Better Stack: A New DevOps Experience with Juraj Masar

Jul 15, 2021 by SED

DevOps has shortened the development life cycle for countless applications and is embraced by companies around the world. But managing and monitoring multiple environments is still a major pain point, particularly when companies need to mix cloud and legacy systems. Knowing when services go down and quickly pinpointing the cause is essential for continuous development.

The company Better Stack provides services for DevOps teams. Their first service, Logtail, provides SQL-compatible structured log management. Query logs like you query a database. Their second service, Better Uptime, is an infrastructure monitoring platform that monitors uptime and, when issues occur, sends voice calls, SMS, and plenty other types of alerts with screenshots and error logs of the incident.

Juraj Masar, Co-Founder and CEO at Better Stack, joins us to discuss DevOps and Better Stack.
