Microsoft Azure Monitor is the native monitoring platform for Azure environments. For teams already running workloads in Azure, it offers an obvious starting point: it's built in, deeply integrated, and parts of it are genuinely free.

The case for Cloud ERP has been settled for a while. The case for this year has not.

Raygun APM Agent 3.1 introduces more accurate asynchronous request tracing for Windows, Linux, and Azure App Service. Version 3.0 rebuilt the foundation of the Agent, profiler, installers, and release pipeline. Version 3.1 builds on that work with a focused improvement for ASP.NET Core: automatic request correlation that follows asynchronous execution without requiring developers to instrument their application.

Pull request queues keep growing, reviewers lose context between rounds of feedback, and merges stall for days. If your team’s code review process has become a bottleneck instead of a quality gate, the tooling around it may be the real issue. GitKraken gives you a unified code review workspace that cuts through noise and surfaces meaningful changes so reviewers focus on what matters.

Most Operational Readiness Testing (ORT) programs follow the same ritual. A checklist gets filled out. Someone runs a load test in a war room the week before launch. A failover drill gets scheduled, and everyone hopes it goes cleanly. Then the release is shipped and testing is done. But with Harness you can make this process continuous and your services resilience is protected with the same ORT check list with every small change that is happening in your SDLC.

Internal developer portals need native CI/CD integration to scale effectively. Learn how integrated pipelines improve velocity. Explore Harness IDP. This article explains why internal developer portals require native CI/CD integration to achieve true scalability.

Eight LLM and AI agent observability platforms compared: what each tracks, pricing and free tiers, self-hosting options, and who each is built for. Sejal Pandey works on content and growth at Last9, writing about observability, reliability, and SRE practices.

What happens when a citizen-facing portal fails on the last day of a filing deadline, and the only record of the outage lives in an email thread between two engineers? In a commercial organization, that is an operational embarrassment. In a government department, it is a hole in a statutory record that an auditor will eventually ask about.
