When an issue happens in your software in production, the channel to send the alert on depends on multiple factors. If it's a critical issue requiring immediate attention, you should alert the team member via phone call.

This is where other channels like SMS, Slack and mobile push notifications come in.

Bazel (pronounced like the tasty herb: “bay-zell”) is an universal build tool developed by Google. Some notable companies like Twitter and projects like the Android Open Source project have migrated to Bazel. In this tutorial, you will learn how to build a Bazel Android project and set it up for continuous integration with CircleCI. We will wrap up by automatically running tests and producing a binary APK file. In addition to the written guide there is a working sample project.

To follow up on our introduction of Grafana Enterprise Logs, the latest addition to the Grafana Enterprise Stack, let’s dig into one of the key features: the admin API and admin plugin. Grafana Loki, Grafana Labs’ log aggregation project, provides the underpinnings of Grafana Enterprise Logs (GEL).

When using services created by other people, it’s often neither obvious what they mean, let alone how to fix them. One of these error messages you might see when using Amazon API Gateway is “encoding not enabled”. The first question here is, what kind of encoding does this error message refer to?

The telecom industry is in the midst of a massive shift to new service offerings enabled by 5G and edge computing technologies. With this digital transformation, networks and network services are becoming increasingly complex: RAN, Core and Transport are only a few of the network’s many layers and integrated components. Today’s telecom engineers are expected to handle, manage, optimize, monitor and troubleshoot multi-technology and multi-vendor networks.

5G is in the process of transforming communications technology, enabling never-before-seen data transfer speeds and high-performance remote computing capabilities.

Connected devices will obviously have a firm hold of various industries in the present. Since the pandemic Covid 19, has affected every aspect of our life, the evolution of innovations in IoT has been impacted a lot in the daily life of people amid the crisis. The connection between the world is being made easily possible with increased use cases with the IoT devices, which connects appliances and initiates the exchange of information.

When it comes to conversations around application architecture or working with integrations between applications, you’ve likely heard a couple terms pop up a few times: microservice and APIs. You might also have run across the common misconception that microservices are just a way to implement APIs so they can communicate with each other. As you’ll see in this article, there are alternative ways to architect our microservice applications.
