Managing the cost of foundation models is a critical challenge as AI adoption surges, particularly for teams using powerful models like Anthropic's Claude Opus and Claude Sonnet. Growing teams generate larger prompt volumes and escalating model complexity, making it difficult to have clear visibility, accountability, and control of cloud AI spending.

When it comes to building fast, reliable, and user-friendly PHP applications, performance and stability are everything. A small slowdown in load times, a memory leak, or unhandled errors can frustrate users, impact revenue, and harm your brand’s reputation. This is why PHP Application Monitoring has become a necessity for businesses of all sizes.

If your organization is anything like ours, then you’ve probably embraced using large language models like Claude. Just last week, we gave all Honeycomb employees access to Claude. Now, developers can generate AI-assisted code, product managers can perform analysis on customer usage trends, marketers can test messaging, sales can do customer discovery and we are shipping AI-powered features to improve user experience.

Last month, Starlink suffered its largest outage in years, arguably its biggest since becoming a major internet provider. In addition to the millions of individual customers around the world, the outage disconnected the Community Gateways, customers of Starlink’s new transit service. In this post, we delve into the outage and its impact on these far-flung networks.

As Kubernetes environments continue to grow in scale and complexity, having a robust monitoring strategy is no longer just good practice, it’s essential for survival. For engineering teams in 2025, effective monitoring and observability is the bedrock of performance, reliability, and cost control. This guide dives into the critical aspects of modern Kubernetes monitoring, from key metrics to the top tools/frameworks and the rising role of AI in managing these complex systems.

Managing technology in K-12 schools has become increasingly complex. With dozens of educational platforms, administrative systems, and communication tools running simultaneously, IT teams need a comprehensive k12 it monitoring dashboard to maintain visibility across their entire technology ecosystem.

Every IT team knows the feeling: your phone buzzes at 3 AM with yet another alert. Is it critical? Can it wait until morning? With dozens of monitoring tools and hundreds of potential failure points, incident alert management has become one of the most challenging aspects of maintaining reliable systems.

Earlier this year, we launched the StatusGator Women in Tech Scholarship to support and empower women pursuing careers in technology. We are thrilled to announce that our 2025 scholarship recipient is Lara Djukic, an inspiring young technologist whose vision blends innovation with a deep commitment to her community. Through the Bold.org scholarship platform, we’ve award Lara a $3,100 scholarship.

Managing technology in K12 schools means juggling dozens of critical platforms simultaneously. When Google Workspace goes down during morning classes, Canvas experiences issues during exam submissions, or PowerSchool becomes unavailable during grade entry periods, the impact ripples through entire school communities. The ability to monitor multiple school platforms from a centralized dashboard has become essential for educational IT teams.

When a service slows down, metrics will tell you that it’s happening but logs tell you why. For MySQL, slow queries can be a silent performance killer, gradually chewing through resources until users start complaining. By enabling MySQL’s slow query log and forwarding it to Loki (via Promtail), you can visualize query-level details right alongside your metrics on Grafana dashboards. This makes it easy to correlate what is slow (metrics) with what is causing the slowdown (logs).
