Reliability impacts every organization, whether you plan for it or not. Leading companies take matters into their own hands and get ahead of incidents by building reliability programs. But since many of these programs are still nascent, how do you know what good looks like? Of course, the right tools and technology that can enable your team to uncover reliability risks before they impact users play an important role. But improving reliability goes beyond technology.

When it comes to managing your database, monitoring is crucial for maintaining data integrity, optimizing performance, and ensuring efficient resource allocation. In today's fast-paced technological landscape, having real-time insights into your database's health is more important than ever. This is where Heroku Postgres and Hosted Graphite come into the picture.

Printers play a crucial role in various industries, helping businesses efficiently manage their document workflows.

In the realm of IT infrastructure monitoring, Nagios has long been a popular choice due to its robust feature set and flexibility. However, even reliable systems can encounter issues, and one recurring problem that Nagios users might encounter is the "Return code of x is out of bounds" error. In this blog post, we'll dive into the details of this error, what causes it, and how it can impact your monitoring efforts.

We have recently added a more detailed anomaly rate chart to Netdata that breaks out the overall node anomaly rate by type, this lets you more easily see what parts of your infrastructure might be experiencing an uptick in anomalies when you see the overall node anomaly rate increase.

Containers and microservices have revolutionized the way applications are deployed on the cloud. Since its launch in 2014, Kubernetes has become a de-facto standard as a container orchestration tool. With traditional approaches of deploying applications in production, developers often release updates or new features all at once, which can lead to issues if there are bugs or other issues that weren’t caught during testing.

We're excited to introduce a new enhancement to help teams build more reliable software: Detected Risks. Available today, Detected Risks helps you find and fix the most common causes of infrastructure outages and incidents in minutes—without running Chaos Engineering experiments or reliability tests.

The colocation data center is a type of service where organizations can rent out space in a data center facility to house their IT infrastructure. These facilities provide the power, cooling, and network connectivity that companies require to operate their servers, storage devices, and applications. Colocation services allow companies to reduce costs and avoid the hassle of building and maintaining their data center facilities.
