In the constantly shifting sands of the IT landscape, keeping pace with the rapid technological advancements and fluctuating economic conditions is a challenge that IT professionals face daily. The Exoprise Digital Workplace Insight 2023 Survey provides a crucial barometer for these changes, offering a comprehensive view of the industry through the lens of those who navigate its complexities every day.

When was the last time your network threw a surprise party – and by party, we mean a full-blown connectivity catastrophe? If you're thinking, "Not on my watch," well, kudos to you! But here’s the reality check – it's not a matter of 'if' but 'when'. With more than 30 years of collective experience in the industry, our team knows that network issues come knocking sooner rather than later, and usually when you least expect it. So, how ready are you for the pitfalls hidden in the future?

Observability isn’t just about watching for errors or monitoring for basic health signals. Instead, it goes deeper so you can understand the “why” behind the behaviors within your system. CI/CD observability plays a key part in that. It’s about gaining an in-depth view of the entire pipeline of your continuous integration and deployment systems — looking at every code check-in, every test, every build, and every deployment.

SaaS discovery is really easy if you’re an end user. You can probably find a product that meets your needs with a Google search and a credit card. However, SaaS discovery from an IT management and governance perspective is a whole different beast. In the past, there haven’t been a lot of easy ways to detect application usage in the browser or restrict user activity without creating hyper-restrictive internet usage policies. Enter SaaS discovery platforms.

Table of contents Frankly, end-to-end testing and synthetic monitoring are challenging in today’s JavaScript-heavy world. There’s so much asynchronous JavaScript code running in modern applications that getting tests stable can be a real headscratcher. That’s why many teams rely on testing mission-critical features and treat “testing the rest” as a nice to have. It’s a typical cost-effort decision.

“Isn’t observability just a fancy term for monitoring?” That’d be the response from most IT folks a few years back if you asked them about it. And here we are in 2023, where Observability now is as imperative a term as security itself.

As organizations adopt Kubernetes, they face gaps in security, reliability, and observability such as unencrypted communication, lack of multi-cluster support, and missing reliability features like circuit breaking. Buoyant Cloud is the dashboarding and automated monitoring component of Buoyant Enterprise for Linkerd, which helps organizations secure and monitor communication between Kubernetes workloads.

As customers scale to thousands of hosts and deploy increasingly complex applications, it can be difficult to ensure that every host is configured to give you the visibility you need to monitor your infrastructure and applications. To ensure visibility across a growing number of hosts, you need to know that your observability strategy is implemented uniformly across your entire fleet of Datadog Agents installed on these hosts.
