Deploying a stack into AWS is at the core of what Stackery helps you do. So much so that Stackery users deployed over 10,000 times last month! For the most part, this has been a manually executed process in our Web UI or command-line client. As teams grow and take on more work, fast and consistent deployments are key to scaling effectively. That’s why we’ve been working this year on continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) features, tailor-built for serverless applications.

In Cloud Logging, we understand that logging is a critical part of what it takes for you to operate reliable applications and infrastructure on Google Cloud. We’ve added new features to help you more easily store, find and control your logs. Today, we’re announcing a new default logging experience: Logs Explorer. Previously known as Logs Viewer Preview, Logs Explorer provides new tools for you to better understand and analyze your logs during the troubleshooting process.

Today, AWS launched Amazon Timestream, a fast, scalable, serverless time series database purpose-built for IoT use cases. If you’re looking into trying out Timestream, know that you can visualize the native Timestream queries with Grafana out of the box. Here are some examples of the robust, SQL-style Timestream queries visualized in Grafana.

In previous articles we talked about the need to move forward to cloud technology, as well as about the incorporation of the monitoring of this technology, describing this need with Microsoft Azure tool. Now we are going to describe the Amazon AWS tool, its differences regarding Microsoft Azure and we will delve into monitoring AWS with Pandora FMS.

We are excited to announce a new partnership with Microsoft Azure, which has enabled us to build streamlined experiences for purchasing, configuring, and managing Datadog directly inside the Azure portal. This first-of-its-kind integration of a third-party service into a public cloud provider reduces the learning curve for using Datadog to monitor the health and performance of your applications in Azure—and sets you up for a successful cloud migration or modernization.
