In 2021, we partnered with AWS to develop the Datadog Lambda extension which provides a simple, cost-effective way for teams to collect traces, logs, custom metrics, and enhanced metrics from Lambda functions and submit them to Datadog.

A single-line diagram (also known as an SLD or one-line diagram) is a simplified representation of an electrical system. Symbols and lines are used to represent the nodes and connections in the system, and electrical characteristics may be included as well. In a data center, a single-line diagram is used to visualize the power distribution system to improve planning and troubleshooting, ensure redundancy, and reduce potential outages.

Logging as a Service, or LaaS, is a proven approach to managing and monitoring high-volume log data in modern dynamic environments. LaaS allows companies to manage log data regardless of whether it comes from applications, servers, or devices. With LaaS, companies can more easily aggregate and collate data, scale and manage storage requirements, set up notifications and alerts, and analyze data and trends. It also allows teams to customize dashboards, reports, and visualizations.

How can you tell if your systems are reliable when under load? A common answer is to open your observability dashboards, wait for a high-traffic event (like Black Friday), and cross your fingers. While this approach is certainly effective, it's far from ideal. Without proactive reliability and load testing, we have no idea if a system will hold up to real-world usage patterns, which could mean a production outage at the worst possible time.

RAN has incrementally evolved with every generation of mobile telecommunications, thus enabling faster data transfers between user devices and core networks. The amount of data has increased more than ever with an increase in the number of interlinked devices. With existing network architectures, challenges lie in handling increasing workloads with the ability to process, analyse and transfer data faster. The 5G ecosystem requires virtual implementations of RAN.

Monitoring HTTP sessions offers a potentially powerful way to gain visibility into your web servers, but in practice, doing so can be complex and resource-intensive. Extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) technology allows you to overcome these challenges, giving you a simple and efficient way to process application-layer traffic for your troubleshooting needs.

The process of delivering mobile apps utilizing cloud technology is known as mobile cloud computing (MCC). Complex mobile apps today carry out activities including authentication, location-aware features and providing users with customized communication and content. As long as your device is online, mobile cloud computing enables you to store and access data anywhere. This makes it possible for data to be sent without difficulty anytime required.

We are happy to announce that Bitbucket Pipelines now supports non-containerized Linux Shell Self-Hosted Runners. We have moved from beta to an official release. You can now create a self-hosted runner and run it on your Linux infrastructure without container restrictions. Since it is your infrastructure, you will not be charged for the build minutes used by your self-hosted runner.
