Testing the mettle: All you need to know about evaluating data solutions for large-scale applications

Imagine your organization encounters a project where you have to switch storage vendors... What would you do? To begin with, you will need to evaluate and test the performance of the storage providers on your servers. At Civo, we faced a similar project, allowing us to test several storage providers on our bare metal servers. In this article, we will discuss what you should look for while migrating to a different provider and the ways you can test these providers.

Datadog & Speedscale: Improve Kubernetes App Performance

By combining traffic replay capabilities from Speedscale with observability from Datadog, SRE Teams can deploy with confidence. It makes sense to centralize your monitoring data into as few silos as possible. With this integration, Speedscale will push the results of various traffic replay conditions into Datadog so it can be combined with the other observability data. Being able to preview application performance by simulating production conditions allows better release decisions. Moreover, a baseline to compare production metrics can provide even earlier signals on degradation and scale problems. Speedscale joined the Datadog Marketplace so customers can shift-left the discovery of performance issues.
