The Importance of Business and Performance KPIs for IoT Applications
By Vasu Pasupuleti
Over the last few years, the Internet of things (IoT) has become a trending
phrase for consumers and a top priority for businesses embarking on their
digital transformation. Even with the growth and interest in IoT however, the
meaning can still confuse people.
So, what is IoT? IoT is a network of things connected to the internet and is
uniquely identifiable through its embedded computing system. These
“things” may include a variety of devices like home appliances,
commercial vending machines, fitness trackers, industrial gateways, connected
cars, and smart factories.
And worldwide spending on IoT devices is on the rise, with IDC’s Worldwide
Semiannual Internet of Things Spending Guide predicting that global spending
in IoT will leap from over $800 billion in 2017 to $1.4 trillion... (more)
How Continuous Integration Works, and the Big Benefit No One Talks About
By Sarah Albeb
In a digital world that moves as fast as ours, programmers are applying new,
creative ways of thinking to the software development process in a non-stop
push for ever-faster turnaround times. In DevOps, Continuous Integration (CI)
is increasingly the integration method of choice, in large part because of
the speed at which it enables the release of new features, bug fixes, and
product updates.
CI dictates that every time a developer pushes code to an application, an
automated process grabs the... (more)
Good Migrations: Five Steps to Successful Cloud Migration
By Laura Winkenbach
Unless you've been living in a cave for the last decade, you've seen cloud
computing spread like fire across every industry. You also probably know that
the cloud plays a pivotal role when it comes to digital transformation.
Whether "the app is the business" is a well-worn subject or not, it doesn't
change the fact that companies are spinning up their apps faster because they
can scale, test, and optimize them in real production environments in the
cloud. But, like any technology, the cloud isn't perfect... (more)
We are excited to announce full support for Java 9 as part of our Winter
‘17 product release. Java 9 introduces some interesting features such as
incubator support for HTTP/2 and making the G1 Garbage Collector (GC) the
default GC for the Java virtual machine (JVM). But the most fundamental
change that impacted all Java performance monitors and profilers is its
modularization support.
Specifically, Java 9 includes a feature called “Jigsaw” which provides
support for the Java module system. The implementation of modules within the
JVM presents unique challenges to our Java monito... (more)
Blockchain: Everything You Need to Know
By Omed Habib
The first thing you need to know about blockchain is that it enables the
creation of virtual currencies and intelligent contracts. At its core is the
concept of a “distributed ledger,” where data on transactions is recorded
across a range of specified databases. Every transaction can be tracked and
replicated in real time. That’s how the identities of user accounts, even
if they are anonymous, can be verified and secured behind advanced
cryptography and digital signatures.
The second thing you need to know is that blockchain c... (more)
In high-production environments where release cycles are measured in hours or minutes — not days or weeks — there's little room for mistakes and no room for confusion. Everyone has to understand what's happening, in real time, and have the means to do whatever is necessary to keep applications up and running optimally.
