  • Monitoring with Claspin

    Facebook is using heatmaps to monitor its thousands of servers and services. They built their own tool for that, Claspin, and recently explained it a bit: Monitoring cache with Claspin. That’s an awesome approach to proactive monitoring, and very slick UI to present the tribal knowledge about bad values in servers. I wonder if they’re…

  • Hadapt v2 – Adaptive Analytic Platform

    The future is hybrid, kind of like SQL and NoSQL combined. Which is what NoSQL stands for, according to some: Not Only SQL 😉 Hadapt is betting big on hybrid being a requirement for analytic platforms, and Curt Monash nicely sums up the new v2 offering that should be available next quarter.

  • Drunk on Cloud Kool-Aid? Time To Sober Up

    The cloud’s ready, but are you, too? How much does it cost you to rewrite everything to be cloud ready? When a new business starts, it will likely be on all-cloud platforms.
