A platform as a service, or PaaS, is one of the three major cloud computing service models. In our opinion, it’s the only one that successfully delivers all benefits of the cloud to software developers, including control, cost-effectiveness, flexibility, and scalability. Of course, other as-a-service models are still useful. In fact, all three main cloud computing models offer different advantages to organizations.

Developing apps takes a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. It can feel like a marathon that doesn’t even have the courtesy to end once you cross the finish line. From managing infrastructure to scaling, operations, and security (to name just a few things), it takes plenty of work to ensure that your cherished creation is loved by users and customers. App hosting takes much of this responsibility off your shoulders, and a solid Platform as a Service (PaaS) provider can go even further.

In collaboration with F5, ServiceNow® Cloud Observability is pleased to announce the availability of the OpenTelemetry Arrow Project. This co-donated and co-developed project gives organizations greater control over the data extracted from their cloud applications—as well as a path forward to improve the return on investment (ROI) of that data.

Cloud computing has become the default way for deploying applications or services.

A growing challenge for applications is obtaining optimal availability at all times.

Since inception in 2008, JFrog has hosted its own development environments on-prem. While this approach worked well for a time, the increasing need to deploy faster, while sustaining high quality and reducing hosting costs made us realize that we needed to leverage the JFrog SaaS Production environment. So in 2022, we started an effort to migrate our RnD environments from an on-prem solution to JFrog SaaS Production.

CloudWatch and Sentry are two powerful tools that play crucial roles in monitoring and error tracking, making them essential for any organization that wants to ensure the smooth operation of its applications and systems. CloudWatch, developed by Amazon Web Services (AWS), offers comprehensive monitoring capabilities for AWS resources and applications, providing real-time insights into system performance and resource utilization.

You’re probably all very familiar with the URLs we currently generate automatically for your environments on Upsun by now. And while they are very useful, they’re not the most friendly-looking as, we build them using the following pattern: This approach is important because it ensures that our URLs are unique for all projects and their environments but it also makes them pretty long, overly complicated, and let’s face it—not the prettiest. But this is the case no more!

Azure architecture diagrams are visual representations that illustrate the structure, components, and relationships of a solution or application deployed on Microsoft Azure. These diagrams provide a clear and concise overview of the various Azure resources and services used in a specific architecture. They are helpful for design discussions, documentation, and communication among team members and stakeholders.
