ClickHouse LowCardinality: When It Helps and When It Hurts

Jun 15, 2026 By Prathamesh Sonpatki In Last9

ClickHouse LowCardinality cuts storage and speeds up queries on low-cardinality columns, but backfires on trace IDs. How to tell the difference. Prathamesh works as an evangelist at Last9, runs SRE stories - where SRE and DevOps folks share their stories, and maintains o11y.wiki - a glossary of all terms related to observability.

Python Error Tracking for Django, Flask, and FastAPI: A Practical Setup Guide

Jun 15, 2026 By Rollbar In Rollbar

Your Python app is throwing errors in production right now. Some of them are obvious: a 500 response, an angry Slack message from support. But most are quiet. A background task swallows an exception. A race condition surfaces only under load. A third-party API returns unexpected data and your code handles it by not handling it. If you’re relying on log files and user reports to find these, you’re debugging after the damage is done.

Observability: Are You Measuring What Actually Matters?

Jun 15, 2026 By Colin Burke In Honeycomb

Observability has always been important, and much like any core capability in your business, the value needs to be understood. For years, the value of observability was predictable. It was uptime, error rates, MTTR, and likely tool consolidation. That was enough to be able to show progress. These are foundational, tablestakes metrics—and they still matter, but they aren’t enough.

Kubernetes Monitoring: Datadog Alert to Lightrun Root Cause

Jun 15, 2026 By Lightrun Team In Lightrun

Datadog Kubernetes monitoring tells an SRE team what failed, which pod failed, and when. It does so within seconds of the alert firing. The investigation then stalls at the same point every time: nothing in the dashboard layer can prove why a specific request behaved the way it did inside a running JVM at the moment of failure. Variable values, feature flag evaluations, and code branches are never captured.

PHP-FPM Performance Optimization: The Complete Tuning + Monitoring Guide

Jun 14, 2026 By Pavithra Parthiban In Atatus

When your PHP-based application starts attracting thousands of visitors, the way you run PHP becomes critical. A slow-loading page or a server crash during peak hours can cost you revenue, users, and reputation. PHP-FPM (PHP FastCGI Process Manager) is the default way most high-performance websites run PHP. While its default configuration works fine for small to medium workloads, high-traffic applications need custom tuning to handle large volumes of requests efficiently.

Data quality issues show up faster when...

Jun 12, 2026 By Virtana In Virtana

AI can't reason about what it can't see because AI requires evidence or the observed signals. Correlation requires co-occurrence. If it is not in the data set it doesn't exist to the machine. So the key insight is if there are omitted variables, there are going to be blind spots forever.

Building More Resilient Multi-Cloud Operations

Jun 12, 2026 By Dallon Robinette In Selector

The last post in this series looked at how disconnected alerts can slow incident response and how stronger correlation helps teams investigate issues with more clarity. That same operational context has value beyond triage. It also plays an important role in resilience, service assurance, and the ability to maintain confidence across increasingly complex multi-cloud environments. Resilience depends on more than reacting well during an outage.
