Observability 101 using OpenTelemetry & SigNoz @ Kubernetes Community Day

In this workshop, we will learn about the basics of observability and its benefits. We will take a hands on approach and actually instrument an application with OpenTelemetry, which is a vendor neutral instrumentation library. Then we will visualise the data sent by open telemetry with SigNoz, which is a full stack observability platform. In the last section, we will take an example of a real world issue and how this observability stack can be used to find the root cause of the issue.

Announcing: Bitbucket for APM

Raygun's latest integration with Bitbucket gives you code-level insights into your traces, directly in APM. Today, Raygun expands its suite of integrations for APM, introducing the latest addition - Bitbucket.

Improving Web Page Load Time

HTTP/2 (originally named HTTP/2.0) was a major revision of the HTTP network protocol used by the World Wide Web published in 2015. Indeed, those in the Citrix/EUC ecosystem may remember Marius Sandbu investigating the benefits of HTTP/2 for NetScaler, Microsoft IIS, and Storefront users back in 2015/6. HTTP/2 was the first new version of HTTP since HTTP/1.1, which itself was standardized in RFC 2068 in 1997.
