Observability vs Telemetry vs Monitoring - What they are, differences and what lies in future.

Meet Kevin and Mai (again): Navigating the Troublesome Waters of Platform Downtime. Kevin is a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE), constantly on the lookout for potential downtime that could impact their platform, kryptobro.com. Mai is his adept partner, ever-ready to troubleshoot. In their journey, the previous version of Squadcast Status Pages served as a helpful tool, but they soon found room for improvements.

Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) is a term that’s getting attention and gaining momentum – and for a good reason. SRE takes features of software engineering and applies them to various problems in infrastructures and operations. Organizations look to build SRE teams with a couple goals in mind, including to create and increase scalability and develop solid software systems.

Creating just any infrastructure on Kubernetes is not enough. There are so many basic configurations you could apply and create the infrastructure for your application for the time being and it might work just fine. The incident responses won’t always remain 100% reliable. You will run into newer potholes, and that’s okay.

We are excited to share another feature update with all our valued customers! We have recently gone live with our Key Based Deduplication feature, enabling you to define dedup keys using customizable templates for configured alert sources. With this feature, you can automatically group similar incidents and effectively deduplicate alerts.
