Healthcare organizations are increasingly leading the charge in technology adoption, rapidly deploying advanced applications and digital tools to improve patient outcomes and operational efficiency. However, this acceleration is placing unprecedented pressure on existing IT infrastructure. Teams are being asked to support next-generation workloads, such as AI-powered diagnostics and real-time data platforms, on legacy systems, often without the benefit of increased budget or headcount.

We're thrilled to announce that Checkly is now a launch partner in Vercel's Observability Marketplace! This integration makes it easier than ever for Vercel users to monitor their deployments with end-to-end testing and API monitoring powered by Checkly.

Observability has become a cornerstone for maintaining robust and secure networks. A recent article from The New Stack, “Is OTel the Last Observability Agent You’ll Ever Install?” delves into the transformative potential of OpenTelemetry (OTel) in standardizing and simplifying observability practices.

Grafana Cloud Frontend Observability is a real user monitoring (RUM) solution that provides immediate, clear, and actionable insights into the end-user experience of web applications. Understanding where those end users are located can provide valuable insights into frontend performance, error patterns, and overall user experience.

You can’t throw a rock without hitting an online discussion about ‘vibe coding,’ so I figured I’d add some signal to the noise and discuss how I’ve been using AI-driven coding tools with observability platforms like Honeycomb over the past six months. This isn’t an exhaustive guide, and not everything I say is going to be useful to everyone—but hopefully it will clear up some common misconceptions and help folks out.

Finances, strategy, and market expansion are all common CEO concerns. However, CEOs also need to focus on automatic advanced observability across highly dynamic environments. Network observability has become a boardroom discussion point because downtime directly impacts business performance. Observability helps reduce costs and enhance service quality. But what is network observability? Is observability truly necessary if you have a monitoring solution in place?

At Honeycomb, we believe that observability should be accessible, effective, and transformative. That’s why our customer education team is thrilled to introduce Honeycomb Academy, a learning hub designed to help our customers of all experience levels master observability, OpenTelemetry, and the Honeycomb platform.

Can you ever get too much data? With modern architectures getting increasingly more complex with hundreds of microservices and containers, data volume grows at an exponential rate, and there’s no pause in sight. In this era of ever-expanding volume of telemetry, it’s nearly impossible to separate valuable data from noise, making things like root cause analysis or alerting needlessly more complicated, while putting pressure on the performance of your stack, your scalability and budget.
