In this newsletter, we are going to talk about some of the interesting things about APM industry and also some suggestions on what you can do this month to keep yourself sane.
Dynatrace
It is good to understand what Dynatrace is before getting into it. For now, just know that Dynatrace is currently ranked as world’s no.1 tool for Application performance management. It captured end-to-end data from frontend to backend side and display in its web UI.
Fun fact:
To make sure you land on the right page while typing fast, Dynatrace is also purchased the domain dynatarce.com along with its original domain dynatrace.com.
When we type the name Dynatrace fast, we often end up typing Dynatarce hence our team has made this decision to purchase the other domain too.
DevOps
Trends in DevOps and what will be the future? Here’s what some industry experts say.
#1 DataOps will boom
Senior DevOps Engineer at Rakuten
“DataOps will definitely boom in 2021, and COVID might play a role in it. Due to COVID and WFH situation, consumption of digital content is skyrocket high which demands a new level of automation for self-scaling and self-healing systems to meet the growth and demand.
So far, DevOps are setting up systems for Logging, Monitoring, and Alerting only (ELK/EFK Stacks, Prometheus/Grafana/Alertmanager, and so on) Now, it is high time for DevOps to step up and use available data and metrics to generate valuable insights, learn and apply machine learning models to predict incidents or outages, develop automation which learns itself from the data and forecast capacity to improve budget planning. Many have already started calling MLOps/AIOps to this part.” — Nirav Chotai, Senior DevOps Engineer at Rakuten
#2 GitOps will become a norm
Principal Architect at Macy’s
“A “you build it, you own it” development process requires tools that developers know and understand. GitOps is the name for how DevOps use developer tooling to drive operations.
GitOps is a way to do Continuous Delivery. More specifically, it is an operating model for building Cloud Native applications that unify Deployment, Monitoring, and Management. It works by using Git as a source of truth for declarative infrastructure and applications. Automated CI/CD pipelines roll out changes to your infrastructure when commits are pushed and approved in Git. It also makes use of diff tools to compare the actual production state with what’s under source control and alerts you when there is a divergence.
The ultimate goal of GitOps is to speed up development so that your team can make changes and updates safely and securely to complex applications running in Kubernetes.” — Soumen Sarkar, Principal Architect at Macy’s
#3 There will be more migrations to serverless
Site Reliability Engineering Manager at Lifion by ADP
“2021 will be a year to watch for more migrations to serverless .. if containers and orchestration were Generation Z .. live loads on serverless will be Gen z+ .. pay per use will go to pay only when you use model .. pay per use and pay only when you use may appear the same ..but think of running k8s pod-based microservice to running the same on serverless when you need.” — Shivaramakrishnan G, Site Reliability Engineering Manager at Lifion by ADP

Tech Quotes
Here are the top 2 quotes we think is good for you to start this month with.
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.” — Albert Einstein
“Designing program is very important than coding it. If you don’t know how to build a solution and if you think you are the master of programming then a 6-year old can catch up with your skill” — Vikram Shakya (Dynatrace Architect)
