Best Python APM Tools in 2026: A Developer's Guide

Last updated: March 2026 Python applications built on Django, Flask, FastAPI, and other frameworks have the same monitoring needs as applications built in any other language: you want to know which endpoints are slow, why the database is getting hammered, what errors are firing in production, and ideally all of that in a form that does not require three separate tools to reconstruct a single incident.

Routing OpenTelemetry logs to Sentry using OTLP

If you've already instrumented your app with OpenTelemetry, you don't have to rip it out to use Sentry. Two environment variables and your logs start flowing into Sentry, no SDK changes, no re-instrumentation. Here's how to set it up in a sample app, and when the native Sentry SDK might be the better call.

Your Questions About AI-Assisted Development Answered

We recently hosted a webinar on AI-assisted development with DORA, and the audience had a lot of questions—far more than we could get to in an hour. I picked out six that get at the stuff people are wrestling with day to day. These aren't the easy questions, and I don't think there are necessarily easy answers, but I've spent the past year building and shipping with AI coding tools and observing (literally) what happens when that code hits production. Here's what I have.

Meet the new Bits AI SRE: Deeper reasoning, twice as fast

When we announced Bits AI SRE at DASH 2025, we introduced an autonomous SRE agent that investigates alerts the moment they trigger. Bits AI SRE reads the same telemetry data as your team, understands your architecture, and follows your runbooks to identify likely root causes before you even open your laptop. It’s your AI teammate that’s always on call.

From Reactive to Predictive: Preserving BESS Uptime at Scale

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) operate as revenue-generating grid assets that capture surplus electricity, deploy power during demand spikes, and support frequency control. By shifting energy across time, they stabilize grid conditions, enable renewable integration, and execute market dispatch commitments. When systems respond as designed, stored capacity becomes a flexible, monetizable supply. But BESS performance depends on precision and availability.

Continuous Security Monitoring: The Practical Guide for Modern Ops Teams

If you've ever been on call during a "nothing changed... except everything" incident, you already understand the real problem with traditional security checks: they're snapshots. And snapshots are useless the moment your infrastructure shifts, a new SaaS tool gets approved, a developer spins up a service in a different region, or a vendor quietly exposes an admin portal to the internet. Modern environments don't stay still. So security can't, either.

AWS Middle East data center strikes: 92 SaaS platforms report disruptions

StatusGator analysis identifies 92 cloud services that publicly acknowledged disruptions tied to the AWS Middle East incident. Over the weekend, Amazon confirmed that drone strikes damaged AWS facilities in the Middle East, disrupting cloud infrastructure across the region. The strikes affected AWS regions in the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, causing outages and degraded performance across core cloud services including compute, storage, and databases.

Centralizing Docker Logs for Observability and Security

Most people can remember the old game of telephone, the stream of whispered sentences or phrases across a group of kids. At each transmission, a different piece of information gets lost or misheard, leaving the last person with an incomplete or incomprehensible statement. Managing Docker logs can feel the same way, especially when an error message is lost or an error message lacks context.
