From Silos to Collaboration: How to Democratize Data in Product Analytics

Companies who develop software products generate massive quantities of product performance and user engagement data that can be analyzed to support decision-making about everything from feature planning and UX design to sales, marketing, and customer support.

Code Instrumentation Practices to Improve Debugging Productivity

Code instrumentation is closely tied to debugging. Ask one of the experienced developers and they will swear by it for their day-to-day debugging needs. With modest beginnings in the form of print statements that label program execution checkpoints, present-day developers employ a host of advanced techniques for code instrumentation. When carried out in the right way, it improves developer productivity and also reduces the number of intermediate build/deployment cycles for every bug fix.

This post focuses on their experiences and the benefits they are getting from our suite of products. In a past life, I was in charge of security and operational logging at Transunion — around 2015, things started going crazy.

Monitoring Disks: Understanding Workload, Performance, Utilization, Saturation, and Latency

Netdata provides a comprehensive set of charts that can help you understand the workload, performance, utilization, saturation, latency, responsiveness, and maintenance activities of your disks. In this blog we will focus on monitoring disks as block devices, not as filesystems or mount points. The Disks section in the Overview tab contains all the charts that are mentioned in this blog post.

Cloud Cost Management Demo

Growing cloud costs are a new constraint and challenge for many DevOps, FinOps, and Cloud Platform teams. Cloud Cost Management delivers granular cost data, scoped to the services developers own, so that engineers can take action on cost data. By unifying cost and observability data, engineering teams can quickly understand the root cause of cost changes, identify wasteful spend in their environment, and empower everyone across their organization to become a cost owner.

Monitoring to Infinity and Beyond - How Netdata Scales Without Limits

Scalability is crucial for monitoring systems as it ensures that they can accommodate growth, maintain performance, provide flexibility, optimize costs, enhance fault tolerance, and support informed decision-making, all of which are critical for effective infrastructure management.
