Development operations (DevOps) combines best practices, cultural transformation, and tools to improve your organization’s software development and delivery velocity. Teams can employ DevOps regardless of an organization’s size and continuously deliver new software features, updates, and patches to enhance software quality and customer experiences.

Use Netdata to effectively monitor and troubleshoot the performance of NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory express) disks in your infrastructure. Preempt disk failures and take action to ensure your systems run without a glitch.

Load testing is one of the most common ways to test the resiliency of your applications. In this blog we show how recording production data with Speedscale and exporting to a K6 load tests gives you the best of both worlds. Whether or not it’s important for your organization, there are clear benefits to be had from implementing these types of tests. By doing so, you can: When it comes to load testing, two of the most modern tools are Speedscale and K6.

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.

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.

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.

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.
