Why Our Google Cloud Partnership Signals the Future of Cloud-Native Security Operations

When we decided to join Google Cloud Partner Advantage, it wasn't just about expanding our reach or checking a partnership box. It represents our belief that the future of enterprise security operations is fundamentally cloud-native—and that belief is driving how we think about solving the data crisis facing security teams today. The announcement comes at a critical inflection point.

PHP Monitoring Best Practices for Developers, DevOps, and SREs

In 2025, PHP still powers over 75% of the web from ecommerce platforms like Magento to CMSs like WordPress and Laravel-powered web apps. As user expectations rise and digital experiences become mission-critical, real-time PHP monitoring has moved from a luxury to a necessity. According to Statista, PHP continues to rank in the top 10 most-used programming languages globally. Despite the popularity of modern stacks, legacy and modern PHP coexist in thousands of production environments.

Perform Distributed Tracing for your MCP system with OpenTelemetry

2025 has truly been the year of Agentic AI, with MCP (Model Context Protocol) emerging as one of its flashy and most talked-about innovations. While many products have seamlessly integrated MCP servers into their systems, these servers are increasingly being labelled as black boxes, opaque components that handle critical tasks but offer little visibility into what’s happening under the hood. We prompt an agent, a tool gets invoked, and a response is generated. But what really happens in between? And when something breaks, how do we trace the failure and debug it effectively?

Enhanced monitoring of Amazon EKS with Elastic add-on capabilities

Easily enable Elastic add-on within the Amazon EKS Console for streamlined monitoring and quick data onboarding. Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) makes running Kubernetes on AWS simple and scalable. But as your workloads grow, so does the need for robust monitoring and observability. Enter Elastic Agent, a powerful, unified way to collect logs, metrics, and security data from your EKS clusters, all managed through Elastic Fleet.

Status Page Aggregator: Best Practices and Use Cases

A status page aggregator is a powerful tool that brings together the status updates of multiple cloud services, SaaS providers, and third-party services into a single, unified view. Whether you’re tracking the health of critical dependencies like AWS, Cloudflare, or niche SaaS tools your teams rely on, a status page aggregator simplifies monitoring and helps you stay ahead of outages.

When Will We See the First $1 Billion Company Run by a Single Individual?

It’s only a matter of time. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in 2024 that he thought this could be achieved by the end of 2026. Personally, I feel this is a little optimistic; however, based on the evidence I’ve seen, it won’t be long after that. Consider Telegram: a global messaging giant with just 30 employees, already achieving a remarkable $1 billion in revenue. Or Midjourney, revolutionizing creative industries with only 40 employees and generating an impressive $500 million.

Can Claude Code Observe Its Own Code?

One of the great things about OpenTelemetry is that it’s a standard, and standards tend to proliferate. I was excited to see Claude Code add OpenTelemetry metric and log support in a recent release. What was really interesting—beyond the ability to capture usage data from Claude Code—is that you can also get pretty detailed logs about what you’re doing with Claude Code.

The Dos and Don'ts of Successful Software Rollouts

Launching new enterprise software is one of the most strategic—but risk-laden—internal initiatives any organization can undertake. Done right, it accelerates transformation, streamlines operations, and boosts employee productivity. Done wrong, it can paralyze teams, spike IT tickets, and erode employee trust in the tools they’re given and the teams that support them.
