How can you achieve developer-first observability in a #microservices world? The familiar metrics and logs are no longer sufficient to understand and troubleshoot performance issues and errors. Read more about it here: bit.ly/3ptaRZ9 Forbes

DevEx and dev productivity go hand in hand and improving both is a goal for all dev organizations. A recent study offers a practical framework for understanding and measuring DevEx and productivity. We especially relate to the ‘cognitive load’ aspect. bit.ly/3r4bx7K

Moving to microservices or not, that's the question. Here’s how to decide: ✅ Scalability and flexibility critical? ✅ Is dev team familiar w/microservices? ✅ Can the app be easily separated to small functioning components? ✅ Can the team be easily split, to own each component?

Scaling #microservices offers many benefits but also introduces some new complexities. Naturally, a rich ecosystem of tools has evolved to facilitate and deal with these challenges. It’s all in here: bit.ly/3pgE6OV
