Understanding APM and Distributed Tracing in the Observability Stack
To keep modern applications running smoothly, you need more than just basic monitoring. APM (Application Performance Monitoring) gives you a broad overview, tracking metrics like latency, errors, and system health. Distributed Tracing, on the other hand, shows the full journey of each request across services, helping you pinpoint the root cause of slowdowns or failures.
Master Your AWS Cloud Environment With Observability
In many cases, cloud and on-premises environments exist side by side. The only way to maintain visibility into such intricate hybrid ecosystems is with a sophisticated end-to-end observability solution. Here are the key factors in choosing a comprehensive observability solution to help you master your AWS cloud and on-prem environments.
Observability 2.0: Seeing More, Knowing More, Fixing More
The era of scattered monitoring tools and fragmented operational visibility is over. As hybrid and multi-cloud environments have become the norm rather than the exception, traditional observability approaches—siloed metrics, isolated logs, and disconnected traces—can no longer keep pace with the complexity of modern IT infrastructure. Organizations today need more than just monitoring.
Observability Without Tradeoffs: Introducing Powerful New Honeycomb Telemetry Pipeline Features
Every day, enterprise companies generate terabytes of observability data while engineering teams are under pressure to cut costs. One of the easiest ways to reduce observability bills is through sampling: intentionally sending only a representative portion of telemetry data, rather than the full volume, to your observability tool. But turning down the dial is risky.
Grafana Cloud: Manage the AWS Observability app as code with Terraform
Imagine setting up your AWS configuration in Grafana Cloud by hand and clicking through menus. When you only have a few services, it’s not a big deal. But as you add more and more, keeping track of every little change becomes a headache. It’s easy to make mistakes, and before you know it, things can get out of sync and your monitoring becomes unreliable.
Beyond Observability: Why Network Intelligence Will Make Traditional Network Management Obsolete
Kentik CEO and co-founder Avi Freedman explains why observability is not enough in the age of AI.
From dashboard soup to observability lasagna: Building better layers
Let's be honest - observability can suck. Ever feel like you're swimming in dashboard soup? You know the feeling: tons of single-use dashboards, building new ones during every incident only to lose them in the chaos, and spending ages creating visualizations that no one ever looks at again. Even with all the right tools, something still feels off.
