Observability Costs: Tips for More Efficient Data Management

Can you ever get too much data? With modern architectures getting increasingly more complex with hundreds of microservices and containers, data volume grows at an exponential rate, and there’s no pause in sight. In this era of ever-expanding volume of telemetry, it’s nearly impossible to separate valuable data from noise, making things like root cause analysis or alerting needlessly more complicated, while putting pressure on the performance of your stack, your scalability and budget.

Discover why Time to First Byte (TTFB) is crucial for website speed in this essential Concepts of Web Performance tutorial with Todd Gardner from Request Metrics. Perfect for junior web developers learning performance optimization, this concise guide explains exactly what TTFB measures—the critical waiting period between a user's initial request and your server's first response. Learn how TTFB encompasses redirects, DNS lookups, SSL negotiations, server processing time, and geographical distance, making it the first blocking step in your page's loading sequence.

Why network observability is a boardroom priority for CEOs

Finances, strategy, and market expansion are all common CEO concerns. However, CEOs also need to focus on automatic advanced observability across highly dynamic environments. Network observability has become a boardroom discussion point because downtime directly impacts business performance. Observability helps reduce costs and enhance service quality. But what is network observability? Is observability truly necessary if you have a monitoring solution in place?

Announcing BYOC and the OpenTelemetry Distribution Builder

Instead of deploying a patchwork of proprietary agents for every platform, a telemetry pipeline lets you route your data through a single, consistent layer—and send it to any backend you choose. Flexibility, achieved. But there’s a catch. If your pipeline is proprietary, you’ve only shifted the lock-in left. Sure, you can now add or swap destinations freely—but you’re still deeply dependent on a vendor in the middle of your data flow.

Detect, Resolve, and Communicate: Introducing Checkly Status Pages

Checkly has always been your early warning system—giving engineering teams unmatched speed and precision in detecting problems through powerful synthetic monitoring. When systems fail, communicating clearly and quickly is just as important as fixing the issue itself. Downtime is inevitable. Confusion doesn’t have to be.

How to Master Log Management with Logrotate in Docker Containers

Docker containers continuously generate logs during operation, and without proper management, these logs can consume significant disk space, impact system performance, and create operational issues. Logrotate offers an effective solution for managing these logs in containerized environments. This guide covers the implementation of logrotate in Docker containers – from initial setup through advanced configurations that ensure stable, maintainable container deployments.
