According to The State of Developer Ecosystem 2023 report, which surveyed more than 26,000 developers from around the world, 73% of developers have experienced burnout.

Today, we're announcing the early access program of Honeycomb for Frontend Observability. Honeycomb for Frontend Observability gives teams the ability to quickly identify opportunities for optimization within their web app. This starts with better OpenTelemetry instrumentation, available as an NPM package, that lets you instrument and collect attribution data on Core Web Vitals in under an hour.

The 1981 book Simulacra and Simulation by Jean Baudrillard is widely read and cited within academic circles but also permeates popular culture, influencing films, literature, and art. His theories notably influenced the Wachowski siblings' The Matrix series, bringing some of his ideas into mainstream awareness.

We are excited to announce an integration between ilert and Honeycomb, offering users an enhanced experience in observability and incident management.

At a recent SRE Meetup in Bangalore, we had the pleasure of meeting Akshay Deshpande. During our conversation, Akshay, who manages a Performance/Observability Engineering team at Smarsh discussed his passion for observability and his constant drive to improve the field. Smarsh helps companies gain valuable insights from their communication data, enabling them to proactively identify potential regulatory and reputational risks before they escalate.

I recently had the privilege of attending KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2024 in Paris. The conference, hosted by the Linux Foundation, marked the 10th anniversary of Kubernetes. Here are the key takeaways and highlights from the conference.

What do you need to achieve observability? Who you ask and the role they hold will influence the answer, but the answer likely follows this pattern: “You only need is how you define observability.” I cannot disagree with this logic. A specific use case may only need a specific type of telemetry. Experience and expertise allow engineers to quickly answer questions about a system without expanding into adjacent data types.

As the healthcare industry has introduced more complex IT infrastructure, it now faces many challenges as it strives to deliver high-quality services to patients.
