Using Core Web Vitals in Honeycomb Frontend Telemetry

Feb 23, 2026 By Ken Rimple In Honeycomb
Google's Core Web Vitals (CWVs) measurements have been used by web administrators and SREs to review frontend application performance metrics, and have been factored into Google's page rankings since 2021. They are also used in Google Analytics, which crawls websites and evaluates performance metrics over a period of multiple days, and with various frontends (desktop web, mobile web, etc.) to establish how well a website performs in production.

Database Cost Management: How To Control Rising Database Spend

Feb 23, 2026 By Lyne Carolyne In CloudZero
According to CloudZero’s Cloud Economics Pulse, databases are often among the largest and most persistent cloud cost categories. Database costs are notoriously difficult to predict and control. Unlike stateless infrastructure that scales predictably with traffic, databases run continuously and expand behind the scenes, causing costs to rise even when usage appears stable. Because databases run continuously and expand behind the scenes, costs can rise even when usage appears stable.

When AI Writes the Code, Who Keeps Production Running?

Feb 23, 2026 By Ilan Adler In Komodor
The production environment has become a minefield of code nobody really understands. Here’s what’s happening: Development teams are using Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot to ship features at 10x their previous velocity. Product managers are ecstatic. Business stakeholders are thrilled. And somewhere in a war room at 2:17 AM, an SRE is staring at a stack trace for code that was AI-generated three weeks ago, trying to figure out why the payment service just fell over.

How likely is a man-in-the-middle attack?

Feb 23, 2026 By Todd H. Gardner In CertKit
Security vendors love the man-in-the-middle attack. It’s the boogeyman of every TLS marketing page. Some shadowy figure intercepting your traffic, reading your secrets, stealing your data. A man-in-the-middle attack is when an attacker positions themselves between two parties on a network to intercept the traffic flowing between them. In the context of TLS, that means an attacker who can present a valid certificate can read everything in plaintext and proxy it on to the real server.

The limits of MCP and how Olly surpasses them

Feb 23, 2026 By Chris Cooney In Coralogix
Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers act as adapter layers between clients and AI based workloads. MCP installation into an IDE, such as Cursor, brings a wealth of information directly into the developers primary tool, minimizing context switching and, especially in the world of observability, bringing telemetry closer to the code. MCP is not without its limits. These limits initially seem trivial, but in time, some of the inherent limitations to a basic MCP implementation become apparent.

A 4-Month Bug Fixed in <10 Minutes with Olly

Feb 23, 2026 By Chris Cooney In Coralogix
In today’s highly interconnected systems, the subtle relationships between services are rarely obvious. Modern, complex architectures generate telemetry that functions less as “flashing signs” and more as faint “breadcrumbs” to be followed across a vast network of signals. In 2025, about two-thirds of outages involved third-party systems like cloud platforms and APIs.

How to Relocate IT Assets With InvGate

Feb 23, 2026 By InvGate In InvGate
IT asset relocation is the process of moving technology resources from one place or person to another, with zero gaps in custody, security, or records. Why does this matter? Because every move introduces risk. Without a clear asset relocation process, devices can go missing, records get outdated, and even chain of custody can become unreliable or fragmented, making it harder to prove who was responsible for the asset at each stage of its movement.

Operational Roadblocks in Scaling Digital Exams

Operational Roadblocks in Scaling Digital Exams

Feb 23, 2026 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
Scaling digital examinations across an institution is often presented as a straightforward technology upgrade. In reality, it is an operational shift that touches governance, infrastructure, assessment design, security, and student support. When these foundations are not aligned, institutions see disrupted sessions, uneven standards, and stakeholder pushback. To scale reliably, you need to identify the operational constraints that surface only when volume, stakes, and diversity of cohorts increase.
