The Guide to Kubernetes Debugging

Apr 30, 2025 By Rox Williams In Honeycomb
Kubernetes is widely used for deploying, scaling, and managing systems and applications and is an industry standard for container orchestration. Google engineers originally developed Kubernetes as an open-source project. Its first release was in September 2014, and since then, it has matured into a graduate project maintained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). With the complexities of scale and distributed systems, debugging in Kubernetes environments can be difficult.

Accelerating Observability Adoption: Why Self-Service Isn't Optional Anymore

Apr 30, 2025 By Mike Simon In Splunk
For observability adoption to scale, you must eliminate the bottlenecks. A self-service approach is the only sustainable model, enabling all teams–not just a select few–to access, implement, and scale observability easily. But making the shift requires more than access: you have to design for it.

Building a Simple Synthetic Monitor With OpenTelemetry

Apr 28, 2025 By Martin Thwaites In Honeycomb
Using server-side telemetry to understand what’s going on inside your system is incredibly valuable, but what about the responsiveness the user actually sees? In this post, I’ll cover what synthetic monitoring is and show an example of how you can create a simple monitor using OpenTelemetry, .NET, and an Azure function. If you only want to see how it’s built, skip ahead to building a synthetic monitor.

How does observability enhance operations in cloud native voice networks?

Apr 24, 2025 By Rich Krizan In Ribbon
The 17th century saw the onset of the Scientific Revolution. It was a time of knowledge explosion. During this time, scientific practices were still evolving, with no universally accepted protocols for data collection and analysis. Individuals documented any observation, resulting in the collection of massive amounts of information, but much of it was hard to leverage to draw useful conclusions. The development of the scientific method provided a common approach to capturing and analyzing data.

The Role of Observability in Modern DevOps Pipelines

The Role of Observability in Modern DevOps Pipelines

Apr 24, 2025 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
DevOps has radically transformed how organizations build and deploy software, enabling faster delivery with greater reliability. Within this transformation, observability has emerged as a critical foundation for success. Unlike traditional monitoring that simply tracks known metrics, observability provides deep visibility into complex systems, allowing teams to understand and troubleshoot issues they couldn't anticipate. This shift represents much more than a technical evolution - it's a fundamental change in how organizations approach system health and performance.

Traces & Spans: Observability Basics You Should Know

Apr 23, 2025 By Anjali Udasi In Last9
In modern software architecture, applications aren't just getting bigger—they're getting more distributed. With microservices, serverless functions, and containers running across multiple environments, understanding what's happening inside your systems can feel like trying to track a single raindrop in a storm. That's where traces and spans come in. These observability tools aren't just buzzwords—they're your secret weapon for making sense of complex distributed systems.
