In the last year, I've spent many hours writing patches for libuv and Node to collect new metrics. The goal of this was to indirectly infer the state of the application without introducing measurable overhead. I've run a few hundred hours of benchmarks and collected over one million data points to make sure my analysis was correct. Eventually, I plan to write about all aspects of my research, but today we will focus on a metric that has already been added to Node.

We’re pleased to announce that we’ve recently launched our improved audit log feature and have rolled this out to users across all of Logit.io’s operating regions. The audit log is visible on both account and individual Stack level.

Python is not known to be a "fast" programming language.

According to a definition of multitenancy, when an app serves multiple tenants, it means that there are a few groups of users who share common access to the software instance.

AppSignal was built because we were tired of slow and clumsy monitoring setups. Instead, we built monitoring that’s easy yet powerful - an intuitive interface enables you to figure out what’s happening in no time. Today, our team made finding slow events effortless. We’ve fully overhauled our slow events feature, helping developers to quickly find and fix slow queries and API requests.

When choosing between these two popular web API (application programming interface) formats it can be surprisingly difficult to know which one you should select for your infrastructure. Although both Rest (Representational State Transfer) and SOAP(Simple Object Access Protocol) share attributes in common with how they handle HTTP protocols, there are a number of key differences as discussed in this article.

Going into the new year, we had several exciting things in the works: expanding our office space, growing the team, attending and hosting events, and releasing a ton of new features for our users.

It’s no exaggeration to say that today’s internet is built on JavaScript. Around 95% of all websites have been built using the language, according to the latest figures. JavaScript has evolved beyond the client side and is now used to construct entire technology stacks, not to mention support databases like pouchdb and RethinkDB.

Welcome to 2020: the year in which having a business simply can’t happen without having a website. And, in recent years, not just ANY website. Business owners must have THE website: an online virtual space that is so magnificently created and intuitive to use, not to mention flame up emotions we never knew existed that users simply can’t forget. But how do you achieve this in a world with SO MANY WEBSITES without having to spend weeks if not MONTHS creating it?
