It’s Sunday afternoon, and you’re having a nice relaxing weekend, sitting down watching your favorite sporting event. While enjoying the game, you get a high alert email on your phone, noting something’s going on and you need to jump into action. What do you do in these high stress times? Every second counts, and everyone is waiting on you to tell them what’s happening.
With sessions on cloud, big data, and A.I., to training courses, certifications, and hands-on labs, IBM Think 2019 in San Francisco was full of innovation and learning. From talks on emerging technologies and industry trends, the overall theme of the event was clear – IBM is betting on the next chapter of cloud: multi-cloud, Kubernetes, containers, microservices and open-source.
Executive Summary: Practically unlimited remote desktop support for a one time cost of $125! Really? Sounds like a scam? No, we’ve had this underappreciated feature for years. Time to get the word out on how to take advantage of it!
Lambda@Edge is a compute service that allows you to write JavaScript code that executes in any of the 150+ AWS edge locations making up the Amazon CloudFront content delivery network (CDN) service. In this post, I’ll provide some background on CDN technologies. I will also build out an application stack that serves country-specific content depending on where the user request originates from.
There is a lot to love about Kubernetes. It offers one of the best ways to deploy and run applications on a large pool of resources. With its easy-to-use UI and out-of-the-box capabilities like RBAC, monitoring, auditing, logging, and more, Rancher makes it easy to stand up and manage enterprise grade Kubernetes. Using Rancher, IT Operators can point to their cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.) or datacenter and create a cluster with just a few clicks.
If you’ve been following Elasticsearch-related news over the past few months, you’ve most likely heard about a series of cases in which sensitive data stored in Elasticsearch clusters was exposed. Here’s a recap just in case — Equifax, CITI, AIESEC to name just a few.
As you probably know, source maps allow you to view source code context obtained from stack traces in their original, untransformed form. This view is particularly useful when attempting to debug minified code (like UglifyJS) or transpiled code (like TypeScript or ES6). We’ve made the analogy before, but source maps act as the decoder ring to your secret (minified or transpiled) code.
We've added a small but useful feature to Oh Dear! last month, which allows you to customize the recipient of your invoices.
Errors are a fact of life in web development, and even the world's greatest brands are not without fault. Errors can create unhappy customers, deter new ones and reduce revenues. An error monitoring solution offers a clear view of the most important errors based on how often they occur and how they impact users. It will give your engineering team confidence to deploy faster, and debug problems quickly, so they can get back to building new features.
