It sucks to spend a long time building an app then get complaints about slow loading pages. You don’t know which pages the problems occur on, let alone the environment. So, software performance problems stay elusive, and linger on in your app, causing havoc for end users and your bottom line.

We recently raised an additional $16 million in funding from our partners at NEA and Accel. What are we going to do with these additional funds? Great question! For a long time Sentry has had a rigid, singular focus: given an application error, discover everything a developer needs to know about it and inform the team as quickly as possible.

Code Triage is an open source app built to help other open source projects. Popular open source projects receive a lot of bug reports, feature requests, and pull requests every day, and just reading through all of them can be a huge time sink for their maintainers. Here at Skylight, we are involved in a number of popular open source projects ourselves, so we understand this problem pretty well!

We are excited to announce the beta version of our new alerting condition configuration UI. In addition to allowing you to define alerting conditions more precisely, this new UI provides an easier, more visual way to find the metrics to alert on. The new UI lets you use the same metrics selector as used in Stackdriver’s Metrics Explorer to define a broader set of conditions. Starting today, you can use that metrics selector to create and edit threshold conditions for alerting policies.

Flurry Insights pegs the average time that people devote to mobile devices at 5 hours a day.

In the container world of today, two words rule in bliss — Docker and Kubernetes. Two extremely popular platforms used for managing containers that for a beginner at least, may also seem to be competing technologies.

We pride ourselves at OpsGenie for being the most reliable and flexible alert and incident management solution. However, what happens when you simply don’t want notifications? Even with escalations, routing rules, and on-call schedules, you may want extra configuration on when you are notified, and for what types of alerts.

Once your Rails app begins seeing consistent traffic, you're bound to have slow SQL queries. While PostgreSQL and MySQL can log slow queries, it's difficult to gleam actionable information from this raw stream. The slow query logs lack application context: where's the LOC generating the query? Is this slow all of the time, or just some of the time? Which controller-action or background job is the caller? Enter Scout.

In this article, we talk about what you need to know about how APIs affect your business, and what you need to do to safeguard your API or your websites and services with API dependencies. So, if you’re wondering why API monitoring is so important, you’re in the right place. Read on!
