Heroku Monitoring: Visualization and Understanding Data

Data visualization is a way to make sense of the vast amount of information generated in the digital world. By converting raw data into a more understandable format, such as charts, graphs, and maps, it enables humans to see patterns, trends, and insights more quickly and easily. This helps in better decision making, strategic planning, and problem-solving. Visualization and understanding data are critical in platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offerings like Heroku.

What Is Infrastructure as Code? How It Works, Best Practices, Tutorials

In the past, managing IT infrastructure was a hard job. System administrators had to manually manage and configure all of the hardware and software that was needed for the applications to run. However, in recent years, things have changed dramatically. Trends like cloud computing revolutionized—and improved—the way organizations design, develop, and maintain their IT infrastructure.

Is your cloud provider executing network maintenance? Yes, yes they are.

What happens to your apps when your cloud provider performs network maintenance? Kentik helps you monitor your app’s network paths and performance on premises, in the cloud, and in between. Kentik can show you the paths your app uses during normal operations and detect any changes that could cause decreased application performance. Public cloud maintenance is necessary, and with Kentik’s network observability platform, you can see exactly when your cloud provider is doing it and how it’s affecting your application traffic.

Using Synthetic Testing for Better Network Observability with Kentik

Mike Krygeris discusses using synthetic testing to maximize network performance and minimize downtime in today’s complex cloud, hybrid, and private on-prem networks. Learn how synthetic testing can help increase observability in all types of networks and web applications.

Time Series Is out of This World: Data in the Space Sector

While time series data is critical for space industries, managing that data is not always straightforward. While humans have yet to develop light-speed travel, teleportation or lots of the other cool things we see in movies or read in books, that doesn’t mean we aren’t making progress. Advances in technology are starting, ever so slowly, to blur the lines between science fiction and reality when it comes to outer space.

Out of Control: Managing log data costs in an economic downturn

Log management costs are growing, and it's a concern for companies, users, and developers trying to scale their organizations in today’s macro environment. Companies are making investments in systems that collect data from the cloud, applications, and infrastructure in order to monitor their performance and security. The amount of machine data generated every day is skyrocketing as businesses digitize and automate operations.
