Messaging queues power modern distributed systems, handling background tasks, event-driven architectures, and real-time data streaming. However, debugging issues in Kafka and Celery queues has traditionally been a black box, with limited correlation between message producers, consumers, and broker metrics. With OpenTelemetry-powered Kafka & Celery monitoring, SigNoz introduces the industry's first fully integrated observability solution for messaging queues powered by OpenTelemetry.

I recently wrote about how eG Innovations AIOps-powered monitoring benefits those working with Digital Workspaces – today I’ll cover how those same AIOps (Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations) capabilities also make the eG Enterprise platform a leader in the APM (Application Performance Monitoring) space. The eG Enterprise platform is equipped with capabilities for automated corrective actions, event-based triggers, and remote-control functionalities.

2024 was the GenAI year. With new and more performant LLMs and a higher number of projects rolled out to production, adoption of GenAI doubled compared to the previous year (source: Gartner). In the same report, organizations answered that they are using AI in more than one part of their business, with 65% of respondents mentioning they use GenAI in one function.

A reliable notifications system can send highly scalable, multi-protocol messages — via email, SMS, or apps — all from one platform. For example, you can send timely cost anomaly alerts directly to your developers on Slack to alert them to potential overspending before it becomes a board meeting emergency. So, what does this have to do with Amazon SNS pricing? Let’s start at the beginning to better understand what you’re paying for when you get that AWS SNS bill.

The weather may be frightful in most parts of the U.S. right now, but these cloud cost updates are pretty delightful (if we do say so ourselves). Here’s the top cloud news that dropped in January 2025: Enjoy!

Effective observability is crucial for maintaining system performance and reliability. ELK Stack and New Relic are two widely used solutions that offer distinct approaches to monitoring, tracing, and logging. This comparison will help you understand their core features, use cases, and strengths, enabling you to make a more informed decision on which tool best aligns with your organizational goals. Lets get started!

Let’s Encrypt has announced that it will no longer send certificate expiration notification emails. If you’ve relied on those emails to remind you when to renew your SSL/TLS certificates, it’s time to rethink your approach.

Managing logs in Docker can quickly become overwhelming, especially when dealing with multiple containers. If you’ve ever tried to sift through a sea of log entries looking for a specific error or debugging message, you know the struggle. Fortunately, you can pipe docker logs output through grep to filter logs efficiently. This guide breaks down how to use docker logs grep it effectively, including practical examples to help you debug and monitor your containerized applications like a pro.

System logs play a crucial role in debugging and monitoring in Ubuntu. When a service misbehaves or an unexpected crash happens, logs hold the answers. They’re also great for keeping an eye on system performance. Knowing how to access, read, and manage these logs can save you hours of troubleshooting. This guide covers everything you need to know about Ubuntu system logs—from where they’re stored to how to analyze them efficiently.

In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to integrate AppSignal with a Flask application running on AWS Fargate. Fargate is a serverless container service that allows you to run Docker containers in the cloud. By integrating AppSignal with AWS Fargate, you can monitor the performance of your Flask application and get insights.
