How to improve your observability

Coroot was designed to solve the problem of time-consuming root cause analysis. It handles the full observability journey - from collecting telemetry automatically with zero code setup (thanks, eBPF!) to simplifying the role of SREs and DevOps everywhere with instant root cause analysis powered by AI. We also strongly believe that simple observability should be an innovation everyone can afford to benefit from: which is why our software is open source!

How to think about quality in the age of cheap prototypes

When AI makes prototyping incredibly cheap, your old quality standards become a bottleneck. The key mindset shift? Quality doesn't matter equally everywhere. You can experiment with lower-quality prototypes to learn faster, then apply high standards only to what customers actually see. This isn't about lowering standards - it's about applying the right quality mindset at the right stage. Stop letting perfectionism slow down your learning phase.

From painted doors to real prototypes - a mindset shift

The economics of building software are changing everything. For years, entrepreneurs used "painted doors" - fake features to test demand - because building was too expensive. But when AI drops development costs, you can create real prototypes and gather genuine user data instead of pretending. This mindset revolution treats experiments like cheap option contracts - the lower the cost, the more you can explore. Ready to abandon painted doors for unlimited experimentation?

Streamline API testing with Proxy Mock! Capture, mock, and replay API calls locally

Alan Mon introduces Proxy Mock, a powerful tool for capturing and replaying API calls. Learn how to effortlessly record inbound and outbound API requests and responses. The demonstration highlights how Proxy Mock operates entirely on your local machine, eliminating the need for cloud services or internet connectivity for testing. See how to set up Proxy Mock, inspect captured API calls (including request/response headers, body, and unique signatures), and leverage it to mock API responses for seamless local testing, ultimately boosting productivity and reducing the need for costly non-production environments.

How We Made Our Queries 99.5% Faster

We cut log-query scanning from ~100% of data blocks to < 1% by reorganizing how logs are stored in ClickHouse. Instead of relying on bloom-filter skip indexes, they generate a deterministic “resource fingerprint” (hash of cluster + namespace + pod, etc.) for every log source and sort the table by this fingerprint in the primary-key ORDER BY clause. This packs logs from the same pod/service contiguously, letting ClickHouse’s sparse primary-key index skip irrelevant blocks.

Visibility Is the First Line of Defense: Operational Readiness in a Zero Trust World

As global cyber threats continue to evolve at unprecedented speed, the United States public sector faces growing pressure to enhance operational readiness. Agencies must now contend with adversaries who are not only well-funded but also increasingly sophisticated in their ability to exploit visibility gaps. In the face of this dynamic threat landscape, the Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) model has become an essential security framework.

Smart Ring Development (Part 2) Hardware Design

This series of articles discusses the development of a SOTA Open Smart Ring - a tiny wearable packed with electronics that fits on your (even the smallest) finger. We dive deep into what it means to develop such a product, its challenges, and ultimately, how to make it a manufacturable and usable piece.

A New Era of Cooperation: How the UK-India Free Trade Deal Can Benefit India's Digital Economy

India’s digital economy is on a historic growth trajectory. According to the Digital Infrastructure Providers Association (DIPA), it’s projected to reach $1 trillion by the end of 2025, driven by rising internet penetration, data consumption, and cloud adoption.
