Aug 12, 2026 By Poonam Lalani In Motadata
How do you resolve an outage your organization has no authority to fix? A managed database drops into read-only mode and stops accepting writes.

Aug 12, 2026 By Tomas Koprusak In Uptime Robot
If your API answers on QUERY, you can now point a monitor straight at it. QUERY joins HEAD, GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, and OPTIONS in the HTTP method list for HTTP, keyword, and API monitors. You can find it under the “Advanced settings” when editing or adding your monitor. QUERY became a standard in June 2026 as RFC 10008. It’s safe, idempotent, and it carries a request body.

Riya has managed IT operations at a mid-sized FinTech company for six years. She knows the infrastructure inside out: Every server, monitoring alert, and compliance requirement is owned by her team. So when Riya heard the engineering lead mention their new internal developer platform in a quarterly review, she assumed her team would be looped in eventually. This did not happen. Three months later, Riya's team was called in to investigate an outage.
