Contrary to what you might think, benchmark reports aren’t all science. There is an art to analyzing and telling a compelling story based on these reports.

Normally, you must submit a password in order to log into an application. In the case of two-factor authentication, you must also provide a one-time temporary password (also known as a token) in addition to your regular password. You can get this OTP in a variety of ways. The different varieties of 2FA are determined by how the OTP is provided. The OTP can be sent via email, SMS, as a software token using applications such as Google Authenticator, or as a hardware token.

You now have additional options to filter your existing Google Search Console metrics by a number of dimensions and search types.

Three tech leaders discuss the future of analytics and data architecture — and how to get the most value from them.

KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America is just around the corner. I’ve been looking forward to this event for a long time, especially since 2020 was virtual and it looks like there will be an in person option this year. This should be a great event and there are going to be a ton of awesome sessions. Last year was simply enormous with over 15K attendees who joined virtually.

Over the past few months, I’ve been redesigning and writing StatusCake’s SSL monitoring feature from Node to Go. This blog post describes one of the more subtle challenges we came across to help you master it if you find yourself with it too!

This limits you to just certificates served over HTTPS, when technically anything running TLS can have a certificate.

Customers today expect feature-reach and user-friendly access to technology that makes their lives easier. They expect to use this technology to engage with companies anywhere, anytime, and with any device. Organizations must be able to not just meet, but exceed, these expectations. Failing to do so could result in lost revenue as customers move on to competitors.

Unlike a traditional monolithic approach, in which all components form an inseparable entity, microservices work in synergy to accomplish the same tasks while being separate. Each of these components or processes is a microservice. Granular and lightweight, this type of software development allows a similar process to be used in multiple applications. This is a key element in optimizing application development for a cloud-native model.
