Welcome back to Uptime.com! In this video, we explore best practices for configuring Transaction Checks to simulate user actions on your website. Learn how to build reliable scripts with a series of commands and validators using our no-code Transaction Check Recorder or your developer tools. We cover essential tips like keeping checks streamlined, using 'wait for' commands to ensure element readiness, and validating URL transitions. Follow along as we set up a simple 7-step check to validate the Uptime.com domain health tool.

Co-founder of DevOps Days, O11y, Inuits, and pivotal instigator of the DevOps movement Kris Buytaert explains why “observability best practices” starts with functioning monitoring and common mistakes to avoid.

Kris Buytaert is the Co-founder of Inuits, O11y, and ‘DevOps Days,’ an internationally-attended series of DevOps events. He is a passionate advocate of Free and Open Source Software, and is accredited by the community as being a founding instigator of the DevOps movement. In this episode we trace the history of the DevOps movement from its intersection with open source and Agile, through the evolution of Cloud technologies and tools such Docker and Kubernetes, to present day best practices for CI/CD, monitoring, and observability.

Big Tent hosts Mat Ryer and Tom Wilkie talk with Marco Pracucci (Grafana Labs), Cyril Tovena (Grafana Labs), and Ryan Worl (WarpStream/Confluent) about building Sigyn (the internal code name for Mimir’s next-gen architecture), public, open source, and designed for lower TCO and stronger reliability. They cover gapless consumption, predictable partitioning, new “block builder” components, and the practical realities of migrating “mid-flight.”

While analyzing network traffic, we found huge amounts of telemetry including chat snippets, being sent to statsig.anthropic.com. The irony? Statsig was recently acquired by OpenAI. In this video, we use proxymock to intercept the traffic and show you exactly what’s being sent from your terminal to Anthropic (and technically, OpenAI’s infrastructure).

Everyone is talking about Claude Code, but few people understand the machinery running in the background. Today, we’re opening up the terminal to see how Anthropic’s coding agent manages state, runs tests, and fixes its own bugs. From the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to its unique React-based terminal UI, find out what makes Claude Code the most "senior" feeling AI assistant on the market.

Learn how to set up an Uptime.com Real user Monitoring check. There’s more to website performance than “up/down” statuses. Use RUM to leverage the data collected from past user experiences to optimize for future ones.

Looking back at 2025, we can’t help but smile. More than just breakthrough technology, this year was defined by incredible collaboration. From the energy at our biggest HAProxyConf ever to the daily feedback that keeps us sharp, your engagement drives every innovation. We tackled some heavy lifting this year, but seeing how those solutions are already making a real difference for your infrastructure made it all worthwhile.
