Inspired by our own conversations with you at AWS re:Invent 2023, here’s what we think should be on your radar for 2024.

We're excited to announce AppSignal support for Vector logs and metrics! AppSignal's Vector support allows you to expand your monitoring horizons beyond our standard language integrations, making it possible to leverage AppSignal to both monitor the performance and manage the logs of components of your stack that fall outside a standard application. With Vector, you can use AppSignal to monitor how your databases and Kubernetes clusters perform and metrics from many other sources.

Incidents almost never happen in a vacuum. When you receive an alert about a potential issue, odds are pretty good that you’ll need to navigate between different tools and teams to get things resolved. Of course, timing is critical in these situations, so the easier it is to communicate — between both tools and teams — the better off you’ll be.

You probably have seen ads where someone claims that their app can save you money by finding subscriptions you forgot about. I have a hard time imaging someone with $100s of dollars of expenses they forgot about, but I have had the occasional one that was missed. The problem is that people are inefficient when it comes to managing “stuff”. That is why there are so many places to store “stuff”.

As we continue to navigate the ongoing evolution of the observability landscape, Logz.io is constantly striving to provide our customers with the advanced platform capabilities needed to make sense of their increasingly complex environments. Sometimes that means taking a new approach to long-standing practices.

Lumigo is excited to announce its microservice troubleshooting platform now provides developers and DevOps with the power of OpenTelemetry (OTel) with a single click. Lumigo has long been the leading troubleshooting platform for serverless, but now, users can harness its best-in-class debugging and observability platform for all microservices-based environments.

I began working with database customers back in the day with VividCortex until it was purchased by SolarWinds. Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to work with tons of our database solution customers as an account manager and now lead our DPM renewals initiative. In these roles, I’ve helped our customers transition from VividCortex to Database Performance Monitor (DPM) and now migrate into Database Observability.

Before I stumbled into the tech industry (a story for another day), I spent several years in the customer service world as a server and front-of-house manager in restaurants. It was in these jobs that I first honed some critical skills that would later lead me on the path to incident response.
