When organizations move toward the cloud, their systems also lean toward distributed architectures. One of the most common examples is the adoption of microservices. However, this also creates new challenges when it comes to observability. You need to find the right tools to monitor, track and trace these systems by analyzing outputs through metrics, logs, and traces.

As organizations mature on their digital transformation journey, they begin to realize that automation – specifically, DevOps automation – is critical for rapid software delivery and reliable applications. But as multicloud environments grow, they become increasingly complex and generate massive amounts of data. In turn, manual approaches to identifying code issues and troubleshooting are not scalable.

By Meenakshi Jindal Overview At Netflix, we built the asset management platform (AMP) as a centralized service to organize, store and discover the digital media assets created during the movie production. Studio applications use this service to store their media assets, which then goes through an asset cycle of schema validation, versioning, access control, sharing, triggering configured workflows like inspection, proxy generation etc.

Recently, “serverless” has become a buzzword, and for good reason. The goal is to simplify the provisioning and management of database capacity. One approach is to separate compute and storage to allow for independent scaling. We are thrilled to announce our collaboration with Neon ( Neon – Serverless, Fault-Tolerant, Branchable Postgres ) to provide a Serverless PostgreSQL that you can control and manage yourself.

If you’re new to the Arm ecosystem, consider this a quick primer on terms you likely have seen before but might have questions about. The Arm architecture is a family of Reduced Instruction Set Architectures (RISC) with simple addressing modes. Data processing is done on register operands otherwise relying on loads and stores to move data into and out of registers.

Monitoring is a small aspect of our operational needs; configuring, monitoring, and checking the configuration of tools such as Fluentd and Fluentbit can be a bit frustrating, particularly if we want to validate more advanced configuration that does more than simply lift log files and dump the content into a solution such as OpenSearch. Fluentd and Fluentbit provide us with some very powerful features that can make a real difference operationally.

In this blog post, we will discuss the capped collection of MongoDB. Capped collection is a fixed-type collection that inserts docs in a circular fashion. This means once allocated files are full, data at the beginning of the first file is overwritten. Consider this: we define a capped collection of size 1GB, it will purge out the oldest document if the allocated size of the collection is full and we have to insert a new document.

In November 2022, the Green Software Foundation organized its first hackathon, “Carbon Hack 2022,” with the aim of supporting software projects whose objective is to reduce carbon emissions. I participated in this hackathon with the Carbon Optimised Process Scheduler project along with my colleagues Kamlesh Kshirsagar and Mayur Andulkar, in which we developed an API to optimize job scheduling in order to reduce carbon emissions, and we won the “Most Insightful” project prize.

Over the years of being a DBA, I had to deal with all kinds of problems in the database. One of the most common problems I faced is the one related to the well-known error “ERROR 1040 (08004): Too many connections”. A lot has been written about this error. Still, the users keep falling into this trap, maybe because of a poorly configured database, a change in the application components, or just because of a sudden increase of connections in the application.

In this post, we will cover the value of database monitoring and how we can use Open Source tools like PMM Percona Monitoring and Management to monitor and manage databases effectively. Why should I care about database monitoring? Once you have passed the installation and configuration of your databases and it is well underway, you have to start monitoring it, and not only the database but the elements related to it.

It’s well-known that Ethereum needs support in order to scale. A variety of L2s ( layer twos ) have launched or are in development to improve Ethereum’s scalability. Among the most popular L2s are zero-knowledge-based rollups (also known as zk-rollups). Zk-rollups offer a solution that has both high scalability and minimal costs. In this article, we’ll define what zk-rollups are and review the latest in the market, the new ConsenSys zkEVM.

In any organization, it is a best security practice to have an SSL certificate installed on servers, applications, and databases. To get an SSL certificate, the first step is to have or build a Certificate Authority (CA). SSL Certificates and CA make communication secure between client and server or application. If you do not have a CA ready internally or externally, you can not issue the certificate to any internal or external application.

Software testing is the process of verifying the working of the software system or application. In other words, it ensures the software application is bug-free and addresses the technical and user requirements. It not only focuses on finding bugs or errors in the software but also considers measures to enhance the software quality in terms of usability, accuracy, and efficiency.
