S3 buckets without encryption can leave sensitive data exposed and at risk. As a best practice and to meet a number of industry and governmental regulations, it’s important to ensure that S3 server side bucket encryption has been properly applied at all times. To do this, many security teams rely on their Cloud Posture Security Management (CSPM) platform and/or AWS GuardDuty to monitor their AWS resources and provide alerts when an S3 bucket is found unencrypted.

What if I told you one of the most common mistakes businesses make is reporting on website performance without understanding user experience? What if I said there was much more to website performance monitoring than simply alerting you when your site is experiencing a downtime outage? No two websites – or baselines – are exactly the same.

Capgemini IT, A global systems integrator, looked to SL1 to simplify their toolset and adopt AIOps best practices to transform their event management.

Over the last five years, Redgate’s annual State of Database DevOps Report has provided valuable insights into how and why DevOps is being adopted, along with the drivers for introducing it for both application and database development, and the obstacles businesses and organizations face.

Many years ago, in my earliest IT jobs in Omaha, Nebraska, I realized the field of data was going to continue to evolve and, as such, there would always be a need for people who worked with and understood data. Regardless of which industry someone worked in—financial, medical, governmental, transportation, or retail—someone would have to work with and maintain business data, or the business would fail. This realization led me into the world of databases and SQL Server.

We were able to leverage the Node.js VM module to execute arbitrary JavaScript code with its own set of globals, separate from the running process’ globals.

Modern IT environments have become much more complex to manage thanks to hybrid infrastructures and comprehensive instrumentation that generate metrics, alerts and events data constantly. ITOps (IT Operations) and SRE (Site Reliability Engineering) teams are tasked with providing superior performance and user experience for the numerous applications while not letting the budget out of hand.

In this article, we will implement distributed tracing for a nodejs application based on microservices architecture. To implement distributed tracing, we will be using open-source solutions - SigNoz and OpenTelemetry, so you can easily follow the tutorial. In modern microservices-based applications, it is difficult to understand how requests are performing across multiple services, infrastructure, and protocols.
