We all know that a website’s performance can make or break your business. Whether you’re running an e-commerce store, SaaS platform, or content-rich website, ensuring that your site is always up, and running is non-negotiable. A single instance of downtime can result in lost revenue, decreased customer trust, and a tarnished reputation. Website monitoring tools are essential for proactively identifying issues, ensuring optimal performance, and providing a seamless experience for your users.

This post was written by David Chang, Staff Software Engineer at Pinterest, and originally posted on the Pinterest engineering blog on Medium. Develocity, formerly known as Gradle Enterprise, is a powerful tool that speeds up local and CI build time, helps troubleshoot your builds, and analyzes your data. At Pinterest, we have a dedicated team, Mobile Builds, and we ensure that developers can build fast and often. This enables developers to be more productive by getting faster feedback on their code.

Monitoring is personal. Different systems, workloads, and use-cases mean different charts matter to different users. Netdata now makes it easier than ever to customize your experience by letting you favorite charts you care about most.

Slow database queries drag down performance for both developers and users. They waste resources, slow down testing, and frustrate customers with laggy experiences. But often, there’s a surprisingly simple fix: indexing. Here’s how indexing works and when to use it, regardless of your schema.

So you’re an MSP supporting tens, hundreds or maybe even thousands of clients. Then there’s a good chance that you’re offering services for more than one cloud vendor. You may even have clients who are Multi-Cloud (using more than one cloud vendor).

Ensuring continuous network connectivity keeps getting more critical—but costly outages keep happening. This post looks at a key culprit behind many network outages: network configuration errors. We outline the key requirements for streamlining and automating configuration management, and detail how DX NetOps can help.

Explore the best Kubernetes alternatives for 2024, from Docker Swarm to AWS ECS, and find the perfect fit for your container orchestration needs.

Learn how to optimize your database for high traffic, ensuring performance, scalability, and reliability under heavy load.

Managing log files effectively is crucial for ensuring a well-performing, reliable system. Logrotate, a popular log management tool, provides a flexible way to automatically rotate, compress, and remove old logs. Among its many configurations, two common approaches to trigger log rotation are size-based and time-based rotation. In this blog, we will explore the differences between these methods, compare their use cases, and help you decide which approach (or combination) suits your needs best.

Distributed architectures with microservices, cloud-native components, and service meshes make traditional monitoring methods inadequate for system analysis. O11y (observability) implements advanced telemetry frameworks for deep system introspection through metrics, traces, and logs collection. This programmatic approach enables real-time debugging, performance optimization, and architectural decisions across distributed environments.
