Here we are for yet another new release of OctoPerf. We’ve actually released two minor versions since the last update post, but this time we will also release a long awaited feature, Microsoft Azure on demand load generators!
Clive Humby stated, as far back as 2006, “data is the new oil.” The quote really took off following this 2017 report from The Economist. As a former chemical process engineer, oil immediately makes me think of refining it. Today’s analytics platform for the complete data lifecycle does the same for data as the refinery distillation columns does for crude oil: distilling value.
We're happy to announce that we have just launched our improved integration for the Azure Event Hub, allowing DevOps & Security professionals to send log data for analysis easier than ever. This announcement comes as Microsoft’s Azure Event Hub reaches its highest global popularity as a data ingestion service. The integration ensures best-in-class performance across a variety of use cases using Azure.
If you want to jump straight to installing the marketplace extension, you can find it here. Performance issues can quickly turn expensive. Reasons can vary from unexpected traffic surges, pieces of non-performant code acting as bottlenecks, or misconfigured network components. Integrating load- and performance testing into your CI pipeline will allow you to know about performance degradations early, in most cases, even before it has any impact on your users in the production environment.

Making the digital shift has always been of key importance, but even more so in the last few months. As organizations across different verticals navigate a new landscape post-pandemic, it has become critical to reevaluate priorities and strategies for digital adoption.

In today’s enterprise computing landscape, multi-cloud organizations are quickly becoming the norm rather than the exception. By leveraging an API-first strategy with a microservice-based architecture, companies can achieve significant speed to market across multiple clouds. In order to achieve this, container orchestration and a well-designed CI/CD strategy are essential components in this journey.
At the end of 2018, Microsoft stated that Visual Studio 2019 is the last version with load testing features. A few months later they formally announced that Azure load testing is closing down on March 31st, 2020. This announcement came as a bomb to the community. But for those who follow this market, the news was not a complete surprise.
The introduction of AI into products and services – across all sectors – is creating new capabilities at a scale that software developers could never have dreamed of just a decade ago. But this development is not just about the tech.
I love traveling to Barcelona for conferences. Between Gaudi’s architecture and tech architectures, there’s really not much more I can ask for. Walking into Cisco Live!, the first thing I encountered was the huge indoor fountain called the “Rain Wall”, which was built to raise awareness and celebrate Cisco’s Corporate Social Responsibility program.
