The Svelte Team recently announced full observability and tracing support for SvelteKit! This is great news for SvelteKit and Sentry users, since Sentry is already compatible with the new feature! In addition, this is even greater news for the JavaScript ecosystem as a whole because SvelteKit just became the first ESM-based meta-framework to support instrumentation and tracing out of the box.

I’m a product engineer at Honeycomb. While my work spans the stack, I’m currently focused on deepening my frontend expertise. To support this, I’ve been using ChatGPT as a study assistant. It’s helped me break down complex topics with clear explanations, real-world examples, and—critically—interactive practice. The most effective formats I’ve found.

Your application is only as reliable as the infrastructure it runs on. Most commonly, that means Kubernetes is doing the job by managing fleets of containers, scaling services on demand, and keeping workloads distributed across nodes. Traditional dashboards weren’t built to scale with this reality. They give you snapshots of raw metrics. They don’t scale to multi-cluster environments. They don’t map relationships between resources.

AI coding assistants like Claude Code are becoming core parts of modern development workflows. But as with any powerful tool, the question quickly arises: how do we measure and monitor its usage? Without proper visibility, it’s hard to understand adoption, performance, and the real value Claude brings to engineering teams. For leaders and platform engineers, that lack of observability can mean flying blind when it comes to understanding ROI, productivity gains, or system reliability.

One of the biggest challenges in frontend development is identifying when and why users encounter performance issues, whether it’s slow page loads, JavaScript errors, or failed HTTP requests. With Grafana Cloud Frontend Observability — a hosted service for real user monitoring (RUM) — you get immediate, clear, and actionable insights into the end-user experience of your web applications.
