Looking back at 15 Years of Catchpoint and Internet Performance History

Fifteen years ago, the Internet was a very different place. It operated on a very different scale, had different market leaders and it faced different technical challenges. What has not changed, however, is the need for the best – indeed ever higher - performance and resilience. We founded Catchpoint in September 2008 (amid terrible economic conditions) with the desire to make the Internet better. Not exactly the greatest year to launch a startup.

How to Fix Source Map Upload Errors

A stack trace lacking your source code with all the variables and function names, is like putting together a jigsaw puzzle without a picture for reference. You have all these randomly shaped pieces but no way to know how they fit together. Unless you are fluent in computer, making sense of a JavaScript stack trace with minified code is going to make debugging very difficult. Thankfully, by uploading source maps to Sentry, you can map back to the original source code to make sense of what went wrong.

Discover Promox plugin

Proxmox is an open source server virtualization environment. With this plugin, and by using the API, we will be able to extract data about nodes, backups, virtual machines and existing lxc containers, as well as information related to the system storage. In this video we see how the plugin works at a manual execution level in the terminal and how to register and use it in our PandoraFMS console.

Rapid Performance Analysis using Developer Tools

In the world of performance testing there is a heavy focus on the practice of load testing. This requires building complex automated test suites which simulate load on our services. But load testing is one of the most expensive, complicated, and time consuming activities you can do. It also generates substantial technical debt. Load testing has its time and place, but it's not the only way to measure performance.
