I had the pleasure of producing my first analyst report in one of the hottest categories for GigaOm cloud observability. Here are my thoughts on the research process, the technology space, and the vendors, as well as some advice for IT decision-makers.
For those who have been living under the rock, who have never heard of observability, here’s a helpful excerpt from my report:
Observability is an emerging set of practices, platforms, and tools that goes beyond monitoring to provide insight into the internal state of systems by analyzing external outputs. Monitoring has been a core function of IT for decades, but old approaches have become inadequate for a variety of reasons cloud deployments, agile development methodology, continuous deployments, and new DevOps practices among them. These have changed the way systems, infrastructure, and applications need to be observed so events and incidents can be acted up

Getting Started with Value Stream Management
Value stream management (VSM) has been one of the hottest buzzwords in DevOps over the last few years but what does it actually mean in practice, and how can DevOps professionals implement VSM in a way that helps them achieve more without disrupting their existing pipelines?
I sat down with Siddharth Pareek, Global Practice Lead for DevOps at NatWest Group UK to discuss VSM, why it matters, and what DevOps teams can practically do to start their journey toward using VSM to improve their development process.

Performance Testing with K6
The problem is not that testing is the bottleneck. The problem is that you don’t know what’s in the bottle. That’s a problem that testing addresses. Michael Bolton, author, “Rapid Software Testing.”
You won’t find a lot of engineers out there who say they get excited about testing. Quality assurance (QA) is the kind of unglamorous chore that developers often approach with reluctance like leg day at the gym. But forgive me if I wax enthusiastic about k6, the performance testing package that is the latest addition to my tool belt. K6 is a modern open-source testing tool written in Go. However, it provides JavaScript libraries to write test cases, so engineers and testers can use the k6 libraries to test their APIs and applications.
