How to Improve Uptime and Achieve Root Cause Analysis (with Open Source!)

Jun 4, 2025 By Coroot In Coroot
Observability doesn’t begin and end at telemetry or your ELK stack: most open source or vendor tools require configuration, dashboard customization, and may not actually pinpoint the data you need to mitigate system risks. Coroot was designed to solve the problem of time-consuming root cause analysis: it handles the full observability journey — from collecting telemetry to turning it into actionable insights. We also strongly believe that simple observability should be an innovation everyone can afford to benefit from: which is why our software is open source.

A Developer's Framework for Selecting the Right Tracing Vendor

Jun 4, 2025 By Alexandr Bandurchin In Uptrace
Distributed tracing tracks requests as they flow through microservices, revealing bottlenecks, failures, and performance patterns. Without proper tracing, debugging production issues becomes guesswork—especially in complex architectures with dozens of services. Modern applications generate millions of traces daily. The right vendor helps you extract actionable insights without drowning in data or breaking your budget.

Peacetime Observability: Spotting Risks Before They Become Incidents

Jun 3, 2025 By Nikolay Sivko In Coroot
Most of the time, nothing’s broken. Traffic’s flowing, alerts are quiet, and everything seems fine. That’s peacetime, when no one’s getting paged. Coroot helps in both peacetime and wartime. When things go wrong, it guides you to the root cause fast. But during peacetime, it helps you spot risks early, clean up inefficiencies, and prevent those incidents from happening in the first place.

Why database observability is key to successful cloud data platform adoption

Jun 2, 2025 By John Q. Martin In Redgate
Data is the lifeblood of businesses the world over, from the smallest startup to the largest enterprise. Making sure that it’s available when you need it, secured for authorized use, and recoverable from faults is vital to operating data platforms, no matter where your business is on its cloud journey. This can only be achieved by putting the right data into the hands of the right people, in a timely way, to make the right decisions about how to manage that platform effectively.

Monitoring Backstage with OpenTelemetry:Closing the observability blind spot

Jun 2, 2025 By Elizabeth Mathew In SigNoz
‘One small step for a man, but a huge leap for developers’ — me, when I realised how to observe my Backstage with OpenTelemetry. Backstage is often the “portal” through which we manage all our other systems, but who watches the watcher? Recently, we gave a KubeCon Talk, highlighting that monitoring Backstage itself is critical. When Backstage isn’t observable, it becomes a blind spot in your infrastructure.

Syslog Implementation: Servers, Integration and Best Practices

May 29, 2025 By Alexandr Bandurchin In Uptrace
Syslog is a fundamental protocol for collecting messages and event data from various devices and applications across a network. Think of it as a universal language that allows your servers, routers, firewalls, and software to send their operational insights to a central logging point. Born from Unix systems, Syslog has evolved to become the industry standard, forming the backbone of effective log management and providing a unified view of your infrastructure's activity.
