StatusGator now monitors more than 8,000 services now! From cloud platforms and AI tools to communication apps, payment providers, developer infrastructure, and business software, we continue expanding our monitoring coverage every day so teams can track everything that matters in one place.

At Sentry, we’re obsessed with things not breaking. It’s kind of our whole deal. But for a while, our own marketing site was testing that obsession. Much of what you see on sentry.io (the marketing site, blog, open source microsite, etc.) were running on a fleet of legacy Gatsby sites powered by a traditional headless CMS. On paper, it worked.

Visibility without control is just expensive awareness. Most IT teams can see when something’s wrong, but can’t easily tell who’s affected, why, or what to do next. In other words, they lack real control. In this in‑depth session, LogicMonitor’s Callum Brown and Brandon Delap showed how to move past that.

Autonomous IT shifts enterprises from reactive to proactive operations“By combining AIOps, agentic AI, predictive analytics, and self-healing automation, Autonomous IT helps organizations detect issues early, automate remediation, and prevent downtime before it impacts customers or revenue.

Most network teams monitor uptime. A lot of them track CPU. Almost none of them consistently monitor memory utilization on routers, firewalls, and switches, and that gap causes more unexplained outages and intermittent issues than most people realize.

A new attack technique called Underminr was disclosed this week. It slips past protective DNS by abusing shared CDN edge IPs. The DNS query looks clean. The connection lands on malware. This post walks through what Underminr is, why protective DNS misses it, what actually stops it, and the OTHER DNS layer most teams forget to watch.

Alibaba Cloud is a major cloud provider in APAC, offering industry-leading foundational AI models in addition to compute, managed databases, object storage, and Kubernetes through its Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK). Teams choose Alibaba Cloud for its infrastructure availability across Asia Pacific and its managed services. For SREs and platform engineers, that often means running Alibaba Cloud alongside AWS, Google Cloud, or Microsoft Azure.

Every Kubernetes environment accumulates waste over time. Teams overprovision CPU and memory requests to avoid performance risk, run idle replicas to preserve headroom, and leave Horizontal Pod Autoscalers (HPAs) untouched long after workload behavior has changed. Some of this waste can be addressed at the node level, where Datadog Cluster Autoscaling helps teams rightsize capacity.
