Platform Engineering 101: Origins, Goals, DevOps vs SRE & Best Practices

Platform engineering is the practice of automating infrastructure operations and enabling self-service infrastructure capabilities within collaborative Dev, Ops and QA teams. It involves designing and building platforms, technologies and workflows that enable self-service capabilities to automatically manage, provision and operate complex modern software architecture environments.

Making Kubernetes Dev-Friendly with Komodor & Okteto

Kubernetes has become the software world’s infrastructure, leading to significant changes in application architecture and packaging. Despite the introduction of new technologies and practices, they have not kept pace with the rapid growth of the K8s ecosystem. As a result, developers who once solely focused on coding are now spending hours on operations, leading to a longer feedback loop during development. They’re expected to have an understanding of Kubernetes in order to do their jobs, causing a significant drop in productivity and leading to a poor dev experience.

Anomaly Detection Using OSquery and Grafana

Detecting unauthorized usage and malicious applications in an instance involves analyzing OS and application logs. Doing this manually is a herculean effort because of the number of logs and the patterns one has to look for. Having a tool that can provide an aggregated view of your instance and the ability to analyze them easily can greatly reduce manual effort.

The Guide to SRE Principles

Site reliability engineering (SRE) is a discipline in which automated software systems are built to manage the development operations (DevOps) of a product or service. In other words, SRE automates the functions of an operations team via software systems. The main purpose of SRE is to encourage the deployment and proper maintenance of large-scale systems.

Automotive industry trends for 2023 and beyond

After the rough COVID-19 years, 2022 has seen the start of economic improvements. Although the automotive industry is experiencing its worst sales numbers in over a decade, it saw increased profits thanks to strong demand, allowing for higher prices.

What do you see in the clouds?

Remember being a carefree kid? Laying down in a field on a warm spring day, gazing up at the sky, and imagining shapes in the clouds. Maybe you saw a lion or an elephant dancing across the sky. You felt grounded and safe, enjoying the breeze while listening to cheers from the football game in the distance. But could you see the rain forming on the horizon threatening to distort your animal shapes and send the football team running for cover?

The Future of Infrastructure Monitoring: Cutting-Edge Technologies IT Leaders Can't Ignore

Managing IT infrastructure can be tough, especially when you’re dealing with scattered data, unexpected downtime, and slow problem-solving. The key to overcoming these hurdles is adopting a user-friendly, all-in-one Infrastructure Performance Monitoring (IPM) solution. In this blog, let’s explore how a top-notch IPM system can change the way you handle your IT infrastructure and show you how a cutting-edge IPM platform can address these common issues.

Issue breakdowns and drift details stoke software delivery

New in Sleuth for March 2023: See how issue breakdowns give you more visibility and show you the status of any issue referenced in your deployments. They're especially useful when looking at your work in progress so you can see what's in review, what's in progress, and what's being investigated. Plus, environment drift details provide visibility into the specific deploys, PRs, commits and issues that comprise the drift between any two environments. Less drift means fewer production issues.
