The latest News and Information on Observabilty for complex systems and related technologies.
A hybrid infrastructure brings business benefits but it also brings new challenges. Migrating workloads to the cloud is a complex operation that generates more data than engineering teams can adequately manage. Traditional monitoring tools are limited in helping teams find and fix problems during and after a cloud migration. This can throw business strategies off course, limit customer value and hurt the bottom line.
Is all observability data worth the same cost? If you guessed no, then you’d obviously be correct. Anyone familiar with the very nature of gaining targeted observability knows that some data points hold more value than others. Yet, many observability platforms still treat all types of log data the same, and as a result, related costs remain uniform. One of the most persistent observability challenges today is the cost of indexing log data.
Data has become the most valuable thing in the modern world. According to earthweb, more than 2.5 quintillion bytes of data will be created every day in 2022. These large quantities of data should be appropriately organized to identify meaningful patterns for decision-making. Techniques like clustering are widely used to efficiently collect data into groups based on their similarities and differences and improve the observability of your data.
The line from observability to customer joy is straighter than you think. We recently learned this from NS1, a managed DNS provider and Honeycomb customer, in a panel discussion with Nate Daly, Head of Architecture at NS1 and Chris Bertinato, Software Architect at NS1.
In recent years, there has been a rapid expansion in the API market. Today, every piece of software is either an API or uses one. They are now a crucial component of the modern digital economy. As a result, it is becoming increasingly important to grasp how to examine them carefully. In this article, we'll discuss the definitions of API observability and API monitoring as well as how API observability is better than API monitoring.
Everyday when you come into work, you’re bombarded with a constant stream of problems. From service desk calls to network performance monitoring, you’re busy from the moment you login until the moment you click the “shut down” option on your device. Even more frustrating, your IT environment consists of an ever-expanding set of network segments, applications, devices, users, and databases across on-premises and cloud locations.
