Stop guessing! Speedscale's Notebook finds anything in your traffic.

Debugging complex microservices just got an upgrade. This video demonstrates Speedscale's innovative Notebook capability, allowing you to perform advanced substring searches and filter production traffic based on deeply nested JSON fields within request and response bodies. Unlike traditional observability tools that only record telemetry, Speedscale's always-on recorder captures full traffic payloads, empowering you to precisely pinpoint issues, identify specific user calls, or validate API versions. Streamline your troubleshooting, enhance your testing, and gain unprecedented visibility into your production environment.

Scaling Online Game Infrastructure for High-Engagement PvM Content

The explosive popularity of player-versus-monster (PvM) content in online games brings significant backend challenges, particularly as titles scale globally. Instanced boss fights, real-time combat logic, and mass player concurrency demand robust, responsive server infrastructure that can scale both horizontally and vertically - without degrading the player experience.

From Wallpaper to Web Servers: How One Immigrant Switched from Walls to DevOps in Just Two Years

He landed in the U.S. with a suitcase, a scraper, and a strong back. No tech degree. No connections. Just a willingness to work and a sense that something bigger might be possible. At first, he did what he knew best - he worked as a wallpaper installer. The job was honest, physical, and surprisingly calming. "There's something meditative about smoothing out bubbles," he says. "But after a while, I realized I wanted to build something that didn't peel off the wall."

How Prometheus 3.0 Fixes Resource Attributes for OTel Metrics

When you export OpenTelemetry metrics to Prometheus, resource fields like service.name or deployment.environment don’t show up as metric labels. Prometheus drops them. To use them in queries, you’d have to join with target_info: This makes filtering and grouping more difficult than necessary. Prometheus 3.0 changes that. It supports resource attribute promotion—automatically converting OpenTelemetry resource fields into Prometheus labels.

OTel Weaver: Consistent Observability with Semantic Conventions

Deploying a new service shouldn’t break dashboards. But it happens, usually because metric names or labels aren’t consistent across teams. You end up with traces that don’t link, metrics that don’t align, and queries that take hours to debug, not because the system is complex, but because the telemetry is fragmented. OTel Weaver addresses this by enforcing OpenTelemetry semantic conventions at the source.

Are Egress Fees Holding Your AI Business Back?

For AI companies, the landscape of cloud computing has always been a balancing act between innovation, costs, and compliance. That’s where Civo comes in.

Introducing parent/child pipelines

We’re excited to announce the launch of parent/child pipelines for Bitbucket Pipelines. This powerful new capability lets you define a step within a pipeline that triggers and encapsulates a whole other pipeline, which can help to streamline more complex workflows into modular pieces and achieve greater parallelism within your pipeline.

Why Cloud-Based DCIM Software Outperforms Legacy Systems

The data center industry’s rapid evolution requires innovative tools to address its ever-changing demands. Cloud-based Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) solutions have emerged as a powerful alternative to traditional on-premise systems, offering unmatched scalability, cost savings, real-time monitoring, and AI-driven insights.
