From speaking with IT professionals, clients, and employees from other network-reliant departments, our team has put together a list of the 10 most asked network performance and network questions to give you a basic understanding of network performance. With many businesses booming, and remote work on the rise, monitoring your business’ network performance has become more important than ever.

As businesses expand and adapt to the digital era, the need for scalable cloud services becomes paramount. Scalability—the ability of a system to handle growing workloads—ensures that enterprises can thrive without hardware constraints. Industry leaders such as Azure and AWS have been at the forefront of this evolution, continuously enhancing their platforms to provide seamless scalability.

Slow-loading assets on your web pages can lead to frustrated users, high bounce rates, and lost conversions. For the vast majority of websites, slow-loading resources will be your main performance bottleneck. There’s no way to get around going through the network for essential resources like JavaScript, CSS, and images — thus, it’s crucial that you can quickly identify and fix your slow-loading assets.

When monitoring sensor data, such as data from a weather station, a home security system, or a home automation assistant, it’s useful to have an alerting system in place, as well. By setting up alerts for sensor data, you can automatically receive notifications when any significant event occurs — whether that’s someone arriving at your front door or a thunderstorm rolling in.

Are you confused by the difference between events, alerts and incidents in IT operations? It’s easy to get mixed up when you’re getting started in IT operations because of these concepts’ overlapping nature and interconnectivity. However, it’s important to know the differences so you can accurately categorize and respond to various IT issues and ensure resources are allocated effectively.

I’m currently working on a small team within Honeycomb where we’re building an ambitious new feature. We’re excited—heck, the whole company is—and even our customers are knocking on our door. The energy is there. With all this excitement, I’ve been thinking about a risk that—if I'm not careful—could severely hinder my team's ability to ship on time, celebrate success, and continue work after launch: burnout.
