Debugging Node.js HTTP Requests
HTTP is the backbone of all API-centric, modern web apps. APIs are the place where the core business logic of an application lives. As a result, developers spend a lot of time optimizing the API business logic. This article addresses a Node.js developer’s dilemma while debugging an HTTP API request. We take a sample Node.js/Express.js-based HTTP service to demonstrate a new way of debugging Node.js applications using the Lightrun observability platform.

Replay Data from Azure Blob with Cribl Stream
One of the core features of Cribl Stream is the Replay capability. We pride ourselves on giving customers choice and control over their data. The ability to archive data in cheap object storage, and then providing the ability to reach into the same object storage is one example of this. It’s safe to say that S3 and AWS have become synonymous with the term object storage. It’s like a modern-day Kleenex, or Band-Aid. However, it’s important to remember that there are other, equally featured object storage options available. In this video, we’ll walk through an example of Replay with Azure Blob, and view logs within Humio.
Changes are Observability's Biggest Blind Spot
Classically, the space of observability lies within layers of information on a dashboard. It operates by using the fundamental trio of data — metrics, logs and traces — from each layer of the environment to assess the health of an IT infrastructure. However, a time component is critical, making the stack observable at any point in time. Gathering reliable data and insights into your IT infrastructure remains the primary role of observability tools and services.
