How does observability enhance operations in cloud native voice networks?

Apr 24, 2025 By Rich Krizan In Ribbon
The 17th century saw the onset of the Scientific Revolution. It was a time of knowledge explosion. During this time, scientific practices were still evolving, with no universally accepted protocols for data collection and analysis. Individuals documented any observation, resulting in the collection of massive amounts of information, but much of it was hard to leverage to draw useful conclusions. The development of the scientific method provided a common approach to capturing and analyzing data.

The Role of Observability in Modern DevOps Pipelines

The Role of Observability in Modern DevOps Pipelines

Apr 24, 2025 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
DevOps has radically transformed how organizations build and deploy software, enabling faster delivery with greater reliability. Within this transformation, observability has emerged as a critical foundation for success. Unlike traditional monitoring that simply tracks known metrics, observability provides deep visibility into complex systems, allowing teams to understand and troubleshoot issues they couldn't anticipate. This shift represents much more than a technical evolution - it's a fundamental change in how organizations approach system health and performance.

How Much Should I Be Spending On Observability?

Apr 23, 2025 By Charity Majors In Honeycomb
I recently wrote an update to my old piece on the cost of observability, on how much you should spend on observability tooling. The answer, of course, is “it’s complicated.” Really, really complicated. Some observability platforms are approaching AWS levels of pricing complexity these days.

Traces & Spans: Observability Basics You Should Know

Apr 23, 2025 By Anjali Udasi In Last9
In modern software architecture, applications aren't just getting bigger—they're getting more distributed. With microservices, serverless functions, and containers running across multiple environments, understanding what's happening inside your systems can feel like trying to track a single raindrop in a storm. That's where traces and spans come in. These observability tools aren't just buzzwords—they're your secret weapon for making sense of complex distributed systems.

How to get started with frontend observability: A quick Grafana Faro example

Apr 23, 2025 By Bukola Ayodele In Grafana
Modern cloud-native applications and web browsers are highly complex, making it challenging to gain visibility into their performance. Without an effective way to track and measure frontend performance, it becomes difficult to monitor real user experiences, detect critical issues, assess website health, and ensure optimal functionality. But what if you could see exactly what your users are experiencing in real time?

Troubleshooting Java Applications with Coroot

Apr 22, 2025 By Nikolay Sivko In Coroot
Java applications run on top of the JVM — a powerful but complex runtime environment that re-implements many OS features. It has its own memory management, garbage collector, and dynamic code compiler (JIT). While these features help with performance and portability, they often make troubleshooting a real challenge. At Coroot, we recently improved our support for continuous profiling in JVM-based applications.

New Feature: Manage Your session.id in Honeycomb's Web SDK

Apr 22, 2025 By Ken Rimple In Honeycomb
The session.id field is special in Honeycomb for Frontend Observability. It’s a default option for filtering and grouping, and it’s the basis for session timeline analysis (in Early Access). Now you can control how session.id is set. In prior releases (< 0.15.0) of the Honeycomb Web SDK, we used our own UUID generator for session.id, and it was not accessible outside of the Web SDK itself. As of version 0.15.0, we give you full control.

Data Strategy for SREs and Observability Teams

Apr 21, 2025 By Irving Popovetsky In Honeycomb
In Honeycomb’s Customer Architects team, we work with the full spectrum of team, scope, and budget sizes. “The data isn’t valuable enough” is something we’re always dismayed to hear, but we hear it often enough. The thing is, as much as we want it to not be true, no product or tool can magically maximize the value of your telemetry data—at least not without gobs of human input, oversight, and review.
