➰ APIContext's latest insights on cloud-based API performance have been featured on Nordic APIs! In the 2024 report, we delve into crucial aspects affecting API efficiency: 🔐 Authentication is key. Ensuring robust authentication mechanisms in APIs is crucial, yet offloading this function can introduce complex challenges. 📖 DNS configurations matter. How you handle DNS settings can significantly impact API performance, particularly when tied to authentication processes. 🌐 The role of third parties. Critical third-party services play a significant role in 🔗 API transactions, underscoring the need for careful integration and monitoring. ⛅ Not all clouds are created equal. Differences in cloud services can drastically affect API performance, an essential consideration as APIs account for over 80% of all internet traffic. #APIs #CloudComputing #TechInsights #APIContext

#ObservCrew, Anil just stumbled upon Ross Lazerowitz's post on emerging trends. In it Ross envisions an ELK-like stack built on open-source data warehouses. It's a thought-provoking idea, combining ELK's familiarity with modern warehouses' scalability but could our shard friends handle it. While it seems like reinventing the wheel, I wonder if there's untapped potential. What's your take, revolutionary or redundant? 🤔 Would you like to hear Ross's perspective on our podcast? https://lnkd.in/e_Qr9g8p #observability #opensource #innovation

#Confluent Acquires #WarpStream: A Strategic Move in Data Streaming Confluent has made waves by acquiring WarpStream, a startup known for its Kafka-compatible streaming data solutions. This acquisition aims to bolster Confluent's product offerings by introducing a "bring your own cloud" model, which sits between their fully managed Confluent Cloud and self-managed Confluent Platform. As Co-founder and CEO Jay Kreps explains, this model addresses the needs of organizations requiring more control and customization without fully managing everything themselves. This strategic move highlights Confluent's commitment to providing a comprehensive portfolio for diverse data streaming use cases. With WarpStream's expertise in areas like IoT and observability, Confluent is poised to enhance its cloud-native solutions. As the demand for seamless data streaming grows, how will this acquisition impact the landscape of data architecture? #Confluent #WarpStream #DataStreaming #Kafka #CloudComputing #TechAcquisition #Saasverse

Your periodic reminder that containers and k8s are not secure boundaries for isolation. Don't let others run your workflows (especially CI/CD) in containers / kubernetes. At WarpBuild, we've taken extra steps to only run customer workloads in secure, isolated, ephemeral VMs. https://lnkd.in/gCwwZadG

Another things Coroot has improved is FinOps and cost management, now not only it is able to estimate instance costs and costs of overprovisioning resources but also Cross-AZ and Egress traffic, which can be significant part of your costs in the cloud #observability #finops

“An SBOM will evolve as more libraries and software are added to your infrastructure, so automation makes the process much more efficient and reduces the risk of mistakes or oversights.” –Idan Plotnik Apiiro’s CEO was quoted in Security Boulevard’s recent article on SBOMs. Check it out: https://lnkd.in/dXi_ue49. #AppSec #SBOM #DevSecOps #RiskManagement #SoftwareSupplyChain

At #OffsetSymposium2024, and couldn’t agree more with Corey Jaskolski that wide-spread #cloud adoption across #DOD allows startups to scale more broadly, lowers their costs, allows them to move faster, and ultimately delivers more, saving the limited taxpayer dollars we have for #nationaldefense.

Well done #AWS for promptly fixing an S3 billing edge-case! Interesting S3 cost issue in this blog: "How an empty S3 bucket can make your AWS bill explode". In brief: external unauthorised (denied) requests to a new empty S3 bucket were being charged - $1,300 within two days. The author had inadvertently chosen the same bucket name that was the placeholder default configuration in a popular open-source tool!    https://lnkd.in/eNEqedR8 That blog was published on 29th April 2024. On 13th May, AWS fixed this problem: "Amazon S3 will no longer charge for several HTTP error codes". https://lnkd.in/eMXuhhu8 To quote that announcement: "bucket owners will never incur request or bandwidth charges for requests that return an HTTP 403 (Access Denied) error response if initiated from outside their individual AWS account or AWS Organization."
