Apache Airflow is an open-source orchestration platform that enables the development, scheduling and monitoring of tasks using directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). Here at Sumo, our team has been using this technology for several years to manage various jobs relating to our organization’s Global Intelligence, Global Confidence, and other data science initiatives. We self-host the tool through Kubernetes.

From Sumo Logic’s inception over a decade ago, we made a strategic bet to go all in with Amazon Web Service (AWS). Today, many of our customers rely on Sumo Logic to gain unified visibility into their growing number of AWS services, cut troubleshooting time and unlock comprehensive root cause analysis for complete issue resolution.

There’s always a thrill to see something that you’ve dreamed of coming to life. And for us, open source docs is the realization of that dream. In simple terms, open source docs mean that the documentation is freely available for anyone to modify. This is a part of the modern documentation movement, being able to make changes to keep pace with modern development cycles.

If you work in IT or DevOps, unless you’ve been living on a remote island without Internet access, you’ve likely heard of Datadog, a popular platform for monitoring cloud applications. Datadog collects and interprets data from various IT resources. The resulting insights assist in managing performance and reliability challenges to deliver a better end-user experience.

IT systems are constantly growing in complexity. This makes it increasingly difficult to understand how a certain infrastructure-related issue would impact your application, end users and your business overall.

I wanted to take a moment to reflect upon a significant milestone and celebration on September 20, 2022, in which I had the honor and privilege of representing our Sumo community to ring the Nasdaq bell to commence trading. It was a meaningful and emotional moment for me personally because it represented how far we’ve come to build a company, culture and community to enable and accelerate digital transformation for companies around the world.
