Pager fatigue: Making the invisible work visible

No matter how hard you try to prevent it, your product will break. And sometimes, it breaks in the middle of the night. Getting paged at 3 a.m. is rough.

Introducing the Coralogix SLO Center

Are you struggling to define reliability targets? Teams nowadays are turning to Service Level Objectives (SLOs), reliability targets that can be used to define how much you can play around with your systems before users are affected too much. While they're a great way of defining reliability targets, they are difficult to manage. That's why we built the SLO Center. One place to define, track, zoom into, and stay on top of all your reliability targets and error budgets - so you can be sure when you can experiment, and when it's best to stay safe.

Can External Data Predict System Failures?

Something critical just went down. Again. So you troubleshoot and find out everything's clean - logs, metrics, nothing seems out of the ordinary. You didn't think to look out the window, right? Let's rewind a couple of hours. The temperature spiked 15 degrees outside, the humidity was at 90% and a storm came out of nowhere. Meanwhile, your edge device is sitting in a box on a pole somewhere; it never stood a chance.

Vibe coding with the incident.io API

Many, many years ago, I was a computer science major at the University of Illinois, hoping someday I’d be able to write code for a living. I started my career in QA hoping to learn the ins and outs of software development. But it turns out I wasn’t very good at coding. I was just good enough to get a role as a sales engineer, where all I had to do was write code that could hold together for 30 minutes in a demo.

Breaking through the Senior Engineer ceiling

You’ve made it to Senior engineer. Now what? You’re now staring at the next level, Staff typically, sometimes Principal, or whatever your company calls it. The path feels murky. Your manager gives you feedback like “show more technical leadership” or “think bigger picture”, but what does that actually mean day-to-day? I’ve been there. I’ve also been on the other side, helping engineers grow through whatever explicit (or implicit) levels a company has.
