The latest News and Information on Observabilty for complex systems and related technologies.
When people hear the word “migration,” they typically think about migrating from on-prem to the cloud. In reality, companies do migrations of varying types and sizes all the time. However, many teams delay making critical migrations or technical upgrades because they don’t have the proper tools and frameworks to de-risk the process.
In today's evolving technological landscape, enterprises are under increasing pressure to deliver high-quality software at an accelerated pace. Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) provide a centralized developer portal that empowers developers with self-service capabilities, standardized development environments, and automation tools to accelerate the software development lifecycle. In this week's blog, we're taking a closer look at internal developer platforms and how implementing IDPs is helping organizations overcome the complexity of modern software development and increase developer efficiency to accelerate the delivery of software products.
Across industries and geographies, businesses rely heavily on Systems Applications and Products (SAP) systems. These powerful and versatile systems streamline operations and manage critical data spanning areas like finance, human resources, and supply chain. However, the real-time monitoring of these systems, with an in-depth understanding of performance metrics and quick anomaly detection, is paramount for smooth operations and business continuity. It's here that our unique offering steps in.
Engineering organizations that ship fast have Observability as part of their core DNA.
At Traceloop, we’re solving the single thing engineers hate most: writing tests for their code. More specifically, writing tests for complex systems with lots of side effects, such as this imaginary one, which is still a lot simpler than most architectures I’ve seen: As you can see, when an API call is made to a service, there are a lot of things happening asynchronously in the backend; some are even conditional.
Just when you thought everything that could be shifted left has been shifted left, we’re sorry to say you’ve missed something: observability. Modern software development—where code is shipped fast and fixed quickly—simply can’t happen without building observability in before deployments happen. Teams need to see inside the code and CI/CD pipelines before anything ships, because finding problems early makes them easier to fix.
