How to redact secrets from logs with Grafana Alloy and Loki

In any observability stack, logs are essential for uncovering insights, troubleshooting issues, and ensuring system health. However, managing the security of logged data presents its own challenges, especially when it comes to preventing sensitive information, like API keys and credentials, from slipping into logs. Secrets can originate from a variety of sources, and it’s often challenging to predict which applications or services might inadvertently expose sensitive information.

Getting started with Azure dashboards

Azure is the cloud service provider of choice for a variety of reasons – such as its ease of use, its wide variety of services, the strong community around it and its integration with other Microsoft services. While Azure comes with native data visualization solutions such as dashboards and workbooks, they require a significant amount of Azure knowledge to create and maintain.

Dashboarding your K6 load tests in SquaredUp

Load testing is an extremely valuable practice for assessing how your application will actually perform in production. Whether you're expecting a handful of concurrent users or anticipate thousands, it's important to have an idea of the kind of loads that will be placed on your systems and be aware of where bottlenecks or saturation may occur.

How we implemented a release/promotion workflow with a single approval, using Kosli

A feature we often get asked about at Kosli is whether we can help support a release/promotion workflow: a workflow that deploys a known set of Artifacts from one runtime environment (eg beta/staging) into another runtime environment (eg production), typically in parallel. The simple answer is we can help, and in this blog we show the release workflow in the Kosli cyber-dojo demo project (an open sourced application for practising TDD from your browser).
