Building a Distributed Security Team With Cjapi's James Curtis

Mar 30, 2023 By Cribl In Cribl
Join Cribl's Ed Bailey and Cjapi's James Curtis as they discuss the challenges of building a distributed global security team. Talent is hard to find and companies are hiring all over the world to build the best teams possible, but this trend has a price. Traditional management processes do not work, from building culture to the basics around assigning, tracking and measuring work. Team leads and managers rarely have the experience and training to handle remote teams which can impact team effectiveness and thus weaken the enterprise security posture.

Twelve-Factor Apps and Modern Observability

Mar 28, 2023 By Martin Thwaites In Honeycomb

The Twelve-Factor App methodology is a go-to guide for people building microservices. In its time, it presented a step change in how we think about building applications that were built to scale, and be agnostic of their hosting. As applications and hosting have evolved, some of these factors also need to. Specifically, factor 11: Logs (which I’d also argue should be a lot higher up in the ordering).

Trace at Your Own Pace: Three Easy Ways to Get Started with Distributed Tracing

Mar 28, 2023 By Honeycomb In Honeycomb
Stepping through a trace is an invaluable debugging workflow, providing a way to follow requests from service to service even as the applications we manage become more complex and distributed. That same complexity can make getting started with distributed tracing feel overwhelming, but it’s important to remember that instrumenting your code is an additive process—you don’t need to boil the ocean. A trace through a thousand services starts with a single ID.
