Your Observability Platform Has a Blind Spot: Don't Risk Your Operations on Bolt-on Incident Response Modules

May 15, 2025 By Cristina Dias In PagerDuty

Observability platforms want to do it all—from data collection to incident response. Their pitch is appealing: one platform to eliminate context switching and reduce overhead. But when critical systems fail—and they will fail—, add-on incident management modules won’t save you. You need an end-to-end system built specifically for high-stakes incident management.

CI/CD Observability Powered by OpenTelemetry

May 15, 2025 By Vibhu Pandey In SigNoz

Modern engineering teams spend a lot of time and resources in setting up monitoring of their production systems - tracking uptime, catching errors, and responding to incidents before customers ever notice. But what about the journey before code reaches production? For most teams, observing the CI/CD pipeline is either an afterthought or completely overlooked. While we recognize its importance, do we truly understand how well our CI/CD process is functioning?

Understanding Your App's Health With Core Mobile Vitals

May 15, 2025 By Bee Klimt In Honeycomb

Mobile apps are a little different from services run on servers. You build your mobile app, you ship it off to the world, and then it gets run by the end user on their own machine. If your app is running poorly on some percentage of users’ devices, you may never know. That’s where observability comes in. There are certain important metrics that every mobile app has in common.

State of the Observability Databases with Dee Kitchen (Grafana Office Hours #30)

May 15, 2025 By Grafana In Grafana

In this Grafana Office Hours, we talk about the state of observability databases (Grafana Loki, Mimir, Tempo, and Pyroscope) and where they're going. We talk about current and upcoming architectural changes in all four, how we're making them more performant, how compatible they are with OpenTelemetry, and what we're working on next for each database. In this conversation are Dee Kitchen (VP of Engineering for Databases) and Senior Developer Advocates Jay Clifford and Nicole van der Hoeven.

Contextual Observability: Using Tagging and Metadata To Unlock Actionable Insights

May 14, 2025 By Mike Simon In Splunk

Observability isn’t about collecting more telemetry — it’s about making that telemetry data meaningful. Contextual observability transforms raw telemetry into actionable insights by enriching it with consistent tagging and metadata. Without context, telemetry data remains fragmented, troubleshooting slows, and aligning with business priorities is nearly impossible.
