Data's critical role in business operations has intensified the need for reliable information management. As companies increasingly base their decisions and growth strategies on data-driven insights, maintaining high-quality datasets has become essential. Data observability offers a novel approach, transforming how organizations comprehend and maintain their information assets.

OpenTelemetry has quickly become a must-have tool in the DevOps toolkit. It helps us understand how our applications are performing and how our systems are behaving. As more and more organizations move to cloud-native architectures and microservices, it's super important to have great monitoring and tracing in place. OpenTelemetry provides a strong and flexible framework for capturing data that helps DevOps engineers keep our systems running smoothly and efficiently.

Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) teams play a very important role in ensuring that digital services remain operational. However, at times, they can face certain incidents and outages, which are inevitable for any complex system. During these disruptions, it is important to respond quickly and efficiently to reduce the impact on the organization and its users. This is where Slack War Rooms come into the picture. When an outage strikes, the clock starts ticking.

In a world where businesses operate globally, managing DNS queries across multiple regions can be complex. When clients from various locations send queries for a domain, those queries must be routed to the most appropriate DNS host. Factors such as the client’s geolocation, IP address, and network type play a crucial role in ensuring traffic is directed to the right place for better performance. DNS filters provide the criteria for routing traffic efficiently.

Imagine you’re a detective trying to solve a crime, but all the evidence is invisible. Sounds impossible, right? That’s exactly what it’s like trying to debug a Java application without proper logging. Java logging is your magnifying glass, your fingerprint kit, and your trusty notepad all rolled into one. It’s the unsung hero that helps you understand what’s going on under the hood of your application. But logging isn’t just about catching bugs.

Great news, Laravel friends! You can now monitor the performance of your Laravel apps with Honeybadger. Yes, you read that right: Laravel performance monitoring in Honeybadger! Many of you have asked for this, and we're excited to tell you about it. Earlier this year, we launched Honeybadger Insights, a new logging and performance monitoring tool bundled with Honeybadger.

As organizations in the public sector continue to undergo what Deloitte has called a “radical transformation” and embrace new, innovative technologies, they’re seeing improvements in everything from agility to customer experience. And, the good news is that innovation tends to breed more innovation, meaning the digital transformation of the last two decades laid the groundwork for the widespread use of artificial intelligence (AI).

Serverless is an incredible paradigm, but performance tuning sometimes feels like a black box. You have no control over the infrastructure, but that doesn’t mean you can’t optimize. In this post, let’s look at five ways to take serverless performance to the next level.

Mainframes are the workhorses of many enterprise systems, known for their reliability and ability to handle high transaction volumes. However, as technology evolves, even these robust systems need upgrades to keep up with modern demands. A smooth mainframe upgrade isn’t just about upgrading the core system; it’s also about ensuring that the surrounding infrastructure, including messaging systems like IBM MQ, functions seamlessly during and after the upgrade.

Automating the monitoring process for a huge amount of servers, virtual machines, applications, services, private and public clouds is a main driver for users when they decide to use Icinga. In fact, monitoring large environments is not a new demand for us at all. We experienced this challenge in tandem with many corporations for many years.
