Expanded Chart View: Investigate Without Leaving the Chart

Charts in Netdata have always been interactive. You can zoom, pan, select time ranges, and see per-second granularity across thousands of metrics. But when you spotted something interesting, the next steps usually meant leaving the chart: opening another tab to check a related metric, navigating to the correlation tool, or pulling up a different time range for comparison. The investigation workflow lived outside the chart, even though the chart was where the investigation started.

Enable self-service environments with Harness Internal Developer Portal

Learn how to enable self-service environments with an internal developer portal (IDP) and CI/CD automation. You’ve automated deployments with Harness CD, but what about the environments those deployments run on? In this quick demo, see how Harness Environment Management completes the picture by making environments self-service, standardized, and fully lifecycle-managed. Together, CD + Environment Management close the loop on modern software delivery.

A Guide to NAT Gateway

What it is, how it works, when to use it, and how to optimize it. Table of Contents Network Address Translation (NAT) has been around for a long time, playing a critical role in extending the lifespan of IPv4 as well as providing breathing room for deploying IPv6. Enterprises have been using it for decades in their corporate and data center networks as an integral part of their network management and security portfolio.

What is Chaos Engineering? Explained in 60 seconds | Resilience Testing | Harness

Discover how leading engineering teams proactively build rock-solid applications using Chaos Engineering. Learn why waiting for real outages is risky and how intentionally injecting controlled failures like pod crashes, network latency, and node restarts helps uncover hidden weaknesses before they impact your users. In this short, explore the simple yet powerful practice that turns fragile systems into resilient ones and how Harness makes running chaos experiments effortless and safe with its intuitive Resilience Testing module.

Why Autonomous AI Agents Can't Run on SaaS Infrastructure

The era of the “copilot” is ending. We are moving rapidly toward the era of the autonomous software factory, where autonomous agents don’t just autocomplete our code—they investigate, plan, test, and merge entire features while we sleep. But this shift has exposed a critical flaw in how we consume AI. For the past decade, the default motion for enterprise software has been SaaS. It’s easy, frictionless, and managed by someone else.

CertKit is out of beta

CertKit is officially out of beta. We started building CertKit a year ago, and since then over 600 people signed up, issued certificates, and deployed to their infrastructure. Several are running it as their production certificate management platform right now. We built a lot during the beta. Some of it we planned: SSO, team management, alerting. Other things, users had to beat into us. The Keystore came from enterprise security requirements to keep private keys in house.

How to Evaluate Enterprise Service Desk Automation Platforms (Before You Buy)

The market for enterprise service desk automation platforms has matured, but the way most enterprises evaluate them hasn’t. A lot of teams still start in the same place. They pull a shortlist from a review site, they compare pricing tiers, and sit through a few polished demos. Then, somewhere down the line, they realize they still haven’t answered the real questions that matter for their organization. What happens when the environment gets complicated and messy?

How instant environment cloning reduces the "Triage Tax"

The most expensive hour in software engineering is the hour spent trying to figure out why a bug exists in production that doesn’t exist anywhere else. For many teams, the first 70% of a debugging cycle isn't spent fixing code; it is spent on "plumbing." This is the time lost to reproducing the issue, wrestling with environment drift, and sanitizing datasets just to get to a starting line.
