Azure Functions offers a serverless solution that streamlines the development process, minimizes infrastructure overhead, and results in cost savings. The beauty of this approach is that you no longer need to grapple with server deployment and maintenance; the cloud infrastructure automatically furnishes the essential resources to support your applications.

Microsoft Azure provides a completely managed event routing service called Azure Event Grid. It allows you to respond to events received from various Azure services and external applications and forward them to different Azure services and endpoints. Azure Event Grid provides a unified way to manage events in Azure with event-driven programming. With Event Grids, you can create event-driven applications in a serverless environment, cutting down costs and performance lags.

As technology advances and business environments become increasingly competitive, your DevOps team has to continuously improve your product. The challenge is to free up their time so that they can release new product features and improve existing ones. Automating repetitive tasks is one way to accomplish this. Manual approaches also tend to generate or miss errors, slow time to market, and fail to test and monitor system health quickly enough.

Memory (or RAM, short for random-access memory) is a finite and critical computing resource. The amount of RAM in a system dictates the number and complexity of processes that can run on the system, and running out of RAM can cause significant problems, including: This problem can be mitigated using clustered platforms like Kubernetes, where you can add or remove RAM capacity by adding or removing nodes on-demand.

Multiple Azure subscriptions are typically managed by a Tenant in an enterprise. Each subscription is tailored to a specific product, project, module, or environment. This article addresses the utilization of Serverless360 for the monitoring and managing these diverse Azure subscriptions.

The famous phrase “Houston, we’ve had a problem” isn’t a one off event for space missions or Tom Hanks — its a regular occurrence for most IT teams! Today’s IT teams are peppered with alerts indicating that something has gone amiss in their production environments. Visibility of uptime and performance is an essential part of ensuring that your IT infrastructure can power applications to meet business needs and deliver value for users.

In this blog, we will walk you through the basics of getting Netdata, Prometheus and Grafana all working together and monitoring your application servers. This article will be using docker on your local workstation. We will be working with docker in an ad-hoc way, launching containers that run /bin/bash and attaching a TTY to them. We use docker here in a purely academic fashion and do not condone running Netdata in a container.

We recently covered some of the complex decisions and architecture behind Cycle’s brand new interface. In this final installment, we’ll peer into our crystal ball and glimpse into the future of the Cycle portal. Cycle already is a production-ready DevOps platform capable of running even the most demanding websites and applications. But, that doesn’t mean we can’t make the platform even more functional, and make DevOps even simpler to manage.
