We all know that a website’s performance can make or break your business. Whether you’re running an e-commerce store, SaaS platform, or content-rich website, ensuring that your site is always up, and running is non-negotiable. A single instance of downtime can result in lost revenue, decreased customer trust, and a tarnished reputation. Website monitoring tools are essential for proactively identifying issues, ensuring optimal performance, and providing a seamless experience for your users.

This post was written by David Chang, Staff Software Engineer at Pinterest, and originally posted on the Pinterest engineering blog on Medium. Develocity, formerly known as Gradle Enterprise, is a powerful tool that speeds up local and CI build time, helps troubleshoot your builds, and analyzes your data. At Pinterest, we have a dedicated team, Mobile Builds, and we ensure that developers can build fast and often. This enables developers to be more productive by getting faster feedback on their code.

Monitoring is personal. Different systems, workloads, and use-cases mean different charts matter to different users. Netdata now makes it easier than ever to customize your experience by letting you favorite charts you care about most.

Observability refers to the ability of the DevOps team to track, monitor, and measure the state of their pipeline and operations. Without observability, you are working in the dark, unaware of what is working. With the growing complexity of modern IT systems, DevOps observability is no longer optional. Gartner estimates that by 2026, 50% of enterprises implementing distributed data architectures will have adopted data observability tools, up from less than 20% in 2024.

At FireHydrant, we believe that what happens after incidents is just as important as what happens during – and that’s why Retrospectives have always been a cornerstone of our product. Today, we’re proud to introduce the most powerful, customizable, and collaborative retrospective experience you’ll find anywhere.

Slow database queries drag down performance for both developers and users. They waste resources, slow down testing, and frustrate customers with laggy experiences. But often, there’s a surprisingly simple fix: indexing. Here’s how indexing works and when to use it, regardless of your schema.

So you’re an MSP supporting tens, hundreds or maybe even thousands of clients. Then there’s a good chance that you’re offering services for more than one cloud vendor. You may even have clients who are Multi-Cloud (using more than one cloud vendor).

After my last post about responsible AI practices, some people rightfully inquired about Zebra’s practices. So, I thought it would be best to answer these questions publicly. The first thing I want to stress is that our underlying Code of Conduct, company policies, and departmental procedures provide the foundation for everything we do at Zebra.

The handoff between IT operations (ITOps) and incident management is often chaotic. NOC operators receive an overwhelming deluge of noisy low-priority alerts, which prevents them from detecting actionable, important alerts. This delay causes tickets to pile up, SLAs breached, and unnecessary assignments and escalations to L2 and L3 engineers. Concurrently, L1 analysts react to user-initiated tickets with little to zero context, forcing them to escalate the issues.

Managing modern IT environments is becoming more complex and fragmented as organizations rely on a broader range of applications and services, including cloud, hybrid infrastructure, microservices, and legacy systems. This complexity and velocity surpass human capacity and old processes, making it challenging for IT teams to respond efficiently to incidents.
