Serverless computing is becoming increasingly popular in software development due to its flexibility of development and the ability it affords to test out and run solutions with minimal overhead cost. Vendors like AWS provide various tools that enable businesses to develop and deploy solutions without investing in or setting up hardware infrastructures. In this post, we’ll cover the many different services that AWS provides for supporting serverless computing.

Kubernetes is one of the current leading technologies. Its adoption has seen tremendous growth in the past few years. The concept of containers is a paradigm that appears to be the predominant medium of software development and deployment in the coming future. Containers help maintain consistency across various platforms, as they pack an application with its dependencies to help move it from one platform to another.

Thank you all for joining us last week for Failover Conf 2! We had a great turnout this year, with over 1,800 participants, 20 sponsors, and 9 amazing sessions. After more than a year of virtual events and video calls, we know that Zoom fatigue is real. We tried to make this event different by finding new ways to bring the community together and thinking of fun new ways to shake up the conference formula.

At Speedscale, we’re always trying to find ways to iterate faster and reduce developer toil. In line with that mission, we slant our engineering decisions towards using cutting edge tech because we usually move faster and it also allows us to help our customers later on when they upgrade their own tech stack. Recently, we had the opportunity to upgrade the communication channel between our api-gateway and react front end. This journey provided some unexpected benefits.

If we look at server definition, it is a piece of computer software or hardware that provides functionality to other devices or programs called clients. System administrators often come up with a common question over the performance of a server – Why is my server down? If server monitoring and management are inefficient, it often makes it very difficult to correctly analyze complex and unpredictable information in a data center. It’s hard to find a reason for server outage.

We’re proud to announce the release version 1.6 of the HAProxy Kubernetes Ingress Controller. This version provides the ability to add raw configuration snippets to HAProxy frontends, allows for ACL/Map files to be managed through a ConfigMap, and enables complex routing decisions to be made based on anything found within the request headers or metadata.

Here at LogicMonitor, we’re really big on extensibility and automation. We’re constantly adding to our catalog of monitoring coverage, and we spend a lot of our time ensuring that setup is as simple as possible. We also monitor almost any data you can expose on a network. People have done way more with LogicMonitor than we would have ever imagined, and I’m extremely excited to announce our next step in that commitment to extensibility and automation.
