If you are part of an engineering team, monitoring the performance of your CI/CD pipelines is a high priority. With the SquaredUp GitHub plugin you can view key metrics for your GitHub repos and workflows all within a single pane of glass. We also have plugins for Jira, Circle CI, Azure DevOps and more. So even if you are using many different tools you can still get an end to end view of your processes.

As an Azure admin, it is of critical importance that you keep an eye on how much cost you are incurring running your workloads in the cloud. You also want to have sight of any deployed resources that are not contributing to business and accumulating cost over time. Using a dedicated Azure plugin, SquaredUp dashboards will help you understand your Azure costs across services, resources, locations and apps – so you can keep tabs on how much you're spending and identify opportunities to save costs.

So you had a great day playing with really awesome new tech, solving big business challenges, and feeling like you really nailed it. Then you wake up the next day to an alert from Azure telling you you've blown your monthly budget and its only the first week of the month. We've all been there... right? Using any cloud service comes with a cost, but for most services the budget risk is low. Cost calculated daily isn't a problem when usage is predictable, but not everything works like that.

One of the most interesting stories in the dashboarding space over the past year or so has been the emergence of the Perses project.

As a SquaredUp user, you may be wondering why we might want to talk about a potentially competing technology. Well, obviously, being SquaredUp, dashboards are in our DNA.

In the last few years, Postgres has experienced a meteoric rise in popularity.

If you are involved in software development you will probably be aware of the ever-growing menace of supply chain attacks. These are attempts by attackers to insert malicious code into code libraries which might be downloaded or referenced by developers. Many modern frameworks can install hundreds or even thousands of dependencies, so the potential attack surface can be huge. As well as code libraries, attackers can also attempt to conceal malware in sources such as Docker images or CDNs.
