AWS has officially released the support for Node.js 10.x runtime in their AWS Lambda service. The Node.js 10.x runtime is available in all regions where Lambda is available. Node.js 10 (AKA “Dubnium”) is the official LTS version.
We wanted to share what we’ve learned about AWS Lambda and its ecosystem based on over 100,000 instances of Epsagon monitoring and after over four years since Lambda launched.
Today, at Epsagon, we are announcing our agentless tracing and logging tool for modern applications. Our SaaS solution now extends beyond AWS Lambdas and is now geared for containers, VMs and function-as-a-service (Faas) deployments for cloud environments on AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and others, as well as on-premise deployments.
Whether you like it or not, application containers are gaining a foothold everywhere. Even the most conservative fields such as banking are going down the microservices route. But solving one problem often leads to finding another. Designing microservices architecture and building containers for your applications is one step. But to successfully ship a product that scales, resists outages, and allows for updates without any downtime, you need something more than just a container engine.
Today, we are expanding our collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and by providing availability of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) Contracts through the AWS Marketplace, allowing an automated and accelerated purchasing process for AWS customers and expediting time-to-value with Epsagon.
In “2001: A Space Odyssey,” the course of human history is managed by strange and forbidding black monoliths. Monolithic applications can often seem as strange and enigmatic as Kubrick’s stone slabs. Both types of monoliths often have no clear purpose, and it is impossible to figure out how they work. One of the film’s central characters is HAL 9000, a large sentient mainframe that goes haywire in spectacular fashion.
Troubleshooting serverless applications has been one of the major benefits for Epsagon’s users from day one. Finding the root cause of complex issues is accelerated to minutes or even seconds using Epsagon, compared to using other solutions. Today, we are announcing the timeline view – an easy way to identify performance problems in your distributed application.
CI/CD stands for Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery/Continuous Deployment, terms often used in modern software development. Continuous Integration is the practice of merging all of a developer’s working copies to a shared repository multiple times a day. The main idea behind this is to prevent “integration hell”.
