SRE requires teamwork and planning. Be like Aiven, get it right.

The other day, a friend told me about fly.io's nice developer experience (DX). For my day job, I work on improving wrangler2's DX, so naturally it had me curious. I went from "I'll just play around with it, maybe give it a toy workload" to "holy shit, what if I quickly rewrite my business's AWS Lambda + SQS stack to fit entirely within their free tier" in about 90 minutes. It wasn't that simple in the end, but I did manage to migrate most of my active workload from AWS Lambda to fly.io.

But not so fast. What is cost optimization, and why is it different from IT cost reduction?

The first few minutes of an incident are often the hardest. Tension and adrenaline levels are high, and if you don’t have a well-documented incident management plan in place, mistakes are inevitable. It was actually the years I spent managing incidents without the right tools in those high-tension moments that inspired me to build FireHydrant. I built the tool I wished I’d had when I was trying to move fast at the start of incidents.

Having a reliable power source is something many of us take for granted. It is particularly important for healthcare facilities to have a consistent, reliable power source to ensure that vulnerable patients – specifically those who rely on electricity to sustain their lives – are not disrupted. In rural Sub-Saharan Africa, however, it’s estimated that only about 28% of hospitals have reliable electricity.

This month’s highpoints include some fine touches we’ve brought into Sysdig Monitor with the ability to view live logs on a container, translate form-queries into PromQL, multi-query support for stacked area charts. Drift Control makes its way into the Sysdig Secure side.
