DevOps practices, and the teams that implement them, are becoming increasingly critical to the value which any company provides its customers. This was the key message throughout a recent fireside chat between DevOps Institute Chief Ambassador Helen Beal and Moogsoft VP of Product and Design Adam Frank.

Implementing distributed tracing is fast becoming a fundamental expectation when building modern (distributed) systems.

The CI refers to continuous integration, meanwhile, the CD can refer to continuous delivery and/or continuous deployment.

We are excited to partner with AWS to get real-time log data from AWS Lambda through the new AWS Lambda Runtime Log API and AWS Lambda Extensions. AWS Lambda Extensions enable us to more easily integrate into the AWS Lambda execution environment to control and participate in the AWS Lambda lifecycle and the AWS Lambda Logs API enables us to collect function, platform, and extension logs. Through this integration, Sumo Logic and AWS make it possible to reduce operational overhead and improve performance.

One of the struggles developers face is how to catch all Python exceptions. Developers often categorize exceptions as coding mistakes that lead to errors when running the program. Some developers still fail to distinguish between errors and exceptions. In the case of Python application development, a python program terminates as soon as it encounters an unhandled error.
