Software-Defined Healthcare: Modernizing Through DevOps, Observability & AIOps

Healthcare delivery is undergoing a transformation unlike any other. Digital systems now shape how physicians deliver care, how practices are managed, and how patients experience the health system. From cloud-native platforms to intelligent automation, the shift toward software-defined healthcare is revolutionizing clinical operations. At the heart of this change are three critical enablers: DevOps, Observability, and AIOps. Together, they form the backbone of a modern healthcare IT environment, driving resilience, agility, and patient-centered outcomes.

SvelteKit observability just got 10x better, and we're here for it

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.

Sharpening My React Hooks Knowledge With ChatGPT

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.
