Observability is a data problem

TL;DR Metrics, logs, and traces each have a different shape, so each needs a different backend. Aiven for Metrics handles metrics and alerting, Aiven for OpenSearch handles keyword search across logs, and Aiven for ClickHouse handles analysis of high-volume, high-cardinality events. All three are upstream open source engines on the same Aiven platform, so you can start with one and add the others as your needs change.

Inside a DevOps Team Extension engagement: an infrastructure review and a Typesense architecture session

How Qovery assessed a growing B2B SaaS company's infrastructure across about 150 controls, what the review with their team changed, and why a Typesense high-availability project turned into a sharding plan.

Sentry JavaScript SDK v11 adds tracing for all JS platforms

This post is about a recent change to the Sentry JavaScript SDKs. If you don’t use Sentry with JavaScript, it may still be useful as a look at how we made the change and why. In the Sentry JavaScript SDK v11, we rebuilt how our tracing integrations work. While we still support the OpenTelemetry standard (described in more detail below), we now instrument your dependencies with a code transformer instead of using the OpenTelemetry instrumentation classes as we did in previous versions.
