Deep ecosystem integration with a purpose is a winning play and it’s one that the hyperscalers keep calling over and over.

“Ingest it all, keep everything, find that needle in the haystack,” they exclaimed. “Storage is cheap, analytics are powerful, there’s nothing you can’t

Digital transformation is a real challenge for IT infrastructure & operations (I&O) teams, particularly at some of the world's largest organizations.

Checkmk is a leading tool for Infrastructure and Application Monitoring. Simple configuration, scalable, flexible. Open Source and Enterprise.

Ever since Nutanix, the first virtualized server-storage smashup, dropped out of stealth in 2011, we have been watching with great interest to see if this

Open source approaches will be challenging to implement at the edge. For open source projects to succeed, they require standardization of both software and hardware.

Data is the future for IoT initiatives in the automotive industry as well as many other markets. In order for IoT processes to flourish, companies need a connected data infrastructure.

Moving the already distributed Kafka to the much more distributed cloud can suck up a lot of time and money. Leveraging managed cloud services, however, can help transform your Kafka from high-maintenance to replaceable.

NGINX's Modern Apps Reference Architecture Offers Preconfigured App Deployment.

4 great talks on Legacy Code that I had the pleasure to host. A focus on empathy and getting into complex codebases.

If you build any kind of non trivial system, one of the absolutely best things that you can do for the long term health of your system is to move all signifi...

Listen in on Jane Street’s Ron Minsky as he has conversations with engineers working on everything from clock synchronization to reliable multicast, build systems to reconfigurable hardware. Get a peek at how Jane Street approaches problems, and how those ideas relate to tech more broadly.

At Cloudflare we aim to introduce a new server platform to our edge network every 12 to 18 months or so, to ensure that we keep up with the latest industry technologies and developments.

64-core AMD Epycs win again as upgrade delivers performance boost without slurping more 'leccy

The TOC for the CNCF has accepted OpenTelemetry as an incubating project as part of the effort to simplify instrumentation of software.

In my examination of container images, I discussed container fundamentals, but now it's time to delve deeper into container runtimes so you can understand how container environments are built. The information in this article is in part extracted from the official documentation of the Open Container Initiative (OCI), the open standard for containers, so this information is relevant regardless of your container engine.

The edge exposes need for a development framework with newer data management APIs and novel ways of invoking, slicing and stitching together AI/ML toolchains.

One of the reasons why Intel spent $16.7 billion to acquire FPGA maker Altera six years ago was because it was convinced that its onload model, where big

Observability matters. We need to have a term that encapsulates all of the newer and firmly modern tools and best practices.

Like so many other terms in software engineering, “observability” is a term borrowed from an older physical discipline: in this case, control systems engineering. Observability is the mathematical dual of controllability. “Less formally, this means that one can determine the behavior of the entire system from the system's outputs. If a system is not observable,…

Expect to hear increasing buzz around graph neural network use cases among hyperscalers in the coming year. Behind the scenes, these are already replacing

gRPC is an inter-process communication technology that makes communication between microservices faster and more efficient.

I used to be a Clojure programmer. I've been using it as my main programming language from the first time I took a serious look at it in early 2012 up until the end of 2019, when I decided to check out the competition.I joined a company with a strong static typing culture in what was meant to be a full-time Haskell position.1 For the past three years, I've tried really hard to understand the benefits of static typing and category theory, and, while I've learned a lot, I still tend to fall back to Clojure whenever I contemplate starting a new project. That got me thinking: why?
