An Observability Guide From Someone with a Precarious Grasp on the Topic

I’m Phillip, a product manager here at Honeycomb. After eleven-ish months of working on our product, I totally understand observability, right? ...Kinda? Sorta? Maybe? I'm not sure—but, I have been sitting in this space long enough to be a little better than clueless. Here's my guide on the topic. I hope it helps, especially if you’re passionate about exploring alternative ways you or your team can manage today’s cloud-native applications.

Developing a pipeline-builds logging system with CircleCI webhooks and Airtable Automations

Ever since CircleCI introduced webhooks, I have been excited about the possibilities this new way of integration opens up to developers. I decided to try out one of the use cases described in the webhooks documentation. This use case involves transmitting information about build-pipeline workflows into an Airtable database. The data piped into Airtable forms a log for you to monitor your workflows and you can go as far as designing graphs and other visualizations to analyze the build data.

Launching my own SaaS

I love what we are building here at Shipa, and I couldn’t be more proud of all the great things the team is constantly delivering, but one thing I like is having personal projects. These help me keep up to date with technology and learn new things. I try to keep the investment in those projects at a minimum and under control. That goes across both the timing and the resources invested. My most recent project is related to the experience when defining cloud-native applications.

Introduction to Cloud-native Monitoring and Observability - Civo

Our applications and infrastructure provide us with vast amounts of data about their performance. To gain control over this amount of data, we must process it to be useful information. This information can offer you insights into where your application could be performing better, with more efficiency, or with fewer errors. Your insights can only be as good as the data you gather and how you organize it. More is not (always) better - this is where observability comes in.
