Synthetic Monitoring Is Broken. Your Production Traffic Can Fix It.

Synthetic monitoring has been a critical part of application reliability for years. It gives engineering and operations teams a way to proactively test applications, APIs, and critical customer journeys before users encounter problems. But there is a fundamental limitation with the traditional approach: Someone has to create the tests. As applications become more distributed and customer journeys become more complex, organizations can end up maintaining hundreds or even thousands of synthetic scripts. Every new feature, API, dependency, or change to a customer journey can require another update.

We’re not there yet, but this is the future I’m betting on. We’ve been working on this ourselves at Komodor over the past year. We know how hard it is to turn a failure into an improvement that holds up beyond a few examples.

Incident Management System: What It Is and How to Choose One

An alert fires. A ticket opens. Someone gets paged. Then the real work begins: gathering context, finding the affected service, deciding who owns the issue, running diagnostics, applying a fix, validating recovery, and documenting the result. Many IT teams assume that an incident management system is simply the application that opens and tracks the ticket. That is part of the job, but it’s not the whole operating model.

Run Your GitHub Actions Workflows on CircleCI (Open Preview)

CircleCI can now run supported GitHub Actions workflows directly on CircleCI infrastructure, using the YAML you already have. In this quick demo, we’ll walk through setting up a CircleCI project with an existing GitHub Actions workflow and running your first build. You’ll see how to: GitHub Actions compatibility is currently available in open preview on Linux. Not all GitHub Actions features are supported yet, so check the documentation for current compatibility.
