Reliable Dedicated Servers as the Foundation of Scalable DevOps Architecture

Imagine launching a product update at peak traffic time. Your development team pushes the changes, expecting everything to run smoothly. But instead of seamless deployment, the infrastructure buckles-delays spike, user complaints pour in, and error logs flood your screen. Sound familiar? In the world of DevOps, where agility and uptime are non-negotiable, the strength of your backend setup determines how fast-and how safely-you can move. At the heart of this digital engine lies a crucial but often underestimated component: the server. More specifically-reliable dedicated servers.

Backlinks still move the SEO needle

Despite algorithm shifts, Google's core trust signals continue to reward high-quality, relevant links. But outreach is slow, scaling is painful, and most marketers would rather not send 300 cold emails just to land one backlink. That's where AI steps in. Over the past 60 days, I tested a range of AI-powered link building platforms. Some promise end-to-end automation. Others assist with research, personalization, or prospecting. Each tool brings a unique strength - and yes, a few surprises.

Smarter alerts using P75 for more signal and less noise

We've rolled out a new feature in Raygun Alerting that gives you more control over how you track and respond to performance regressions. Starting today, you can now use the 75th percentile (P75) as a filter option for page performance data in Real User Monitoring, such as Core Web Vitals and page load time, right alongside the default 'Average'. This option is available under the "Page/XHR performance change" condition and supports all the Web Vitals metrics we track: Let's break down why this matters, when you should use P75, and how it gives you better, faster insights into how real users are experiencing your site or app.

The 3 smart updates to our Jira plugin

The Jira plugin is one of our most-used integrations and for good reason. Teams rely on it daily to stay on top of work, manage issues, and ship on time. As more people leaned on it, we saw a chance to make the experience even smoother. So, we gave it an upgrade. We’ve refreshed the out-of-the-box dashboards, simplified the data streams, and improved the overall experience. So, let’s take a closer look at what’s changed.

Cloud Workload Management: What It Is And How To Do It

The cloud gave us agility, but it also introduced fragmentation. And in most companies, no one’s fully owning the sprawl. One team deploys a new service in a hurry. Another forgets to shut down a dev environment. Meanwhile, batch jobs run 24/7 on oversized instances. And no one quite knows why your bill is $10K higher this month. The result? A growing source of cost overruns, performance headaches, and operational inefficiencies. This is exactly why cloud workload management is so crucial.

Map, Transform, Filter: How Copilot Editor Helps Teams (and Their Pipelines) Have It All

Ever spent a week wrangling log pipelines just to get your SIEM to stop screaming about missing fields? Wasted way too much time stripping out noisy events and reformatting data for analytics? You’re not the only one. If you work in Security or ITOps, you know the pain: every new data source means another round of schema headaches, more manual mapping, endless field transformations, and a quick prayer that you didn’t break something critical (or let in a flood of junk events).

How to Log Into a Docker Container

When your Docker container isn't behaving the way you expect, you need to get inside and see what's going on. Maybe your app is throwing errors, a service won't start, or you just need to check some configuration files. Getting into a running Docker container is simpler than you might think, but there are several ways to do it depending on your situation. This guide shows you exactly how to log into Docker containers, troubleshoot common issues, and debug your applications effectively.

Why Datadog Falls Short for Log Management and What to Do Instead

Datadog may be the default choice for all-in-one observability, but its logging experience takes a back seat to the broader platform. Logs are primarily designed to feed into metrics and traces, which leads to tradeoffs such as slower search, complex workflows, and a UI that isn’t optimized for log investigations. As a result, Datadog doesn’t align with how developers actually troubleshoot.
