SAP Application Performance Monitoring (APM): Beyond Generic Metrics

Your enterprise APM tool shows SAP is using 90% CPU. The dashboard turns red. An alert fires. Now what? You open Dynatrace. You see the Java Virtual Machine metrics for your NetWeaver stack. You see HTTP response times for your Fiori apps. You see a spike in database calls. None of this tells you why VA01 takes 45 seconds to create a sales order. None of this tells you which custom ABAP report is consuming memory. None of this explains the short dump that crashed your pricing routine. This is the gap between generic APM and true SAP application performance monitoring. Your enterprise tools see the symptoms.

DEX: How Digital Experience Impacts Your Company's Profitability

When a CFO evaluates a technology investment, the natural focus is often on cost reduction. That's a valid perspective-and one that will always matter-but what if there were a smarter, more impactful way to improve EBITDA? In an exclusive interview, Leandro Silva, CEO of Almaden, argues that technology decisions shouldn't only address the bottom of the income statement. To truly drive business results, leaders must also look at the top-and the key lies in the Employee Digital Experience (DEX)

The Ultimate Kubernetes Cost Monitoring And Management Guide

While Kubernetes enables teams to deliver more value faster, understanding and controlling Kubernetes costs remains challenging. You have disposable, replaceable compute resources constantly coming and going across a range of infrastructure types. Yet at the end of the month, you only get a billing line item for EKS costs and several EC2 instances.

PagerDuty's Slack App Just Got a Whole Lot Better (And We're Just Getting Started)

If you’ve been eyeing chat-native incident tools and wondering whether PagerDuty can compete in Slack, this one’s for you. Are you still treating your incident management platform like a glorified pager? It’s time for an update. Over the past months, we’ve been evolving our Slack app from a notification tool into a full incident command center, and we’re coming for the chat-native tools (ahem, incident.io).

Trusted Ownership: How Ivanti Application Control scales beyond allowlisting

Application control is one of those security topics where many people carry old assumptions. Traditional allowlisting feels safe but quickly becomes a maintenance burden. Blocklisting feels reactive and incomplete. And while tools like Microsoft AppLocker led many to believe that strict allowlisting is the gold standard, modern attacks have proven otherwise. Attackers increasingly rely on legitimate, signed tools — used in the wrong context — to bypass list-based controls entirely.

Alerting Is a Socio-Technical System

In the previous posts, we’ve looked at how alert noise emerges from design decisions, why notification lists fail to create accountability, and why alerts only work when they’re designed around a clear outcome. Taken together, these ideas point to a broader conclusion. That alerting is not just a technical system, it’s a socio-technical one. Alerting systems encode assumptions about how people behave, how responsibility is distributed, and how decisions are made under pressure.

Incident Report: Exercises, Cleanups, and Evacuations

Every year, Honeycomb runs disaster recovery scenarios in multiple environments, including in production. Although each of our instances runs in a single region, on at least three Availability Zones (AZs), we have multiple plans for partial regional failures, and particularly, zonal failures. One of these tests was run on December 5th, and after its successful completion came its cleanup steps.
