As organizations adopt more cloud-native technologies, the risk—and consequences—of cyberattacks are also increasing. This rising risk amplifies the need for reliable security solutions that integrate with existing systems. That’s why we’re proud to announce that Dynatrace has joined the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA).

Horizontally scalable data stores like Elasticsearch , Cassandra , and CockroachDB distribute their data across multiple nodes using techniques like consistent hashing. As nodes are added or removed, the data is reshuffled to ensure that the load is spread evenly across the new set of nodes. When deployed on bare-metal clusters or cloud VMs, database administrators are responsible for adding and removing nodes in a clustered system, planning the changes at times of low load to minimize disruptio

By: Rajiv Shringi , Oleksii Tkachuk , Kartik Sathyanarayanan Introduction In our previous blog post, we introduced Netflix’s TimeSeries Abstraction , a distributed service designed to store and query large volumes of temporal event data with low millisecond latencies. Today, we’re excited to present the Distributed Counter Abstraction. This counting service, built on top of the TimeSeries Abstraction, enables distributed counting at scale while maintaining similar low latency performance.

TL;DR Kubernetes was built for stateless apps, but as more stateful applications (like databases) run on it, operators include quite heavy implementations to Kubernetes workload management API (such as StatefulSets) deficits. While creating custom methods allows flexibility and faster time to market, it also leads to inconsistency and complexity.

One popular term encountered in generative AI practice is retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). Reasons for using RAG are clear: large language models (LLMs), which are effectively syntax engines, tend to “hallucinate” by inventing answers from pieces of their training data. The haphazard results may be entertaining, although not quite based in fact.

CPU spikes are one of the most common performance challenges faced by Java applications. While traditional APM (Application Performance Management) tools provide high-level insights into overall CPU usage, they often fall short of identifying the root cause of the spike. APM tools usually can’t pinpoint the exact code paths causing the issue. This is where non-intrusive , thread-level analysis proves to be much more effective.
