Prevent pipeline collisions with serial groups in CircleCI

May 21, 2025 By Jacob Schmitt In CircleCI
In a single pipeline, it’s easy to control job order. But in a large engineering org with dozens of pipelines, hundreds of contributors, and countless shared environments and services, that control can start to slip. Pipelines interfere with each other. Deploys overlap. Test environments break. Someone merges code, triggers a build, and gets a failure they can’t reproduce. Unfortunately, this kind of instability is a routine byproduct of scale.

Observability vs Monitoring: Enhancing, Not Replacing

May 21, 2025 By Jan Schuppik In Icinga
In the dynamic world of IT operations, a common misconception has emerged: Observability vs Monitoring is often framed as a battle where one replaces the other. At Icinga, where open-source monitoring is our expertise, we aim to clarify this misunderstanding. Observability doesn’t supplant monitoring—it complements and enhances it. The term “Observability” has become a buzzword in the tech industry, often touted as the modern solution to outdated, static monitoring practices.

Application Performance Monitoring Guide: Strategies, Best Practices, and Tools

May 21, 2025 By Staff Contributor In SolarWinds
With the introduction of cloud services and microservices, applications have become more complicated due to their increased layers of complexity and distributed architecture. While microservices clearly offer speed, they also make things harder for the developers and operations teams. These teams need to plan for the reliable and efficient performance of such applications. To combat these challenges, application performance monitoring (APM) has surfaced as an indispensable discipline.
