Top Kubernetes Monitoring Tools in 2025, And Why Alerting Is Critical for DevOps and SRE Teams

What are the best Kubernetes monitoring tools in 2025? And how can you ensure alerts actually drive action when something goes wrong? Kubernetes monitoring is critical for keeping your containerized applications healthy, but alerting is often overlooked. This blog compares popular tools like Prometheus and Datadog and explains why intelligent alerting solutions like OnPage are essential for effective incident response.

What is a Jitter Buffer and How It Works

If you've ever been on a choppy VoIP call or sat through a video meeting where people sounded like robots from the ‘90s, you’ve likely run into a little thing called jitter. It’s one of those sneaky network issues that doesn’t always get the attention it deserves, until it ruins your real-time traffic. As IT pros and network admins, you're probably used to dealing with packet loss and latency. But jitter? That one's a bit trickier.

A Detailed Look at Calico Cloud Free Tier

As Kubernetes environments grow in scale and complexity, platform teams face increasing pressure to secure workloads without slowing down application delivery. But managing and enforcing network policies in Kubernetes is notoriously difficult—especially when visibility into pod-to-pod communication is limited or nonexistent. Teams are often forced to rely on manual traffic inspection, standalone logs, or trial-and-error policy changes, increasing the risk of misconfiguration and service disruption.

Is AI About to Create Its Own Language? Here's What You Need to Know!

This panel brings together experts Josh Mesout (Civo), Nobel Chowdary Mandepudi (Arm), Jimil Patel (Intuit), Numa Dhamani (iVerify), and James Gress (Accenture) to discuss the cutting edge of AI and machine learning. They explore when AI might develop its own language beyond human syntax, the evolving landscape of ML frameworks such as MLIR, Mojo, and JAX, and the challenges involved in bridging the gap from AI research to production while optimizing models for deployment.

Robust Time Series Monitoring: Anomaly Detection Using Matrix Profile and Prophet

Monitoring production systems often feels like searching for a moving needle in a constantly shifting haystack. At Sentry, our goal was to empower customers to move beyond traditional threshold and percentage-based alerting. We aimed to help them detect subtle and complex anomalies in their systems in near real-time. This post will detail how our AI/ML team developed a time series anomaly detection system using Matrix Profile and Meta’s Prophet.

Understanding CVSS and Scanner Severity Scores in Vulnerability Management #shorts

Understanding CVSS and Scanner Severity Scores in Vulnerability Management Organizations prioritize remediation of exposures using CVSS and scanner severity scores. These scores emphasize severity over actual risk, which is tied to vulnerabilities that are actively exploited. Research shows that CVSS scores can exaggerate the criticality of vulnerabilities, leading to excessive remediation efforts. This misalignment may cause critical vulnerabilities to be rated as medium risk, leaving them unaddressed in organizations that depend solely on CVSS for prioritization.

Rewriting the Same Controls-Over and Over Again? How FINOS and Kosli Are Fixing Software Compliance

Every bank needs to prove it’s compliant. So why is every bank reinventing the same rules? Manual, duplicative compliance across teams Engineers stuck gathering screenshots for audits Custom rules for common risks Missed opportunity to define shared standards Mike joins FINOS Aaron Griswold and explains why Kosli joined FINOS—and how defining shared SDLC controls can help regulated organizations stop wasting time and start delivering software faster and safer. Unpacking the real problems in regulated software delivery.

Dynamic Status Pages on Demand

Clients expect transparency - especially when things go wrong. But manually updating a status page during an incident or maintenance window slows you down when speed matters most. Oh Dear’s status pages are more than just a pretty uptime dashboard. They’re fully API-driven and designed to scale with your workflow. Whether you manage five client sites or five hundred, you can create, update and sync status pages as needed. Here’s how to do it.
