Sentry Application Monitoring for Next.js

As you could probably tell from the title, we shipped an SDK for Next.js. This means you can capture errors, measure performance, manage releases, configure suspect commits, and automatically upload sourcemaps to view unminified JavaScript and TypeScript with zero(-ish) configuration. Why was Next.js next on our list? Well, it’s one of the fastest-growing React frameworks and developers love it.

Automated Falco rule tuning

We recently released the automated Falco rule tuning feature in Sysdig Secure. Out-of-the-box security rules are a double-edged sword. On one side, they allow you to get started right away. On the other, it can take many working hours to learn the technology, configuration, and syntax to be able to customize the rules to fit your applications. Falco’s default security rules are no different.

Grafana Tempo is now GA with the release of v1.0

It’s exciting to see a project that you’ve poured so much time into progress at the rate Tempo has. Tempo is not the first piece of software I have shepherded from the very first line of code to a production release, but it is the first large-scale open source project I have led. Working with a community that is able to use and improve your software as a community is a powerful thing.

HTTP(S) Check Upgrade | HTTP(S) Monitoring Improvements from Uptime.com

Our bread and butter is checking for uptime, and we always recommend users begin their monitoring with the HTTP(S) check.

Elastic beats Beats Users with a Breaking Change

Last week Elastic.co started locking down its Beats OSS shippers such that they will not be able to send data to Elasticsearch 7.10 or earlier open source distros, or Non-Elastic distros of Elasticsearch. If you weren’t watching closely this might have slipped under your radar. Embedded within the Beats 7.13 minor release that was published over the weekend, a release note advised of a breaking change in which “Beats may not be sending data to some distributions of Elasticsearch”.

Seeing Civo featured by Forbes makes all the hard work worthwhile!

Yesterday, my morning started much like most Tuesday mornings do for me... my kids (6 and 4) were up way too early again at around 6am! Both were demanding I play with them before they head to school. I did my usual and said "give me five minutes" as I tried to wake up after another night of going to sleep after midnight... one day I should really learn to go to bed earlier, now that I have kids! But this morning was different. I started to wake from my dazed state and reached for my phone.
