Pepperdata announced a new product that identifies lines of code and stages of performance issues that are related to CPU, memory, or network and disk I/O. The Pepperdata Code Analyzer for Apache Spark provides Spark application developers with the means to find performance issues and connect them to a specific block of code within their applications.
“One of the most significant challenges in Big Data is achieving optimal performance,” said Ash Munshi, CEO of Pepperdata. “Code Analyzer fills a huge void in application development for Spark, helping developers optimize Spark applications for large-scale production.”
For developers, Code Analyzer is able to identify the lines of code causing the performance issues. It can easily remove resources used during parallel stages, and it can understand why runtime variations occur for the same application. Operations teams can also use the tool for reducing the number of performance issues, or they can use it for communicating detailed performance issues back to developers.

Preempt extends secure authentication for applications
Preempt is extending its secure authentication for applications with the announcement of Preempt Any App. The new offering lets organizations add secure authentication to their enterprise applications, without having to do any manual coding to the application.
“Integrating secure authentication into each application requires significant resources, which typically leads to the majority of internal applications not being protected by MFA, or a very fractured approach at best,” said Ajit Sancheti, co-founder and CEO of Preempt. “Preempt removes the need for application customization, and turns the task of adding MFA support to applications into a simple matter of defining policy, which saves both time and money, while also protecting the organization from security breaches.”
