Synthetic Testing Examples: User Flow Testing, APIs Validation, Custom Metrics, Log Ingestion, and More

May 16, 2025 By Jeremy Hicks In Splunk
Starting from scratch with synthetic testing of your web properties and APIs can be difficult. Questions like “what should we be testing?” will very quickly become exercises in figuring out “how can we actually do that?” which may involve sifting through various elements of the DOM or JSON responses. But there are shortcuts to synthetic testing mastery!

Building an end-to-end Retrieval- Augmented Generation (RAG) workflow

May 15, 2025 By Michelle Anne Tabirao In Canonical
One of the most critical gaps in traditional Large Language Models (LLMs) is that they rely on static knowledge already contained within them. Basically, they might be very good at understanding and responding to prompts, but they often fall short in providing current or highly specific information. This is where RAG comes in; RAG addresses these critical gaps in traditional LLMs by incorporating current and new information that serves as a reliable source of truth for these models.

Your Observability Platform Has a Blind Spot: Don't Risk Your Operations on Bolt-on Incident Response Modules

May 15, 2025 By Cristina Dias In PagerDuty
Observability platforms want to do it all—from data collection to incident response. Their pitch is appealing: one platform to eliminate context switching and reduce overhead. But when critical systems fail—and they will fail—, add-on incident management modules won’t save you. You need an end-to-end system built specifically for high-stakes incident management.

Prometheus vs Zabbix: A Hands-On Technical Comparison and a Modern Alternative

May 15, 2025 By Pavithra Parthiban In Atatus
When choosing a monitoring tool, two popular names often come up, Prometheus and Zabbix. Both are powerful and widely adopted but come with different approaches and learning curves. Prometheus is favored in cloud-native environments for its time-series data model and flexibility, while Zabbix has long served traditional IT infrastructures with its rich agent-based monitoring. But what if you are looking for a simpler, more unified solution?

What's Holding Back AI Adoption in India?

May 15, 2025 By Kunal Kushwaha In Civo
Earlier this year, I spent a few weeks in India, visiting universities, speaking at meetups, and catching up with founders. What stood out wasn’t just the excitement about AI, but the focus on what it can actually do today. The curiosity about GenAI and big-picture questions around AGI is there, but most conversations centered around real needs: learning faster, applying for jobs, and getting healthier.

You, Me, and BugSplat's MCP

May 15, 2025 By Bobby Galli In BugSplat
Let's face it - from an experienced developer's perspective, most software trends are, put lightly, incredibly annoying. The last thing a grizzled, old, technical wizard wants to hear is some half-brained junior developer telling them to switch their SQL server to MongoDB, replace the PHP EC2 with serverless Python, or rewrite their entire front-end with HTMX. The hype-train is so intense that even watching TV feels risky, as you might see something as absurd as an ad for AI toothpaste.
