Kubernetes Load Testing Made Easy with Speedscale

Feb 11, 2026 By Ken Ahrens In Speedscale
Everybody knows working with Kubernetes is really hard. It's highly complicated. You have to know how to work with YAMLs, there's lots of stuff to deal with. The classic developer experience with YAML. But what if you could get complete visibility into your Kubernetes workloads and run realistic load tests without touching a single YAML file or running kubectl commands? In this walkthrough, I'll show you how Speedscale makes Kubernetes observability and performance testing as simple as point-and-click.

From cloud costs to cloud value: The role of performance analytics in increasing ROI

From cloud costs to cloud value: The role of performance analytics in increasing ROI

Feb 11, 2026 By Site24x7 In Site24x7
Many cloud providers offer services that scale with usage. However, unanticipated overutilization of compute instances, serverless functions, or managed databases can quickly drive up costs. Managing these resources effectively is crucial for keeping cloud spending predictable.

AWS CloudFront Outage (Feb 2026): Timeline, Cascade, and Lessons

Feb 11, 2026 By Nuno Tomas In isDown
At approximately 9:15 PM UTC on February 10, 2026, Amazon CloudFront began returning NXDOMAIN responses for DNS queries against specific distributions. In practical terms: DNS was telling users that services behind those distributions simply didn't exist. The root cause was a DNS resolution failure within CloudFront's infrastructure that quickly spread to eight interconnected AWS services.

Silent Failures: Why AI Code Breaks in Production

Feb 11, 2026 By Ken Ahrens In Speedscale
You ship a small “safe” change on Friday. The diff is tiny, the tests are green, and the AI assistant was confident. An hour after deploy, your on-call channel lights up. A downstream service is rejecting responses that look fine in code review. Now you’re rolling back and rewriting a fix that should have been obvious if you had real traffic in the loop. This isn’t a hypothetical.

A new perspective on dashboard sprawl

Feb 11, 2026 By Dave Clarke In Squared Up
Dashboards are supposed to answer questions, not create more of them. But investigations don't stop at a single view. The moment you want to understand one specific thing in detail like a failing VM, a degraded service, a slow pipeline, dashboards start to break down. You end up either building yet another dashboard or searching through many different ones. SquaredUp's Perspectives changes this.

A Notification List Is Not a Team

Feb 11, 2026 By James Barnes In StatusCake
In the previous post, we looked at how alert noise is rarely accidental. It’s usually the result of sensible decisions layered over time, until responsibility becomes diffuse and response slows. One of the most persistent assumptions behind this pattern is simple. If enough people are notified, someone will take responsibility. After more than fourteen years of working with engineering teams of every size and shape, we’ve seen this assumption fail repeatedly.

Happy Birthday to Us: Honeycomb 10 Year Manifesto, Part 1

Feb 11, 2026 By Charity Majors In Honeycomb
Christine and I started Honeycomb in 2016, which means it’s been ten years. Christine, a developer, and I, an operations engineer, were both profoundly unhappy with the state of the art in monitoring and logging tools. The tools we had used at Facebook didn’t spray our signals around to a bunch of siloed-off pillars. They consolidated as much context as possible so we could properly explore it, the way every other non-software engineering team already takes for granted.

Agent vs Assistant: The key distinction between Olly and the competition

Feb 11, 2026 By Chris Cooney In Coralogix
The market is saturated with agents and assistants, making it difficult to tell them apart. However, the difference between these two approaches is significant. They offer radically distinct levels of impact, reflecting major differences in both their technical complexity and the quality of their inferences. Let’s figure out the distinction.
