Jira GitHub Integration: The Complete Guide

Most teams use Jira to plan work and GitHub to build it. The problem is those two tools don’t talk to each other by default. Developers end up manually copying commit references into tickets, project managers hunt through GitHub to answer basic status questions, and sprint reviews become archaeology expeditions through two disconnected systems. Git Integration for Jira closes that gap.

Zero-config Go heap profiling

Coroot's node-agent already collects CPU profiles for any process on the node using eBPF, with zero integration from the application side. For Java, we dynamically inject async-profiler into the JVM to get memory and lock profiles. But Go processes were still a blind spot for non-CPU profiling unless the app exposed a pprof endpoint and the cluster-agent scraped it. We wanted the same zero-config experience for Go heap profiles. This post is about how we got there.

Not All Telemetry Requires Premium Pricing

Observability in software is often framed as a choice between self-hosted and SaaS: manage it yourself, or pay a vendor to handle your data. Both self-hosted and SaaS approaches have their merits, but assuming you must choose one exclusively over the other leads to poor trade-offs: either overcommitting to an all-in-one SaaS despite spiraling costs, or fully self-hosting when it’s unnecessary.

Azure Monitor Collector: Monitor Your Entire Azure Infrastructure From Netdata

If you’re running infrastructure on Azure, you’ve probably dealt with the split between your Azure-native monitoring and the rest of your stack. Your VMs, databases, and Kubernetes clusters generate platform metrics through Azure Monitor, but those metrics live in a separate world from the OS-level, application, and on-prem metrics you’re already watching in Netdata.

N+1 Queries in Rails: A Guide to Detection and Prevention

N+1 queries are the most common performance problem in Rails applications. ActiveRecord’s lazy loading means every belongs_to, has_many, and has_one association is a potential N+1 waiting to happen. The good news is that Rails gives you multiple ways to fix them, and tools like Scout can find them automatically. This guide covers everything a Rails developer needs to know about N+1 queries: what they are, how to fix them, how to prevent them in CI, and how to detect them in production.

Two years without cookies on the site, here's where we ended up

In January 2024, I wrote about removing all advertising cookies and user tracking from sentry.io. It was eight months into the decision at the time, and we were still figuring out what broke and what surprised us. That post struck a nerve: it became one of the most-read things we’ve ever published, probably because everyone building or running a product on the web was watching the same cookie deprecation timeline and wondering what would actually happen if someone just ripped the bandaid off.

The Classic "Buy The Rumor, Sell The News" Just Doesn't Cut It In Today's Crypto Market

Very few people remember Bitcoin in its early days. Back then, the top cryptocurrency lived in a gray area between technological/ideological experimentation and mainstream finance, and the market reacted recklessly to headlines and the occasional influential voices. This volatility was, and remains, a hallmark of the blockchain space, fueled by thin liquidity, speculative trading, and fast-changing market sentiment. Bitcoin underperformed against stocks and precious metals in 2025, but its price swings became much more moderate.

7 Email Marketing Software Platforms that Look Promising in 2026

Email is still the channel most marketers can count on for ROI, but the definition of "email software" has stretched far beyond a plain delivery tool. In 2026, automation, real-time engagement data, privacy regulation, and AI content generation have raised the bar. With hundreds of vendors crowding the landscape, choosing the best email marketing service for next quarter, let alone the next three years, feels like picking stocks.

Cloud-Powered Content Creation for YouTube Success

In today's business environment, video has moved well beyond its role as a supplementary marketing asset. For a growing number of organizations, YouTube now functions as a primary channel for audience engagement, brand development, and lead generation. As the platform has matured, demands on production quality, output frequency, and cross-team coordination have grown in parallel, and traditional, hardware-intensive workflows are increasingly struggling to keep pace. The shift toward cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions reflects something deeper than a passing trend.

Best Practices for a Smooth ERP System Implementation Experience

ERP system implementation requires precise coordination between planning, data handling, and system configuration. Each stage must follow a defined structure to prevent delays and maintain operational accuracy. Clear timelines, assigned responsibilities, and validated processes help ensure that deployment progresses without disruption.
