What a pleasure it was to see many of our customers at our Illuminate user conference, September 11-12. We had record attendance from customers, influencers, and partners. Our time was packed with keynotes, customer presentations (35 customer breakout sessions), certifications, sharing best practices, and time networking and having fun together.
Jim Barksdale, former CEO of Netscape, once said “If we have data, let’s look at data. If all we have are opinions, let’s go with mine.” While Jim may have said this in jest, the exponential boom in data collection indicates that we increasingly prefer to rely on facts rather than conjecture when making business decisions. More data yields greater insights about customer preferences and experiences, internal processes, and security vulnerabilities — just to name a few.
Managing an application’s performance, and specifically keeping it in good condition, is one of the hardest challenges in software development. That’s true for virtually any programming language and platform. Java is no exception to this rule. But beyond that, Java also presents some unique challenges of its own.
Plagiarism remains a big issue online to this day. Some copy from Wikipedia, while others may steal your own work.

Last week, we spoke with a lot of folks at PagerDuty Summit, where we explored the power of error monitoring in a world that’s always on (or on-call). What a neat tweet. Throughout our conversations, one thing became clear: developers are seeking out increased efficiency — they want to minimize time to error detection and resolution. They want to know about issues, find the root cause, and fix them quickly so that they can move on to other things — like writing more code.
When incidents occur, the key to a fast resolution is seamless communication. Traditionally, folks would gather in a “war room” – a room with four walls that served as a gathering place for various teams to solve high-impact problems. As incident management modernizes, teams are more dispersed, and therefore need a higher-tech way to assemble. Opsgenie developed the Incident Command Center (ICC) with exactly this in mind.
