Alerting Best Practices

A firing alert is like someone ringing your doorbell - it demands your immediate attention, interrupting whatever else you’re doing. It requires focus and a quick response. But imagine trying to live in an apartment where the doorbell never stops ringing. You could put in earplugs to block the noise, but that only masks the problem - it doesn’t solve it. On the other hand, disconnecting the doorbell entirely isn’t a solution either.

A Practical Guide for Developers: Preventing PHP Mistakes with Performance Monitoring

Aug 19, 2025 By Pavithra Parthiban In Atatus
Performance is one of the most critical aspects of any PHP application. A few seconds of delay or an unnoticed bottleneck can cause users to leave your site, increase bounce rates, and reduce business conversions. For developers, ensuring top performance is not always easy. Small coding mistakes, inefficient queries can accumulate into major problems over time. Without visibility into what’s happening inside the application, it becomes difficult to identify the root cause of slowdowns or failures.

What is Real User Monitoring

Aug 19, 2025 By Anjali Udasi In Last9
Real User Monitoring (RUM) measures how real users interact with your application in production. Unlike synthetic monitoring, which relies on scripted tests, RUM collects data from actual sessions. This means performance is observed across different devices, networks, and usage patterns. The result is a clear view of how the application behaves under real conditions, where latency is introduced, which features take longer to load, and at what points users drop off.

Unity has a reputation for handing out surprises: the play-mode freeze just after a hot-reload, the sudden sea of pink materials, or the stack trace that politely reminds you your transform was null all along. Rather than letting those moments derail the rest of your sprint, this post rounds up four of the most common runtime offenders, and shows you exactly how to trigger, spot, and fix each one.

Tracing asynchronous systems in your event-driven architecture: When to use parent-child vs. span links

Aug 7, 2025 By Candace Shamieh In Datadog
Asynchronous communication patterns are commonly used in distributed systems, especially in those that rely on events or messages to coordinate activity. Rather than responding to direct API calls like in a traditional request-response architecture, services in an asynchronous system produce, route, or consume events and messages independently.

How to build reliable and accurate synthetic tests for your mobile apps

Aug 7, 2025 By Addie Beach In Datadog
Mobile applications offer increased flexibility to both users and developers. Users can access content on a wide range of devices, operating systems, and network types, while developers can leverage touch screens and orientation-based layouts to create more responsive features. However, all of these factors create new testing challenges. To ensure a good user experience (UX), developers have to test their apps across many device models and platforms, which can become costly and time-consuming.

Deletion protection in Grafana Cloud: a simple way to safeguard your observability stack

Aug 7, 2025 By Jose Ignacio Gil Jaldo In Grafana
We’ve all had that “uh-oh” moment. You press Enter and your blood runs cold, as you realize you just deleted something critical. For engineering teams, this type of disaster takes many forms. For example, maybe you used a DELETE statement without a WHERE clause to delete a row in a database, and accidentally deleted all of them instead. To protect you from the accidental deletion of critical resources in Grafana Cloud, we’re introducing a feature called deletion protection.

Introducing the Coralogix SLO Center

Aug 6, 2025 By Coralogix In Coralogix
Are you struggling to define reliability targets? Teams nowadays are turning to Service Level Objectives (SLOs), reliability targets that can be used to define how much you can play around with your systems before users are affected too much. While they're a great way of defining reliability targets, they are difficult to manage. That's why we built the SLO Center. One place to define, track, zoom into, and stay on top of all your reliability targets and error budgets - so you can be sure when you can experiment, and when it's best to stay safe.

Nothing about today's Internet stays in one place... so why does your monitoring?

Aug 6, 2025 By Catchpoint In Catchpoint
Users are mobile. Apps are elastic. Traffic shifts constantly across clouds, ISPs, and geographies. Monitoring needs to adapt to that reality. You need visibility that moves with your users and your applications, wherever they go, however they connect. The Internet is now your application fabric. And your monitoring strategy should reflect that!

AI Replay Summaries in Sentry Arrive!

Aug 6, 2025 By Sentry In Sentry
Replays in Sentry are awesome. With one property in your Sentry config you can start capturing video-like replays of user interactions with your application, but the problem is... you still have to watch them... but not anymore! AI replay summaries take your replays and run the events through an LLM to summarize the events that happened in them. They are broken up into chapters, with the breadcrumb sequences embedded in, so you can quickly get context of whats happening in every replay.

3 Signs You've Outgrown Scripts and Spreadsheets for Network Configs

Aug 6, 2025 By ScienceLogic In ScienceLogic
In the early days of any IT operation, pragmatism rules. Most network teams start with what’s readily available—custom scripts, Excel spreadsheets, shared network drives, and tribal knowledge. It’s cost-effective and familiar. But as your organization grows, so does the complexity of your network. Devices multiply, configurations diversify, and the operational risk of keeping everything “stitched together” with manual methods increases exponentially.

Size-capped telemetry storage with ClickHouse and Coroot

Aug 6, 2025 By Nikolay Sivko In Coroot
Cloud platforms make it incredibly easy to store data. Object storage feels endless, and block volumes can be resized anytime. That’s great, until you check the cost. In some cases, like financial transactions, storage costs are tiny compared to the value of the data. But observability is a different story. Logs, traces, and profiles can be extremely detailed and often take up more space than the actual business data. Yes, there are situations where logs need to be kept for compliance reasons.
