Raygun APM Agent 3.0.14: faster, simpler, and ready for ARM64

Today we are releasing Raygun APM Agent 3.0.14 for Windows, Linux, and Azure App Service. This release is the result of a substantial modernization of the Agent, profiler, installers, and release pipeline. It makes Raygun APM easier to deploy, reduces overhead in several critical paths, adds native Linux ARM64 support, and lets developers investigate APM data through Raygun API v3 and the Raygun MCP server. If you are upgrading from version 2.3.0, there is much more here than a version-number change.

From Handwritten Mocks to proxymock: The Complete Loop

Handwritten mocks are cheap one at a time. This series built enough of them to show how quickly that stops being true. Nine posts took one package notifier from a function returning "delayed" to a captured response from a real carrier. Along the way, we hand-authored canned successes, failure cases, a spy, a stateful fake, an HTTP server, response fixtures, and contract-drift tests in four languages.

10 Top Website Monitoring Tools for Uptime, Page Speed and Real User Data

Your uptime tool reports the site as available all month. Support reports something else, because customers in one region spent the morning unable to complete a checkout. Both records are accurate, and that is the problem. An external check confirms the page answered. It cannot tell you that the answer took nine seconds for everyone routed through one CDN edge, or what caused the delay.

The pager shouldn't be what starts the investigation

Authored by Greg Janco, Engineering Manager at Mezmo I've always thought there was something backwards about incident response. An alert fires at 3 a.m. PagerDuty does its job. Somebody wakes up, grabs a laptop, connects to the VPN, opens the alert, and then starts answering the same basic questions we ask at the beginning of almost every incident. What changed? What else is broken? Have we seen this before? Some of those need a human eventually. A lot of the first pass doesn't.

Shipped: Self-serve your MCP server credentials

Enterprise agent platforms need a client ID and client secret in hand before they will connect to anything. An admin with the Modify MCP Settings permission can now issue that pair directly in Settings, connect the platform, and manage the credential lifecycle on whatever schedule your security policy requires. No support request, no wait.

Automate Product Analyticsreports with your agent and the CX CLI

Every page view, click, and session your RUM SDK captures lands in Coralogix as a log event under the cx_rum subsystem — the raw data behind how people actually use your product. You can turn it into a shareable report without writing a single query. Just ask your coding agent. Your agent queries that data through the CX CLI and writes the report for you: describe what you want in plain English, get a formatted report back — without leaving the terminal.

The case for preview environments with production data

Before he joined Upsun, Andrew Kester spoiled the biggest sale of a client's year. He was one of two or three web developers at a creative agency that did branding, logos, print, and websites. A design boutique was about to run its annual trunk show, and the discounts and featured brands were meant to stay secret until the reveal on Tuesday at noon. The client asked for a preview. The preview reached production.

Certificate monitoring for your intranet hosts

Certificate monitoring from the cloud only sees what the internet sees, like your public websites. But the vCenter console, the internal API, the switch management page, or that thing on db01.corp.internal are invisible to it. Those certificates expire just like public ones. They just don’t warn anybody first. This gap became very clear when we shipped Private PKI. Now CertKit can issue certificates for internal names and IP addresses, deploy them, and install the root into your trust stores.
