While building Sentry, we also use Sentry to identify bugs, performance slowdowns, and issues that worsen our users’ experience. With our focus on keeping developers in their flow as much as possible, that often means identifying, fixing, and improving our integrations with other critical developer tools. Recently, one of our customers reported an issue with our Slack integration that I was able to debug and resolve with the help of our Trace View.

Managing IT operations is becoming more complex with the rapid evolution of IT environments. As a result, leaders are looking for more efficient, intelligent ways to monitor and maintain their IT systems. AIOps has evolved as one of the most promising solutions in recent years. AIOps uses machine learning (ML), big data, and automation to streamline IT operations.

Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) are crucial for the smooth delivery of online services. Their job is to ensure that systems are reliable, available, and efficient. But when things go wrong, they’re the ones who jump into action to fix issues as fast as possible. And with modern systems being as complex as they are, managing service disruptions can be quite a challenge. This is where Slack comes in. It’s more than just a chat tool.

Imagine stepping into the role of a DevOps engineer at an online learning company that utilizes Open edX as its core Learning Management System (LMS). As the platform scales to accommodate more learners, a myriad of challenges begin to surface: These are just the tip of the iceberg. It's pivotal that you provide timely reports on site performance and error tracking in real time, and fix any issues before they affect a significant user base.

Deploy Google Cloud's high-performance, PostgreSQL-compatible database AlloyDB Omni on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, managed by Aiven’s multi-cloud, data infrastructure platform.

New Relic and AppDynamics are leading monitoring and observability tools for monitoring the performance of your applications and network. Both help you keep track of how well your systems are running, but they do it in different ways. New Relic is a great tool for APM, making it versatile for tracking overall system performance. It also features an easy-to-use interface and strong data visualization.

Optimize network performance by ensuring both you and your peers are locally connected. When it comes to Internet Exchanges (IXs), there are two types of peering: local peering and remote peering. And depending on your network setup and goals, the type you use can have a significant impact on your network performance. While remote peering has valuable use cases, we often see customers using it in scenarios where it is actually doing more harm than good to their network performance.

ilert offers over 100 out-of-the-box integrations commonly used in IT operations. From monitoring and observability platforms to ITSM solutions, chat and collaboration apps, fleet management, and IoT tools—these and many others are used daily by engineers worldwide to achieve operational excellence. However, there are also tools outside the developer's usual scope that can prove helpful during incidents.

As ethical hacking continues to grow in importance, professionals require a reliable operating system to assist them in their tasks. A Debian-based distribution, Kali Linux is the go-to OS for ethical hackers and penetration testers. But why has it become the industry standard? This post will explore what makes Kali Linux essential and dive into the key commands every ethical hacker should know.

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) offers a great alternative to Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure. If you use Google Products extensively at work, such as Google Workspace, moving to GCP may be a natural choice. Perhaps you already use GCP with AWS, Azure, or another cloud provider as part of your hybrid cloud strategy. But maybe you struggle to manage GCP costs, monitor security and compliance, and observe performance.
