In the ever-evolving global business landscape, companies are continually seeking new frontiers to expand their operations. Recently, I returned from one of the most thrilling and innovative regions of the world: Australia and New Zealand (ANZ), where we anticipate a 30%+ growth in our sales, service, and support offerings in the coming year.

As a Shopify theme gets more fully featured, it is likely that large amounts of JavaScript are being used to improve and expand the user experience. Making theme changes gets more nerve wracking as the amount of code increases. Did my sales go down because I broke something with the last JavaScript change? If you’re worried about that next theme publish, it’s time to start monitoring user experiences for JavaScript errors. TrackJS makes error monitoring quick and easy to do!

About seventy-two percent of businesses operate in a hybrid IT environment, mixing their cloud-based services with traditional on-premises infrastructure. These hybrid environments offer many benefits, from scale, speed, and flexibility to security, cost savings, and control, blending the best of both worlds.

The Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline has evolved as a cornerstone in the fast-evolving world of software development, particularly in the field of cloud computing. This blog aims to demystify how CI/CD, a set of practices that streamline software development, enhances the agility and efficiency of cloud computing.

On Dec. 18, 2023, we unintentionally introduced some new features and two minor breaking changes in the Grafana 10.2.3 patch release. These changes were originally intended for Grafana 10.3, which we plan to release later this month, but these commits were merged into the 10.2.3 release branch early due to a mistake in our release process. Because Grafana 10.2.3 introduces more changes than expected in a typical patch release, there’s a risk of more bugs than expected.

From AI to OTel, 2023 was a transformative year for open source observability. While the advancements we made in open source observability will be a catalyst for our continued work in 2024, there is even more innovation on the horizon. We asked seven Grafanistas to share their predictions for which observability trends are on their “In” list for 2024. Here’s what they had to say.

If you Google, “What is the shortest, complete sentence in American English?”, then you may get, “I am” as the first answer. However, “Go” is also considered a grammatically correct sentence, and is shorter than, “I am”.

The past year has seen a transformational change in the cloud computing landscape, spearheaded by the advent of AI technology, the ongoing economic challenges for businesses to achieve successful results, and the evolving data regulations surrounding security and privacy.

When the process of an application malfunctions, it can have a negative impact on users and the business. Companies need a way to identify and resolve the root cause of problems smartly. This is where monitoring and observability come in. Monitoring and observability are two methods for identifying the underlying cause of problems. Observability in IT is a concept that goes further than simple monitoring.
