It's Friday afternoon and you decide to check on your web logs one last time before you go out for the weekend. Since you've deployed recently, you want to make sure everything is going smoothly. You open your tool and suddenly you find your screen flooded with TypeErrors. Does this sound familiar? JavaScript TypeError is one of the most common browser errors because it wraps a number of different situations, each of which needs to be handled separately.

At KubeCon San Diego, I presented an updated and revised version of my talk “Blazin’ Fast PromQL”. In this blog post I’ll give you a brief write up of the talk and steps to reproduce the results yourself.

LogicMonitor recently released 15+ new DataSources and 2 PropertySources for Oracle Database monitoring. This release is our most extensive update to the Oracle platform yet. With this update, we include support for multi-database configurations and containerization.

It's been a busy year at Rollbar! While many of the new features we built got all the needed attention (press, blog posts, conferences), the underlying work to transform and modernize our platform might have been less visible. With this blog post I'd like to share with you all the exciting initiatives we launched in this past year and recognize all the deserved credit for all the engineers that worked restlessly to get us where we proudly are today.

Two months in one! We’re wrapping things up for the year, but wanted to give you all an update on all the great things we’ve shipped in the closing of 2019.

If you’ve visited the SolarWinds® Papertrail™ event viewer this week, you may have noticed it’s roomier. There’s less scrolling needed and more of the log line appears on the screen. You may be wondering what changed. Based on suggestions from user feedback, we streamlined the navigation and tucked it into the top bar. This change lets the logs message fill the entire screen width and lets you see more of the log message, with less scrolling.

The difference between machine learning for business and machine learning for consumers is that for business applications, you must deal with requirements that casual users won’t encounter.

Writing software is hard. Balancing the demands of shipping with assuring quality presents challenges. Also, you must have an eye on keeping code readable and maintainable. It’s not easy. Beyond mere development, maintaining a running application is still harder. Serving users requires responding to problems in a timely fashion. In order to respond to problems, you need to know they exist. In short: writing software is hard; running software is often harder. And that’s why we monitor.
