Save the logs, save the planet: How to make your observability stack greener

If data centres were a country, they’d rank fifth in electricity consumption by 2026. Over the past few years, the resulting carbon footprint of the technology industry has sparked the fast-growing green software movement, led by the Green Software Foundation. How can we continue to innovate software in a way that also minimises its impact on the environment? This has been a fascinating problem I’ve been exploring for a few years now.

How Inkeep Monitors Their AI Agent Framework with SigNoz

AI agents are fundamentally different beasts to monitor compared to traditional applications. A single user request can trigger a cascade of 10+ internal operations: sub-agent transfers, tool executions, LLM calls, API requests, each with unpredictable latency and failure modes. When something goes wrong (and with LLMs, things go wrong in creative ways), you need to see the entire execution flow to debug effectively.

What Broken Checkouts Really Cost: Why Transaction Monitoring Pays For Itself

Broken checkouts lead to lost transactions, drain revenue, undermine customer trust, and damage brand credibility. Unfortunately, most companies don't realize their checkout is failing until sales drop or customers start complaining. According to statistics, technical issues cause checkout abandonment in at least 17% of cases. This means nearly one-fifth of lost conversions are preventable. For any online business, even a small checkout failure can result in significant revenue loss.

Complete web Performance Strategy with Web Synthetic Monitoring

You’ve optimized your code, implemented caching strategies, and configured your CDN perfectly. Your analytics dashboard shows respectable load times, and your development team reports everything is running smoothly. Yet, conversion rates remain stagnant, bounce rates climb during peak hours, and your competitors consistently outperform you in user experience metrics. What’s missing?

Reporting Exceptions to Honeycomb with Frontend Observability

So you've built a client application and you've started sending telemetry. The information sent back by this client is vital to you, and one of the first things you care about is capturing and reporting errors. There are at least two ways to report error details in OpenTelemetry. Web applications generally place exceptions in trace spans as span events, and mobile applications send exceptions as log messages instead.

OpenTelemetry Metrics with 5 Practical Examples

Picture this, your observability tool already nails the basics like request rates, latency and memory usage, but you need more insight. Think user churn rates, engagement spikes, or even how many carts get abandoned mid-checkout. That’s where OpenTelemetry steps in, providing a way to track those critical custom metrics with ease.
