Software development based on microservices like AWS Lambda results in highly distributed applications and services that are easier to manage. Microservices are smaller apps designed for a specific task or business process. They are abstracted from infrastructure and widely distributed across a production environment.

Amazon’s Elastic Container Service (ECS) is a container orchestrator that provides a low-friction way to run Docker images within the AWS ecosystem; ECS is responsible for scheduling and executing Docker containers, called tasks. While containers are able to produce a number of organizational benefits, including increased velocity, cost savings, and team/service autonomy, they also carry challenges in terms of observability and monitoring.

End-to-end observability enables teams to understand what’s going on in their environments but, without proper alerting, can become quite overwhelming. We continuously strive to ensure that our users are able to make the most of the best tools in the market, and are happy to announce that we now officially integrate with PagerDuty.

In the last decade, more and more companies switched their software architecture from a monolithic approach to microservices. A microservice architecture consists of multiple services that work in conjunction with each other to accomplish a higher goal.

Epsagon is excited to announce that we’ve achieved the Amazon RDS Ready designation, part of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Service Ready Program. This designation recognizes that Epsagon has demonstrated successful integration with Amazon RDS. Achieving the Amazon RDS Ready designation differentiates Epsagon as an AWS Partner Network (APN) member with a product integrating with Amazon RDS and is generally available and fully supported for AWS customers.

Scaling today is crucial. In the era of information explosion, where traffic and data are growing without control and systems are often under severe load, scaling abilities–both horizontally and vertically–must become an integral part of every infrastructure. Kubernetes does exactly this, providing confidence in continuous availability and an out-of-the-box ability to configure thresholds for memory and CPU, which inform the cluster about scaling requirements of the configured services.
