When it comes to telemetry data – meaning the logs, metrics, traces and other information engineers use to monitor applications, manage performance and troubleshoot outages– more is usually better.

The evolution of cloud operations currently revolves around the offerings of the hyperscale cloud providers (hyperscalers).

Artificial intelligence (AI) is upending almost every sector – from health care and education to manufacturing and retail. It’s even creeping into comedy. Ameca – billed as the ‘world’s most advanced humanoid robot,’ according to UK start-up Engineered Arts – recently attempted to tell a joke. The punchline is so poor that we will leave… … continue reading
With advancements in technology, and in particular that which carries data across our ether, hybrid connectivity has become increasingly popular as a means to optimize communications. Promising a seamless integration of multiple network technologies, it aims to provide enhanced reliability, flexibility, and performance.

Event-driven architecture is an architectural design approach that relies on events to trigger actions across decoupled services. In this context, an event represents some sort of change in state – a customer logging in to an application, a shopper adding an item to a cart, or a user following a new account. Events may include… … continue reading
New technologies emerge like baggage at an airport carousel. Every so often, a new one pops out from under that rubber flap we all stare at as we wait for our luggage. Cloud, virtualization, software-defined networks. They’ve all been around the carousel. One of the most recent to emerge is artificial intelligence (AI) and its… … continue reading
The cloud is fast becoming the platform of choice to power almost every enterprise application, and with good reason – the cloud offers significant benefits including flexibility, security, and low total cost of ownership. However, that success is not without its challenges. Moving on-premises systems to the cloud and digitally transforming key processes has a… … continue reading
Fire drills and ensuing all-hands-on-deck calls are nothing new for IT operations teams. I can remember working on a site reliability engineering (SRE) team for a large, global enterprise in the shipping industry back in the late 1990s. Early on in my tenure there, an issue occurred that affected the public facing site. Initially, we… … continue reading
