Welcome to the Bugfender summer newsletter! As we already announced, we achieved a major milestone recently by releasing the Web SDK, bringing the features you love using to a whole new platform. But as always we want to keep pushing to give you a better product, and we’ve introduced recently some more updates we want to share with you: We hope you find all these updates useful!

When something crashes in an app, fixing the bug is usually quite straightforward. But apps can also be blighted by bugs that don’t result in crashes, and this is where things start to get interesting. To find and fix these bugs, you will require as much information as possible and probably a combination of tools. Let me explain a process we know as ‘bug forensics’, based on a real bug that has impacted one of Bugfender’s customers.

When you’re building a website that needs to be updated in real-time, your first thought is probably to add WebSockets to your application. However Websockets is a low-level protocol and to use it, you’ll need to add another layer on top to manage the information you want to get. This is where MQTT is handy, as it’s a higher-level protocol that simplifies working with data streams.

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.

Data visualisations allow users to organise and present log data in a practical, usable, and sensible manner. This tool in log management ensures that the data collected communicates real-time, actionable insights that will support timely and informed decision-making. Knowing which types of visualisation best suits a particular data set is critical in giving data visualisation optimal business value. Here is how to pick the right type of log data visualisation.

We are pleased to announce that all users can now benefit from having their stacks hosted on NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) SSDs.

From dealing with security concerns to production monitoring, businesses need to analyze the log data of their systems to ensure everything is functioning normally. In a computing context, a log refers to automatically produced and time-stamped documentation of events related to a particular system. Analysis of log data helps businesses comply with regulations, security policies and audits, understand online consumer behavior, and comprehend system troubleshoots.

Today, May 21st, we received an interesting email from a journalist writing for Fast Company. Apparently, a privacy-focused company audited the app Care19, North Dakota’s COVID-19 contact tracking app, and they found that an anonymous tracking ID generated by the app was sent via API to Bugfender along with other identifiers. While the journalist contacted the app developers, he also gave us the opportunity to comment.

Here at Lenses.io, we’re focused on making data technologies such as Apache Kafka and Kubernetes as accessible to every organization as possible. It’s part of our DataOps vision and company DNA. Lenses is built by developers, for developers. We understand the headaches they live with and the challenges they face seemingly have to learn a new data technology every few months. We believe that’s just not the right model.
