That is really the true definition of reliability these people that are constantly hands-on keyboard in charge of making sure that people like myself and like you aren't impacted when we're going to, for example, buy a new pair of sneakers, or we're going to get some sort of limited edition release that's coming out, right?

Aug 14, 2025 By Daniel Efe In CircleCI
As developers, we continually strive to improve our software. This often means rolling out new software features at a rapid pace. However, deploying new features to production is not without risk.

Aug 14, 2025 By Article In Incident.io
I joined incident.io about ten weeks ago, having been in my previous role for four and a half years. Being a new starter was an unusual feeling for me, and there's been a huge amount to learn; but by lunch on my second day (!) I had started shipping value to our customers.

AI in observability at Grafana Labs: Making observability easy and accessible for everyone

Aug 14, 2025 By Mat Ryer In Grafana
Did you know that observability has been around for more than six decades? It all goes back to a Hungarian-American inventor named Rudolf Kálmán who thought about how external outputs could measure the internal state of a machine.
