$575 million was the cost of a huge IT incident that hit Equifax, one of the largest credit reporting agencies in the U.S. In September 2017, Equifax announced a data breach that impacted approximately 147 million consumers. The breach occurred due to a vulnerability in the Apache Struts web application framework, which Equifax failed to patch in time. This vulnerability allowed hackers to access the company's systems and exfiltrate sensitive data. ‍

As we’ve talked about before, our app is a monolith: all our backend code lives together and gets compiled into a single binary. One of the reasons I prefer monolithic architectures is that they make it much easier to focus on shipping features without having to spend much time thinking about where code should live and how to get all the data you need together quickly. However, I’m not going to claim there aren’t disadvantages too. One of those is compile times.

As enterprises grapple with the evolving landscape of security threats, the need to safeguard internal networks from the broader internet is increasingly important. In environments with restricted internet access, it can be difficult to manage software updates in an easy, reliable way. When managing devices in the field, change management and compliance policies can introduce even more complexity to the update process. You can solve these challenges using snaps and the Snap Store Proxy.

Let's face it! Kubernetes is the standard for container orchestration, reshaping how we deploy and manage applications for the last 8 years - do you even remember when you run "docker run " on an application server? 😁. However, it's crucial to recognize that Kubernetes was never initially designed with the everyday developer in mind.

Infrastructure as code (IaC) is the act of writing infrastructure configurations as code so they can be understood, repeated, and enforced with less manual effort. IaC is also a powerful way to convert tribal knowledge into technical knowledge. It’s a far-reaching and essential part of managing infrastructure at scale, with benefits that have expanded to platform engineering, security and compliance, network administration, and so much more.

In this article, we will thoroughly address RMM Software (Remote Monitoring and Management Software) and its essential role for Managed Service Providers (MSPs). We will explain the core functions of RMM, from remote monitoring to efficient management of client devices, highlighting its key advantages such as reducing labor costs and improving productivity.

Time and time again we hear the same statements from FinOps teams with respect to what is holding back optimization of wasteful resource consumption. Engineers and App Owners are interested in helping but stop short at actually taking actions to reduce that waste. There are many reasons for this main sticking point when it comes to application owners and developers taking action.

Naturally, our own platform forms the backbone of our cloud cost savings strategy. And before releasing any new feature, we try it out ourselves to see how well it helps us manage our own SaaS costs. If it works well for us, that means there’s already one satisfied user in the world — and there will likely be more!
