LogSnag is the new kid on the block, but we bet that it will become relevant in this space soon. Today we will show you how to monitor outages and get alerts for your third-party services within LogSnag. What is LogSnag? Here's the intro, but you can learn more at LogSnag official website.

Logs are key to monitoring the performance of your applications. Kubernetes offers a command line tool for interacting with the control plane of a Kubernetes cluster called Kubectl. This tool allows debugging, monitoring, and, most importantly, logging capabilities. There are many great tools for SREs. However, Kubernetes supports Site Reliability Engineering principles through its capacity to standardize the definition, architecture, and orchestration of containerized applications.

We chose to use GoReleaser with our distro of the OpenTelemetry Collector in order to simplify how we build and support many operating systems and architectures. It allows us to build targeting a matrix of GOOS and GOARCH targets as well as automate creating a wide range of deliverables. Ones we have utilized are building tarballs, nfpm packages, docker images, and Homebrew formula.

Akamai is one of the world’s largest CDN solution providers, helping companies greatly accelerate the secure delivery of content to their users all across the globe. Akamai provides this content delivery through its Intelligent Edge Platform, which is made up of hundreds of thousands of edge servers distributed around the planet.

As distributed environments become more complex, users often use distributed tracing tools to improve the visibility of issues evident within their traces. Throughout this post, we will examine some of the best open-source and other generally popular distributed tracing tools available today.

It's fairly common for folks in tech to dream of quitting their day job and working on their side projects. I find when you ask them how their projects are going, they tend to have 2-3 projects running at the same time, none of the projects are actually available for potential users to try out. The question they seem to ask me most is "you seem to complete your projects, how do you stay motivated?" My secret? It's a habit. I ship something every day.

Given the global health crises the world has faced over the last few years, the need for expeditious but accurate medical trials has never been more important. The faster clinical trial data is validated, the faster medicines get approved and treatments become available. Pinnacle 21’s customers are driving forces behind creating life-saving treatments.

Distributed tracing has become critical for application performance monitoring in microservice-based architecture. Jaeger is a popular open-source tool used for distributed tracing. With distributed tracing, engineering teams get a central overview of how user requests perform across multiple services.

In the world of DevOps, every second counts. Problems need to be fixed fast, but with the intention that it’s done with a legitimate purpose for when something’s wrong. Continuous monitoring helps with automation and setting up the right kinds of alerts. If the system is going haywire, every moment not acting can make things worse. That’s why intelligent alerting is critical for enabling observability and continuous effective monitoring.

A pivotal inhibitor to mitigate these challenges is the Data Value Gap. Data automation and Data Fabric are emerging as key technologies to overcome these challenges. Learn from industry experts about these key technologies and how they create a lasting impact in enterprise IT.
