Top tips is a weekly column where we highlight what's trending in the tech world and list practical ways to explore these trends. This week, we're clearing out the one notification nobody wants to see: storage full. You’re about to capture the perfect moment and a message pops up: Storage full. The same sentiment applies to a fridge:Nobody means to overstuff it, but a little goes in every day at a faster rate than items come out, until a lemon ends up balanced on the edge of a shelf.

Monitoring used to mean checking that your dashboards looked fine and starting to troubleshoot when something broke. That approach is outdated. Today, the health of your applications directly affects your business. A slow checkout page, a lagging database, or an unresponsive server costs you customers, revenue, and trust. A problem that once took hours to identify and fix is no longer acceptable. This is where AIOps comes in.
