appfleet is now production ready!

First of all what is appfleet? appfleet is an edge compute platform that allows people to deploy their web applications globally. Instead of running your code in a single centralized location you can now run it everywhere, at the same time. In simpler terms appfleet is a next-gen CDN, instead of being limited to only serving static content closer to your users you can now do the same thing for your whole codebase. Run the whole thing where just your cache used to be.

Introducing Splunk OpenTelemetry Java Lambda Wrapper

AWS Lambda has become a core technology in the shift to cloud-native application development, eliminating infrastructure management and fixed costs. But there are trade-offs with serverless environments. Not having access to the production infrastructure can make debugging difficult and there are a lot of moving parts, adding distributed complexity. Monitoring serverless functions in production requires observability beyond CloudWatch logs and metrics.
