Targeting hosts and services in Icinga 2 API requests

Aug 27, 2025 By Julian Brost In Icinga
Today, we are going to take a look at the Icinga 2 API and the various ways targets can be specified for different actions, such as querying information or scheduling downtimes. This post focuses on the API request payloads themselves and assumes some familiarity with sending requests to the Icinga 2 API. Please refer to our documentation for the missing details if you want to try the requests yourself. In general, specifying the objects to which an action applies works the same way for all actions.

Shift Left on Performance Testing - Without Killing Developer Velocity

Aug 26, 2025 By Kristopher Sandoval In Speedscale
Traditional performance testing often comes late in the delivery cycle, typically just before release. By then, performance issues are usually quite expensive to fix, can delay deployments, and frustrate development velocity. A Shift Left testing approach addresses this by integrating performance testing early in the development cycle so issues surface while they’re still easy and cheap to fix.

Don't Just Monitor SLAs - Validate Them Automatically

Aug 20, 2025 By Kristopher Sandoval In Speedscale
Service level agreements (SLAs) are the contractual backbone between customers and technology vendors, outlining expected service availability, performance metrics, and remedies like service credits when service providers fail to meet agreed-upon service levels. This service agreement assures both the technical quality as well as the service quality of the services provided, and underpins the value perspective of the client.

Your APIs Are Green. Your Background Jobs Are Dying.

Aug 19, 2025 By Nishant Modak In Last9
Launch Week Day 2: Introducing Discover Jobs Your dashboard looks perfect. APIs responding in 80ms. Error rates at 0.02%. Kubernetes pods healthy. Everything's green. Then Slack explodes: "Why didn't my invoice generate?" "Where's my password reset email?" "The data export I requested yesterday is still processing?" You check your job queue. Sidekiq dashboard shows 47,000 jobs processed today. Redis looks fine. Workers are running. But somehow, your business logic is silently falling apart.

Best of both worlds: relaxAI API brings sovereignty and affordability to OpenAI

Aug 19, 2025 By Mark Boost In Civo
The UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) recently published its final verdict on the state of the cloud industry. While the tone may have softened since its initial findings, the conclusion was still damning: hyperscalers like AWS and Microsoft continue to unfairly dominate the cloud market through opaque, inflated pricing and technical lock-in strategies.

Zero Trust Architecture Needs Zero Guesswork

Aug 18, 2025 By Kristopher Sandoval In Speedscale
The Zero Trust model has fundamentally shifted how organizations secure their applications and infrastructure. Instead of assuming anything inside your network is safe, the Zero Trust security model requires continuous verification of every identity, every device, and every access request across the entire trust model, forcing users and devices to prove that they can access what they are trying to access.

Traffic Replay: Production Without Production Risk

Aug 13, 2025 By Kristopher Sandoval In Speedscale
The software and product life cycle is fraught with pitfalls and tradeoffs. While testing applications under production-like load is critical to ensuring the reliability, performance, and security of your data storage and software services, you need to do this testing without actually affecting the production data and systems. In essence, you have to pull off the impossible - be as close to production as you can without actually being production.

Stop Guessing with OAuth: Understanding CI/CD

Aug 11, 2025 By Kristopher Sandoval In Speedscale
OAuth 2.0 is the leading open authorization framework that enables secure delegated access to protected resources. From traditional web apps and browser-based apps to native apps and desktop applications, OAuth allows client apps to grant access on a user’s behalf without exposing login credentials, enabling powerful third-party applications, custom data flows, and powerful user experiences. However, while OAuth is secure, it’s not always fast.

Data Sovereignty Is Everyone's Problem

Aug 8, 2025 By Kristopher Sandoval In Speedscale
Data sovereignty isn’t just a niche consideration anymore – it’s a central requirement in everything from cloud computing and analytics to software development. The environment of 2025 is significantly different from that of 2015, and even more so from 2005. What was once a patchwork of guidance documents, data privacy laws, and local regulations has given way to massive EU-wide regulations, multinational frameworks, and a greater focus by users on digital identity.

Vibe coding with the incident.io API

Aug 5, 2025 By Article In Incident.io
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.
