The Easiest Way to Monitor Ruby: Automatic Instrumentation

Setting up a proper monitoring overview over your application’s performance is a complex task. Normally, you’d first need to figure out what you need to monitor, then instrument your code, and finally make sense of all the data that has been emitted.

What is a Docker Container?

The rapid pace of updates and upgrades to operating systems, software frameworks, libraries, programming language versions – a boon to the future of fast-paced software development, has also come to slightly bite us in the back because of having to manage these very many dependencies with their different versions across different environments.

Infographic: The State of Software Code

We surveyed nearly 1,000 developers across the U.S. to uncover key development trends and insights. Today’s businesses are software businesses. If there was any positive in 2020, it’s the power software has to allow us to continue in some “normal” sense.

DevSecOps is more than a collection of best practices, it’s a shared mindset that security is the responsibility of everyone on your team.

Python Optimization: 3 Easy Steps

Python is one of the best programming resources available for designing machine learning systems. With a variety of technical abilities and potentially time-saving loops and processes, it can be an invaluable tool. However, it’s these capabilities that also make Python difficult to use. In many cases, Python may seem sluggish as it tries to navigate intricate, complicated strings of code.
