Open source software development was accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which increased the number of remote work environments. Because of that, businesses required complex solutions for overcoming the barriers created by remote work, and interestingly, organizations hoping to gain a competitive edge and stay up-to-date chose open source technologies. According…

The old ways of monitoring and managing applications have become inefficient due to the rise of cloud applications’ complexity and the sheer amount of processed data. To address this problem, observability comes into play. Observability refers to the ability to understand what is happening inside a system based on the…

Open Source Software (OSS) refers to a computer source code that is publicly available so that anyone can see, modify, and distribute it. OSS development happens in a decentralized and collaborative manner by open source communities. …
