We’re excited to share more details today about a long-running project that the Kibana team has been working on for the past couple of years: the Kibana development platform.

At Elastic, we believe in the power of open source and understand the importance of community. By putting the community first, we ensure that we create the best possible product for our users. With Elastic Security, two of our core objectives are to stop threats at scale and arm every analyst. Today, we’re opening up a new GitHub repository, elastic/detection-rules, to work alongside the security community, stopping threats at a greater scale.

AWS API Gateway is a great service but can be quite expensive, and even cost-prohibitive in some cases. An Application Load Balancer is a viable alternative since it integrates seamlessly with Lambda functions and is also highly scalable and reliable. For very small traffic, API Gateway will probably be the winner, but in high-throughput cases, ALB is capable of providing up to 90% savings.

To little surprise, online spending in the U.S. has grown 40% since the onset of quarantines in March. A similar trend has played out in other countries: in the UK, online retail spending reached a record high of 30% of total sales in April, according to the Office of National Statistics. If there was ever a solid reason to invest in technologies and people to improve customer experiences (both online and offline) it’s Covid-19.

A few years ago I wrote a blog article about the zero-trust network security model and why I thought it was something every organization should be thinking about implementing. While I still believe that to be true—probably more true than ever, in fact—the landscape since then has changed a great deal, particularly because of the increase in cloud-based services, and zero-trust is now an extremely achievable goal.

Today’s modern deployment pipeline is arguably one of the most important aspects of an organization’s infrastructure. The ability to take source code and turn it into a production application that’s scalable, reliable and highly available has become an enormous undertaking due to the pervasiveness of modern application architectures, multi- or hybrid-cloud deployment strategies, container orchestration and the leftward movement of security into the pipeline.

IT’s role in the modern workplace has never been more critical and complex than right now. IT is pressured to roll out new technologies and drive innovation all while providing instant support for end users in an ever-changing workplace. Employees expect to work with the best tools in tech, from wherever they are, and however they choose.

Today we launched the next generation of our digital employee experience (DEX) management platform, Nexthink Experience™. We strongly believe that this technology will shape the future of end-user computing and I cannot help but think back nostalgically to how this entire journey started.

We are proud to announce the next generation of our platform, Nexthink Experience™, a cloud-native solution that equips IT with the ability to proactively manage Digital Employee Experience (DEX) for continuous optimization. With a groundbreaking set of new capabilities, IT no longer has to struggle to answer the question “how do I solve this issue?” For the first time, they can prioritize issues, pinpoint causes, and resolve computing problems across their entire infrastructure.

In this current age of the Internet, it’s a common practice to build a website to run your online business. With the networks all around the world, theoretically, you can do business boundlessly. However, like each country has its boundary, the world of Internet is not a world without any control. In fact, every country has its own laws and rules toward this virtual world. And the case is especially different, when China’s Internet environment is involved.
