Operations | Monitoring | ITSM | DevOps | Cloud

20 years ago, software ate the world. The old ways of monitoring, failing over, or routinely rebooting quickly became inadequate and with a new focus on software excellence, how we monitor and maintain them had to be rethought. Even back then, when new software was released on an annual basis, it was clear that developers and futurists needed to build, inform, and optimize their approach, which required a deeper understanding of the application experience.

As organizations modernize their applications and deliver more complex, cloud-based services, the traditional boundaries between DevOps, SecOps, and ITOps are disappearing. Seamless collaboration between these teams, often referred to as DevSecOps, has become essential for efficiently addressing both reliability and security challenges.

Late last year, Datadog announced something called Flex Logs, a “more affordable” warm storage tier for log data. Designed for high-volume datasets that are infrequently queried and don't require real-time analysis, the Flex Tier offers Datadog Log Management customers a third option for data storage.

At Sumo Logic, we’re committed to helping you scale without breaking your budget. As you may have heard, we recently launched Flex Licensing, a first-of-its-kind economic model that offers free, unlimited log data ingest so different teams can capture and analyze critical data across their enterprise in one place. We’re also committed to tackling related challenges raised by other data sources — like metrics.

You have a business imperative to deliver exceptional customer experiences. Sadly, traditional monitoring and observation methods, which assume predictability, are no longer sufficient.
