Last Christmas, I bought my wife “Explain the cloud like I am 10” after she told me many times that it was hard for her to relate to what I am doing in my daily work at Qovery. While so far, I have been the sole reader to enjoy the book, I was wondering during my lecture if there were any resources to explain how to build all that. Most topics are software oriented.. So, in this article, I am going to explain how to build your own cloud network 🎊

That’s a bit of a mouthful, but it’s what I’m going to look at in this blog. Here’s why overlapping thresholds in remote monitoring matter.

As you may have already discovered (or will soon encounter), many vendors that offer uptime monitoring solutions charge a setup fee. But instead of seeing this as a legitimate cost, you should view it as stop sign. There are three reasons why.

As modern software systems become increasingly distributed, interconnected, and complex, ensuring production reliability and performance is becoming harder and more stressful. Seemingly nondescript changes to our infrastructure or application can have massive impacts on system uptime, health, and performance, all while the cost of production incidents continues to grow.

What support do developers need at large enterprises to be productive? We often fall into the trap of evaluating coders on output, maybe even innate talent.

Keep reading to see how the latest developments can make your debugging experience less painful.

CloudWatch can be a great start for monitoring your AWS environments, but it has some limitations in terms of granularity, customization, alerting, and integration with third-party tools. In this article, learn all the ways that Kentik can supercharge your AWS performance monitoring.

I recently recorded a Lightboard presentation on securing open source software dependencies in the public cloud. This blog summarises, and expands upon, some of the key elements from that presentation: I think about this topic through two lenses: software supply chains and updating software dependencies while maintaining stability.

Using Grafana Cloud to manage and monitor even your most sensitive data from your AWS services just got easier. If your organization’s workloads are hosted in AWS and you are using a Grafana Cloud instance that’s also hosted in AWS, you can now use AWS PrivateLink to establish a secure connection between your virtual private cloud (VPC) network and Grafana Cloud for all your data.
