Best practices for tracing and debugging microservices

Tracing and debugging microservices is one of the biggest challenges this popular software development architecture comes with - probably the most difficult one. Due to the distributed architecture, it's not as straightforward as debugging traditional monolithic applications. Instead of using direct debugging methods, you'll need to rely on logging and monitoring tools, coding practices, specific databases, and other indirect solutions to successfully debug microservices.

8 Challenges of Microservices and Serverless Log Management

As organizations increasingly adopt serverless architectures and embrace the benefits of microservices, managing logs in this dynamic environment presents unique challenges. In this blog, we’re taking a closer look at the differences between serverless and traditional log management, as well as 8 challenges associated with log management for serverless microservices.

Accelerating software and system migrations with Cortex

Updating a software version, moving to Kubernetes, onboarding a new CI/CD tool... some of these decisions could have enormous productivity upside for your team, while others carry significant risk if not executed by a certain deadline. In either event, getting everyone aligned with what to do, when—is never an easy task. Learn what to avoid for speedy migrations, and how Cortex helps.

Debunking Misconceptions: Amazon Prime Video's Approach to Microservices and Serverless

This is the second blog in our deep dive series on serverless architectures. In the first installment, we explored the benefits and trade-offs of microservices and serverless architectures, highlighting the case of Amazon Prime Video's architectural redesign for cost optimization.

10 Essential Distributed Tracing Best Practices for Microservices

If you are a SaaS provider making an application that deals with, say, a health registry or some personal information of the public, you realize how crucial it is to maintain their confidentiality. It is these situations that demand a previous encryption of data followed by a prompt tracing mechanism that finds out the faults right at the moment or prior to its occurrence. And what better way to keep track of your application than tracing?
