What if cloud systems could self-manage to reduce space and resource utilisation?
DevOps monitoring is the process of tracking and measuring the performance of applications and systems in order to help software development teams identify and resolve potential issues more quickly. This is typically done via a manual or automated DevOps monitoring solution or a collection of continuous monitoring tools that gather data on things like:
• CPU utilisation
• Response times
• Disk space
Based on Humanitec DevOps Benchmarking Study 2023 the vast majority of respondents (over 70%) evaluated their DevOps as low or medium performing teams from technical setup, configuration management and degree of self-service perspectives:
“High performing [organisations] resolve production incidents 168 times faster than their peers, with the median high performer having a mean time to recovery (MTTR) measured in minutes, while the median low performer had an MTTR measured in days. The top two technical practices that enabled fast MTTR were the use of version control by Operations, and having telemetry and proactive monitoring in the production environment.”
Simplifying the product and elevating the brand
The product is aimed at DevOps professionals, its dashboard is built to provide critical data for the technical side of the business and outline financial benefits that the business is gaining in real time by utilising Lucidity.
The operational part of the platform is simple and intuitive, product onboarding is streamlined and supported by a clean interface.
Elevating design and brand experience
The main idea behind UI was to simplify the product and make it easy for the users to grasp the overview, provide a sense of control, trust and transparency. A design system was developed to create a consistent look and feel across the product and website. The strong contrast allows for an easy control and eye tracking of the critical information and is tailored for a technology passionate audience.
Last but not least, product design allowed to elevate the brand and experience.
Importance of proactive monitoring with Lucidity
Proactive monitoring is where Lucidity comes in, but with much greater capabilities of managing cloud systems from disk space utilisation perspective to ensure that applications never run out of space and at the same time companies do not over-renting space and paying unnecessary fees.
Lucidity sits between your cloud storage and applications and creates an unobtrusive intelligence layer on top of any block storage database, application server disks, or Kubernetes.
