Database monitoring - Do's and Don'ts

Enterprises evolve and transform into data-driven businesses, which take valuable insights from the data collected to grow and develop their business. This means that massive chunks of data are collected every second and companies search for ways to process it faster, secure and more accurately. The more data is processed, the smarter is the organisation and the greater potential for data-driven decisions is available.

How to Unit Test with Python

Confidence in the quality, robustness, and reliability of a product are among the most valuable qualities sought after by consumers as well as businesses. This confidence is built through the rigorous testing of a product. In software engineering, practices like extreme programming (XP) and test-driven development (TDD) champion the belief that automated testing should be used from the start of a project.

Chaos Engineering & Autonomous Optimization combined to maximize resilience to failure

Today’s enterprises are struggling to cope with the complexities of their environments, technologies, and applications. On top of these challenges, they face faster release rates, and the need to always deliver the highest level of performance and availability to end-users, at the lowest possible cost.

Accelerate incident investigations with Log Anomaly Detection

Modern DevOps teams that run dynamic, ephemeral environments (e.g., serverless) often struggle to keep up with the ever-increasing volume of logs, making it even more difficult to ensure that engineers can effectively troubleshoot incidents. During an incident, the trial-and-error process of finding and confirming which logs are relevant to your investigation can be time consuming and laborious. This results in employee frustration, degraded performance for customers, and lost revenue.

Best Practices for Container Security on AWS

Containers are superior to Virtual Machines (VM) in many aspects, including the benefits of being lightweight, easily scalable, highly portable, etc. AWS provides two primary container services i.e., Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). Although both ECS and EKS are growing in popularity but achieving security while using these services is relatively a new topic.
