Outsmart Your Quota

A quality pipeline is the lifeblood of every business. If you’re on a customer facing team - sales, customer success, recruiting - building pipeline is your job. Most customer facing teams spend their day in email and their CRM, yet still have to use 3-5 additional applications to get their job done. The context switching, the manual processes, and the clicking on multiple tabs are all distractions that decrease productivity, increase manual error, and affect the team’s ability to build pipeline to close sales, retain customers and recruit key hires. Mixmax enhances, personalizes and automates the communication and manual process associated with building a pipeline.

Disaster preparedness and avoidance handbook

Today’s information-driven organizations depend on the 24/7 availability of their IT infrastructures. Not only are downtime costs enormous, but data integrity is threatened by an ever-growing array of hazards, including power outages, natural disasters, equipment failure, and user error. Additionally, as data centers become more software-defined, they are increasingly vulnerable to software problems and cybersecurity-related catastrophes.

While virtualization of the data center has proven to be revolutionary for IT professionals—providing increased reliability, flexibility, and control, among other benefits—in order to fully realize these advantages, DR processes must also be optimized. This can create some unique challenges as IT professionals must focus their virtualization disaster recovery strategy around backing up and recovering virtual machines (VMs) as opposed to physical servers.

Lyft’s Move to Microservices: A Case Study

Lyft’s consumer mobile app has real­time transactions totaling more than one million rides per day, so performance is critically important. The smallest lapses – even a few milliseconds – contribute to negative customer experiences and lost revenue. As Lyft’s Vice President of Engineering, Pete Morelli, explained, “The bigger you get, the better you have to be. Half an hour of downtime may have cost you five rides early on, now it costs millions of dollars in rides. The level of reliability expected of Lyft is not trivial. People are riding to work or to doctors’ appointments.

Global Microservices Trends Report

The old elements of logging, metrics, and tracing are insufficient for today’s complex software systems. If you’re adopting microservices, you know that faster root cause analysis and the ability to confidently measure and explain performance is key to improve efficiency and save developer time.

Read this report to understand:

  • Countless disconnected time­series statistics aren’t enough to explain the behavior of modern applications.
  • Tools must identify, triage, and explain latency issues, as organizations adopt microservices
  • It’s critical to evolve our thinking about latency measurements and how they play a part in diagnostic workflows.
