Non-Abstract Large System Design (NALSD) is an approach where intricate systems are crafted with precision and purpose. It holds particular importance for Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) due to its inherent alignment with the core principles and goals of SRE practices. It improves the reliability of systems, allows for scalable architectures, optimizes performance, encourages fault tolerance, streamlines the processes of monitoring and debugging, and enables efficient incident response.

We discuss the nuances of Federation in Prometheus, address Prometheus Scaling Challenges along with alternatives to Prometheus federation.

Maintaining system reliability amidst a deluge of alerts remains a formidable challenge for complex infrastructure environments. To address this critical need, Squadcast is happy to introduce Intelligent Alert Grouping - designed and developed based on in-depth discussions and feedback from our enterprise customers. This innovative solution is designed to streamline Incident Management, ensuring that Incident Response teams can focus on what truly matters.

If you Google, “What is the shortest, complete sentence in American English?”, then you may get, “I am” as the first answer. However, “Go” is also considered a grammatically correct sentence, and is shorter than, “I am”.

One of the daily challenges for Incident Response teams is the pressure to resolve incidents swiftly and effectively. However, manual processes often hinder this objective, leading to delays, oversight, and potential miscommunication. In this blog, we’ll learn the practical aspects of workflow automation in Incident Management using Squadcast, exploring how it streamlines processes, eliminates manual tasks, and enhances overall efficiency.

Downtime is an unwelcome reality. But, beyond the immediate disruption, outages carry a significant financial burden, impacting revenue, customer satisfaction, and brand reputation. For SREs and IT professionals, understanding the cost of downtime is crucial to mitigating its impact and building a more resilient infrastructure.

If you want to bring down your monitoring costs, you need to shake up a decision paralysis in engineering.

Hold the confetti, everyone, because it's time to POP the champagne! 2023 was a year where Squadcast truly leveled up. We dropped some remarkable features that got our hearts racing (and alerts under control!), snagged some fantastic recognition for our impact, and even gave our website a stunning makeover. And we couldn't have done it without you! Buckle up to get a rewind of everything altogether, Let's get started.
