The global "mHealth market" is anticipated to reach USD 293.29 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 29.1% over the forecast period, according to Fortune Business Insights. This growth is being driven by the rising adoption of mobile health technologies and the increasing use of cloud-based services.

Organizations are starting to realize that simply writing tests to generate traffic is simply not good enough. Rather, production traffic replication is now necessary, where you record traffic from your production environment and then replay it in your development environment. To match the modern principles of this testing methodology, it makes sense to also utilize modern infrastructure, like Kubernetes. Some benefits of using Kubernetes for production traffic replication are the ability to: Additionally, load generators are ephemeral. These reasons-and a few more besides-will be covered later in this post, but let's first take a deeper look at what production traffic replication is.

Whether you're working from home and trying to join an important meeting, or catching up with an old friend, when connections falter, frustrations rise quickly.

The tech scene is expanding rapidly across the world. In fact, in the last year alone, within the UK, a new tech unicorn was created every eleven days - more than doubling the number of UK unicorns from 2017. From AI and automation, to DevOps and data engineering, innovations are continuing to reshape and improve our everyday and working lives, critical at this time of socio economic instability. Here are thoughts from tech leaders, globally, exploring what 2023 has in store.

Did you know that Artificial Intelligence began as an experimental program? However, as the global spending on Artificial Intelligence stood at over $118 billion in 2022 and continues to grow, it's become apparent that this is one experiment that's here to stay and will completely transform the way business operations are undertaken.

As we settle into the time of year when we reflect on what we're thankful for, we tend to focus on important basics such as health, family and friends. But on a professional level, IT operations (ITOps) practitioners are thankful to avoid disastrous outages that can cause confusion, frustration, lost revenue and damaged reputations. The very last thing ITOps, network operations center (NOC) or site reliability engineering (SRE) teams want while eating their turkey and enjoying time with family is to get paged about an outage. These can be extremely costly - $12,913 per minute, in fact, and up to $1.5 million per hour for larger organizations.
