During the month of August we dropped heaps of new features across the entire Sentry platform. From identifying user frustration through rage and dead clicks to expanding front end Profiling support, your Sentry Dev Team has skipped their summer vacations (well, kinda…) and been hard at work delivering more capabilities to help you better deal with application errors and performance issues.
How do companies actually use Azure DevOps? What are the use cases? We took a look at how the team at SquaredUp uses Azure DevOps to build their CI/CD pipelines and deploy new features to their SaaS product.
Self-hosting is effective for many companies. But when is it time to let go and try the easier way? There’s no such thing as free lunch, or in this case, free software. It’s a myth. Paul Vixie, vice president of security at Amazon Web Services, creator of the original Domain Name System (DNS), gave a compelling presentation at Open Source Summit Europe 2022 about this topic.
The information gap is broadening. According to Ivanti’s 2023 Press Reset cybersecurity report, over 50% of surveyed security professionals said their organizations hadn’t experienced a phishing incident in the last 24-months – despite virtually every organization getting phished in 2022!
On July 25th, 2023, we experienced a total Honeycomb outage. It impacted all user-facing components from 1:40 p.m. UTC to 2:48 p.m. UTC, during which no data could be processed or accessed. This outage is the most severe we’ve had since we had paying customers. In this review, we will cover the incident itself, and then we’ll zoom back out for an analysis of multiple contributing elements, our response, and the aftermath.
An advanced, open-source technology called Kubernetes is used to manage, scale and deploy containerised applications automatically. Kubernetes offers a strong architecture that enables development and operations teams to effectively manage applications of several containers. Kubernetes was made by Google engineers. They shared it for free in 2014, and now a group called CNCF takes care of Kubernetes. People really like using Kubernetes to manage apps inside containers.
Whenever you use open source software, you benefit from the community that surrounds it — whether it’s a bug fix, better documentation, a helpful tutorial or something else. We at Grafana Labs benefit from the open source community, too: from your participation, and the many OSS components we use in the development of Grafana itself. But what makes an open source community successful, exactly? And how do you build and nurture one?
We’ve been listening to all the great feedback we’ve received on the new item detail page, and we’re pushing changes to help make investigating and understanding Rollbar items easier, quicker, and more efficient. The most visible change is that the context graphs have been moved to a single full-width view on the desktop so that you can immediately see the patterns of when occurrences happened, helping to spot patterns in behavior that can give insights into causes.
