Observability is the latest iteration of application and network monitoring, giving organizations a view into CI/CD pipelines, microservices, Kubernetes and edge decies, among other systems. Yet handling all the data these systems throw off can be a huge challenge. Logs, metrics and traces are important sources of data for performance.
But there’s more to observability than merely collecting data. It needs to be correlated into a topology, so that the relationships between all the moving parts can be seen, and you can learn how an event can impact some other part of the system.

DevOps delivery practices are being adopted across the industry, but unfortunately they’re not always built with quality assurance as a core capability. Teams have no choice but to build a testing strategy as they go, rather than designing the culture, processes, and tools upfront. QA testing as an afterthought in an agile or CI/CD environment results in measurable inefficiencies across the entire development team; and oftentimes will directly impact the user experience with too many bugs reaching production.
Applying QA best practices to every phase of application development has the most impact on customer and employee happiness. Putting automated testing at the center of DevOps – what we call DevTestOps – yields an ROI you won’t want to ignore.

As businesses start to re-open and organizations begin to bring employees back to their places of work, there will be new challenges — some known, and some unexpected. But employee wellness will be top of mind, and having workers maintain social distancing and still be able to collaborate is among them.
Traditional spreadsheets make version control hard, and managers who’ll need to set up schedules if only half the staff can be in the office at one time will need applications produced quickly to meet those challenges. Low-code software solutions can help businesses quickly evolve their operations to create safe, effective and collaborative ways to work.
Listen as SD Times and QuickBase discuss how low-code tooling can make your return to the office a smooth one.
Many developers and IT professionals have been working from home for a long time, yet even more have only recently begun to do so. The speed with which organizations have had to shift to accommodate the new home workforce raises issues for both.
Organizations worry about ensuring security on devices and applications — and even employees — out of their control, while workers worry about how they’re using their time, if they’re being effective, how to best collaborate with their peers, and more. They’re questioning themselves, with health becoming an important part of the work/life equation.
Listen as we discuss why quarantine work is NOT the new normal and how both organizations and workers can navigate these times securely and healthily. Specifically, our panelists will discuss ways to:
· Help teams ‘stay in the zone’ while working within their development toolchain and environment
· Design developer training programs that specifically meet security and compliance requirements
· Thrive in this uncertain environment through relevant and customized training at the speed of DevSecOps

The introduction of the latest technology – such as AI and machine learning – can be seen as a way for organizations to accelerate growth, increase efficiency, and improve customer service. However, the truth is that the technology alone will do little to deliver on these business outcomes. AI for IT operations (AIOPs) is one area where the application of technology, if not matched with organizational maturity readiness, will fail to deliver all the promised benefits.
This report looks at the operational maturity of organizations and matches the technology to that level. Only by ensuring that technology, people, and processes are aligned can an organization see any new technology become transformative and deliver real business value.

DevOps has transformed the way businesses think and software development teams work, but the power of DevOps is still limited. Testing still stands in the way of achieving true DevOps and continuous delivery. It is a time-consuming process that requires many moving parts to happen in the right way, and many questions to be asked upfront. Luckily, there are some ways teams can start to break down the barriers of testing in DevOps.
Even systems like Kubernetes need to be tested to verify that they can handle turbulent production conditions. By thoughtfully injecting failure into Kubernetes, engineers can identify bugs before migrating a new service over and ensure successful launches and the stable ongoing performance of their application. This reduces time fighting fires so teams can ship more code, faster.

Serverless functions are becoming a bigger part of microservices applications in today’s modern software architectures, helping organizations gain flexibility and substantially cut compute costs. But are those applications performing well to deliver business value? It’s hard to know, because nothing about serverless fits the model of how application performance monitoring works. Today’s tools don’t work well in the serverless world, when a function executes and is gone before its performance can even be observed. Tracing stateless requests with no runtime is extremely difficult.
IT organizations understand the benefits of serverless, but they are scared to manage it. In this webinar, David Rubinstein, editor-in-chief of SD Times, Chris Farrell, technical director and APM strategist at Instana and Drew Flowers, Solution Architect at Instana, dive into the challenges of monitoring serverless functions and talk about ways to gain production-level visibility into these applications.
