Gain Efficiency with a GitOps Workflow

This blog will be the second in a three-part blog series where we explore the benefits of the GitOps practice, how to get the most from GitOps, and how to measure and maintain success. Here is what you can expect from the series: We’ll dive into the practice of GitOps in this blog, defining and understanding what an efficient workflow can produce. Here you’ll put the principles of GitOps into practice, exploring how infrastructure as code (IaC) can help you get more done with fewer resources.

Aligning Business and Engineering Goals with Honeycomb SLOs

Setting clear, measurable goals is essential for any successful team. However, aligning those goals with the technical work can be challenging in the fast-paced world of software engineering. Engineers might focus on reducing latency or improving uptime, while business leaders look at revenue and customer satisfaction. It gets tricky to track the impact between the two to justify when specific engineering initiatives are important, why, and how they impact the bottom line.

The True Cost of Downtime

Lost revenue, project delays, customer frustration, damaged reputation… The immediate consequences of system downtime are profound.
