The Risks and Pitfalls of Too Many Monitoring Tools
If you are like most organizations, your technology environment is a complex mixture of tools needed to run your business. In this environment, monitoring and observability are critical to making sure everything is running smoothly. You use monitoring tools to measure server resources, log-parsing tools for troubleshooting, application tools to observe application performance, and audit-request tools to comply with regulations. While these are all valid observability needs, there are risks to overdoing it by introducing too many tools. Here are some ways to avoid monitoring proliferation when developing your observability strategy.

SaaS Observability Platforms: A Buyer's Guide
Observability is the ability to gather data from metrics, logs, traces, and other sources, and use that data to form a complete picture of a system’s behavior, performance, and health. While monitoring alone was once the go-to approach for managing IT infrastructure, observability goes further, allowing IT teams to detect and understand unexpected or unknown events.
How Do We Cultivate the End User Community Within Cloud-Native Projects?
The open source community talks a lot about the problem of aligning incentives. If you’re not familiar with the discourse, most of this conversation so far has centered around the most classic model of open source: the solo unpaid developer who maintains a tiny but essential library that’s holding up half the internet. For example, Denis Pushkarev, the solo maintainer of popular JavaScript library core-js, announced that he can’t continue if not better compensated.
Platform Engineering Is the Future of Ops
Ops and DevOps roles as we know them are on their way to becoming extinct—the future is platform engineering. While DevOps engineers typically focus on the application layer, platform engineers focus on the underlying infrastructure layer. Without a solid and reliable platform, it can be challenging to deploy and maintain software applications effectively. This can result in downtime, poor performance, and security vulnerabilities. Platform engineering enables software applications and services to run effectively and efficiently and has a direct impact on the user experience and the success of the entire organization.
