Effective database monitoring is essential for maintaining application performance and reliability. This guide explores how to implement OpenTelemetry with PostgreSQL, providing DevOps engineers and Site Reliability Engineers with practical steps for comprehensive database observability.

Amazon EventBridge is a powerful tool for building event-driven architectures. It’s built to connect and simplify real-time data processing and automation across your cloud stack (AWS services, customs apps, and SaaS applications). But when it comes to pricing, things can get a little tricky. Estimating EventBridge costs at scale is often daunting. There are just too many moving parts involved. That’s why in this guide, we’re breaking down what goes into an Amazon EventBridge bill.

Explore how ephemeral environments help development teams scale efficiently. This strategic guide for CTOs covers key benefits, technical insights, and practical steps to boost deployment speed, reduce costs, and streamline testing.

If 2023 was the year AI entered the enterprise conversation and 2024 was the year of AI overhype, 2025 is the year it takes action. “Agentic AI” has quickly become the banner term for next-gen systems that aren’t limited to generating responses—they operate, decide, and resolve. The shift from passive chatbots to autonomous agents is underway, and for IT operations teams, the implications are massive.

Effective monitoring and optimization of an interdependent environment require a coordinated strategy. Through the integration of observability and digital experience monitoring (DEM) platforms, businesses can dismantle silos and obtain a real-time, comprehensive view of their whole digital infrastructure. This comprehensive strategy empowers enterprises to proactively handle problems and optimize the end-to-end digital experience, which also improves performance and risk management.

I was lucky enough to attend KubeCon Europe 2025 in London, where the energy around OpenTelemetry (OTel) reached fever pitch. From packed sessions to buzzing hallway conversations, it’s clear: OpenTelemetry isn’t just the future—it’s the present. Here’s what stole the spotlight.

The 2025 Gartner Market Guide for Event Intelligence Solutions arrives at a critical time for organizations facing increasing complexity in managing IT events. Today’s diverse, distributed IT environments create significant operational challenges – alert fatigue, fragmented tools, and slow incident response – impacting both efficiency and customer experiences.

Modern code profilers gather performance data that is highly useful for developers, but the traditional presentation of that data can be challenging to interpret for engineers who are new to profiling. For the Continuous Profiler team at Datadog, our guiding mission is to make profiling a standard practice for all developers by flattening its learning curve and helping teams quickly gain insights into application performance.

Aiven offers a seamless multi-service cross-cloud experience. When optimizing your infrastructure performance, understanding how services performance can change across clouds can help differentiate your business. This blog details the benchmarking of how PostgreSQL performs on each of our cloud offerings: AWS, GCP, OCI, and Azure.

Blind spots in frontend monitoring can occur when you’re managing complex modern applications. Browser and device variability, user journeys with intricate workflows and multiple touchpoints, and ephemeral frontend components can all create visibility gaps that make it difficult to identify, understand, and resolve the issues impacting user experience.
