Why Finance Teams Love CloudZero (Even if It's Built for Engineering)

CloudZero is a platform that helps you understand cost — but that doesn't mean it's purely a finance tool. In fact, unlike most other cloud cost management and optimization solutions, it’s built for engineering. However, CloudZero still makes a lot of finance teams very happy.

Grouping AWS Lambda functions with Dashbird Project View

One of the serverless best practices is one-purpose functions. You should keep your Lambda functions small and solve exactly one use-case. This way, you can optimize them better and keep potential security problems contained. But creating many small functions can get overwhelming quickly. Even small projects can end up with more than 20 Lambda functions.

Exploring the Value of your Google Cloud Logs and Metrics

With our ability to ingest GCP logs and metrics into Splunk and Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring, there’s never been a better time to start driving value out of your GCP data.

But what exactly is serverless computing?

Key metrics for monitoring AWS Fargate

AWS Fargate provides a way to use AWS container orchestration services—Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS)—without needing to provision and maintain the infrastructure that runs your containers. Fargate is similar to serverless container platforms from Google (Cloud Run) and Microsoft (AKS virtual nodes).
