Balancing cost, performance, and security in cloud infrastructure is challenging, but cloud-mature companies are proving it’s possible to optimize without compromise — here’s how they do it.

Network bandwidth is the maximum rate at which data can be transmitted over a network connection in a given time. Essentially, it’s the highway for your data. Bandwidth is often measured in bits per second (bps), but in larger systems, you’ll see measurements like megabits per second (Mbps) or gigabits per second (Gbps). Bandwidth plays a critical role in IT infrastructure because it determines how quickly data can move.

Availability and reliability are crucial for modern software applications and digital services. Meeting service requirements and avoiding downtimes promote customer satisfaction, trust, and credibility. A multi-region deployment strategy can help. Systems that are not reliable or available when needed can cause lost revenue and business, unplanned maintenance, and decreased productivity. Companies can lose up to $9,000 per minute during service downtime.

We at Icinga / NETWAYS (yes, that’s the order) held an internal event recently. It’s name was Knowledge Days and I got to to talk about how I review code. Now, I will share my knowledge with you! Though, this is specifically how I personally perform reviews. This is by no means the definitive way of doing it! Find your own, I can only share my experience. So without further ado…

Earlier this year, we introduced relational fields. Relational fields enable you to query spans based on their relationship to one other within a trace, rather than only in isolation. We’ve now expanded this feature and introduced four new prefixes: child., none., any2., and any3.. Previously, you could use root., parent., and any. to query on the root span of your target span’s trace, the parent span of your target span, and any other span in the same trace as your target span.

In today's data-driven world, businesses need to collect, process, and analyze large volumes of data in real-time to make informed decisions. Amazon Kinesis, a powerful streaming platform, helps companies build scalable and resilient data pipelines. However, ensuring that the pipeline functions efficiently requires robust monitoring practices.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is a powerful, comprehensive cloud platform that supports a wide range of enterprise workloads. Whether you're running complex databases, applications, or large-scale analytics, OCI offers the infrastructure to handle it all. But as with any robust cloud environment, effective monitoring is crucial to ensure performance, security, and cost-efficiency.

Application performance is critical for a seamless user experience, but all too often, developers find themselves struggling to pinpoint slowdowns. Understanding the root cause is the first step to diagnosing and solving performance issues. In this article, we’ll explore six common root causes of application performance slowdowns and share actionable advice on how to fix them. We will also show how platforms like Sentry can help uncover, trace, and debug these issues faster.
