Driving productivity of software development and delivery teams is critical for any organization. The six years of research by DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA) showcases the role easy-to-use tooling plays in driving this productivity and in turn a better work/life balance for the team. The research finds that highest performing teams are 1.5x more likely to have tools they consider easy to use.

As our customers scale and utilize Coralogix for more teams and use cases, we decided to make their lives easier and allow them to set up their Coralogix account using declarative, infrastructure-as-code techniques. In addition to setting up Log Parsing Rules and Alerts through the Coralogix user interface and REST API, Coralogix users are now able to use modern, cloud-native infrastructure provisioning platforms.

Maintaining product focus is the best way to guarantee a successful business. As the late great Steve Jobs put it: “if you keep an eye on the profits, you’re going to skimp on the product… but if you focus on making really great products, the profits will follow.” There are a wide variety of statistics available on how much time developers actually spend writing code, anywhere from 25% to 32%.

A decade ago, DevOps teams were slow, lumbering behemoths with little automation and lots of manual review processes. As explained in the 2020 State of DevOps Report, new software releases were rare but required all hands on deck. Now, DevOps teams embrace Agile workflows and automation. They release often, with relatively few changes. High-quality DevOps change management is no longer a nice-to-have, it’s a must. For a lot of DevOps teams, this is easier said than done.

Logging and metrics may sound interchangeable, and you may think the information from one can be used in the same way as information from the other. But the reality couldn’t be further from the truth. Logging and metrics are two concepts you must use both independently and together to ensure your infrastructure and applications operate at their best.

It’s no secret that Amazon Web Services is a powerhouse Cloud provider, and one of the market pioneers in Cloud operations. They do, after all, power some of the world’s biggest and most modern systems we all use and love today. It’s natural then that they attract a lot of users both big and small to deliver high quality and effective solutions. With growing user demand comes the need for new methods of visibility and intelligence.

If your company has multiple servers or services that create log files, reviewing them to find the causes of troubles or to find security breaches, takes up too much time. Log monitoring and event logging software is a powerful tool for solving the problem of reviewing logs and helping you with log analytics, business intelligence, and log management. It allows professionals to track the activities of users, detect changes to applications, hardware, and network connectivity, and more.

Microsoft Monitoring health and usage information is a critical maintenance task for any site or application, whether it’s running in your on-premises datacenter, hybrid or public cloud environment, or hosted environment. Today’s challenge is that enterprises still require end-to-end monitoring insights of their running (and not running) application workloads, while also knowing that they are losing ground on the physical characteristics of managing their own datacenters.

Here at Datadog, we have always strived to build monitoring tools that are robust yet flexible.
