How Upstash Monitors Every Redis Replica with Checkly
There's a support ticket every SRE dreads: "is something wrong with my database?" The outage is bad enough. Worse is the possibility that the customer knew first. At Upstash, we treat that scenario as two failures rather than one: the incident itself, and the uptime monitoring gap that let a customer beat us to it. We write a postmortem for the gap, too.

Build an SRE Agent Harness for AIOps Without Context Blowout
An agent harness for AIOps is the runtime layer that coding agents like Claude Code were never built to provide: context isolation, decision traceability, and gated execution for tools that touch production.

When and what should I be logging?
This is a follow-up to Sergiy’s post Errors, traces, logs, metrics: when to reach for what. Modern observability platforms, like Sentry, give developers a lot of choice. For a given problem, should you use traces, profiles, metrics, logs? If you take away one thing from this post, I hope it’s this: when in doubt, start by adding a few targeted log lines.
ITSM Knowledge Management: How to Build a Knowledge Base Your Team Will Actually Use
How many times should your service desk solve the same problem before it becomes shared knowledge? A senior agent on a 14-person service desk we worked with last quarter had answered the same question four times in two days for four different employees.
