In this "Tales From The Road" story by Michael Read, Senior Consultant at Lightbend, we take a look at achieving operational visibility into the difficult-to-monitor area of asynchronous microservices communication.

In this webinar, Lightbend’s Senior Product Director, Craig Blitz reviews five early challenges enterprises face when building streaming and Fast Data systems, what to consider and how Lightbend aims to make these choices more straightforward with our upcoming Fast Data Platform.

Lightbend and Datadog are excited to announce the official Datadog integration for Akka, enabling Datadog users building Akka-based Reactive applications to gain real-time insights into their applications for ensuring the health, availability and performance of their systems.

In this new white paper, we outline the functions a modern monitoring solution must perform in order to truly benefit from the advantages promised by Fast Data and streaming applications.

In this Lightbend webinar, we present what to look for in an effective monitoring solution for streaming and Fast Data applications, including a demo of Lightbend Monitoring using sample scenarios to show how we can help your team not just in production, but also during development to catch performance issues before you even deploy.

I’m Alan Ngai, former CTO of OpsClarity, and now VP of Cloud Services at Lightbend. I wanted to take this opportunity to share of my thoughts about our recent acquisition by Lightbend, as announced last Wednesday.

Almost every current monitoring tool relies on a stack frame-based approach where using the stack trace can provide good answers to what caused exceptional states. In asynchronous, message-driven distributed applications, this approach no longer provides any useful information about issues because the path to where you are is no longer available and you don’t know where your code will execute...

Were you able to attend our latest webinar? If not, here's your chance to catch our educational go-to guy get excited about the lastest in our Reactive Platform. Typesafe’s Senior Director of Global Services, Jamie Allen, walks you through Reactive Platform 1.0, with added features for more elasticity and resilience to address the challenges of today's main business requirements.

In September we launched our Reactive Monitoring Beta! This webinar will help you get started if you want to be a new participant, or can answer some of your questions if you're already trying it out. Typesafe's Henrik Engström along with Takipi's Tal Weiss give a comprehensive walk-through, and will answer questions like,  Reactive Monitoring wut? Also, Why Takipi? And, Is this the whatzit that will help me with lost threads on my async apps? The experts behind Akka, Play and Scala know what it takes to monitor Reactive systems, and we'll show you how. 

Reactive Monitoring 1.0 Beta provides the expert instrumentation you need to effectively visualize, track and fix your Reactive applications. We understand that current available monitoring solutions give limited insight into the health, performance, and inner workings of your Reactive applications. Whether it's the inflexibility of configuration, high performance overhead, or simply lower capabilities when it comes to metrics, events, traces and thresholds for actors, what's needed is a solution by the experts behind Akka, Play and Scala.
