We recently added the User Feedback Widget to the Sentry platform, and now we are releasing two additional features to the product to help developers get deeper context into bug reports without being inundated with them: user-generated screenshots and automatic spam detection.

Logging is essential in Node.js for tracking errors, monitoring performance, and debugging issues. Traditional node.js logging methods, like using console.log(), are often insufficient due to unstructured, cluttered logs that are hard to read. They lack features like log levels, proper formatting, and efficient storage management. Best practices for logging ensure logs are useful, structured, and manageable. Implementing these best practices is crucial for several reasons.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of cybersecurity, AI-powered attackers are becoming increasingly sophisticated. To counter these threats, organizations must adopt advanced security technologies that leverage AI technology as part of a multi-layered approach to security.

In 2020, we introduced the Snowflake Enterprise data source plugin for Grafana, allowing users to seamlessly pull data from the Snowflake cloud-based data storage and analytics service into Grafana dashboards. Available for Grafana Enterprise and Grafana Cloud users, it’s a powerful way to not only query and visualize Snowlake data, but to do so alongside other data sources, so you can discover correlations and other meaningful insights within minutes.

Whether they help you tap into external data sources or add a new visualization type to your dashboard, plugins are a powerful way to customize and extend the value of Grafana. There’s a rich (and constantly evolving) ecosystem of Grafana plugins you can choose from today. While some of these plugins are created and maintained by the Grafana Labs team, many of them are contributed by our commercial partners and community members.

Monitoring can get expensive due to the huge quantities of data that need to be processed. In this blog post, you’ll learn the best ways to store and process monitoring metrics to reduce your costs, and how VictoriaMetrics can help. This blog post will only cover open-source solutions. VictoriaMetrics is proudly open source. You’ll get the most out of this blog post if you are familiar with Prometheus, Thanos, Mimir or VictoriaMetrics.

As Kubernetes celebrates its 10th anniversary, it’s an opportune moment to reflect on the profound impact Kubernetes has had on the cloud technology landscape. Since its inception, Kubernetes has revolutionized the way we deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications, becoming the de facto orchestration platform for today’s cloud-native ecosystem.
