I don’t know about you, but April traveled at the speed of light. A blink and it happened. Our teams have been working at the same speed throughout one of our favorite months of the year. With an incredible amount of updates, we’ve made our product even more transparent and easier to use. It’s not just our world-class documentation that enables you, it’s also the in-product visualizations and enablement that help guide you without you even realizing it.

The 2021 State of the Cloud Report shows that 90 percent of enterprises will increase their public cloud investments this year due to Covid-19.

In April, we brought you the ability to dashboard any data with the new SquaredUp Dashboard Server product – for free. Then at SquaredUp Live, we announced the launch of Dashboard Server Enterprise for enterprise organizations who have got to grips with their dashboarding and now want to scale up. You can purchase unlimited named users and get endless data connections plus new, enterprise integrations that let you dashboard just about anything.

AWS announced AWS Lambda Extensions back in October 2020 and I wrote extensively about it at the time – what it is, how it works, and why you should care. In short, Lambda Extensions allow operational tools to integrate with your Lambda functions and run either in-process alongside your code or in a separate process. To better understand the problems they solve and their use cases, please read my previous article.

As promised, we’re back with other monthly updates! We’ve been swamped with different tasks during the last month, so let’s jump right into it.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) recently announced the launch of CloudWatch Metric Streams. Cloudwatch Streams can stream metrics from a number of different AWS resources using Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose to target destinations. The new service is different from the current architecture. Instead of polling, metrics are delivered via an Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose stream. This is a highly scalable and far more efficient way to retrieve AWS service metrics.

We have been collecting Logplex data for our Heroku customers for a while now. With that data we create Magic Dashboards for Postgres and Redis integrations, and track Heroku Host Metrics. Starting today, we also extract error incidents from Heroku Logplex data and provide you with a magic dashboard for Heroku status codes.
