As organizations continue to adopt OnPage across regions and operational environments, providing an experience that feels natural and intuitive for every user has become increasingly important. Clear communication is essential in time-sensitive workflows, and being able to use the app in one’s preferred language supports clarity, confidence, and consistency. To support our growing global user base, OnPage is introducing multi-language localization across its mobile applications.

Healthchecks.io can now classify HTTP pings from clients as start, success, or failure signals not only by URL suffixes (no suffix, /start, /fail, /{exit-status}) but also by looking for specific keywords or phrases in the HTTP request body. The content filtering feature was already available for email pings, and now it has been extended to HTTP pings as well.

As developer advocates at Grafana Labs, we’re always looking for new ways to help our users better understand and learn observability. You might remember our previous project that brought learning to life through an adventure-style game, and now we’re really excited to share something else we’ve been working on: Interactive Learning, a new way to get the technical help you need directly in Grafana.

The year 2026 is set to redefine how organizations approach asset tracking, shifting from basic location monitoring to a predictive, automated, AI-driven ecosystem. Over the past decade, industries have moved from barcode scanning to RFID and IoT-enabled visibility.

Every breakthrough begins with a question. What if we looked beyond today’s tools, buzzwords, and hype and examined the design principles shaping tomorrow’s intelligent enterprises? The What If series explores those inflection points: moments where technology meets human judgment, where automation meets accountability, and where AI begins to resemble something more like understanding than output.

When technology slows, everything does. Guests wait to check in. Travelers queue at kiosks. Shoppers refresh the page, hoping the payment goes through. Every second of downtime costs companies millions and frustrates millions more. LogicMonitor and Catchpoint have been solving that problem from different sides: one focused on the systems and infrastructure that keep businesses running, the other on the experiences and performance that users actually feel.

In 2008, I was sitting in my garage office with a simple but stubborn idea: the Internet deserved better. End users deserved better. Companies needed a way to truly understand what their customers were experiencing, not just what their servers were reporting. Digital Experience Monitoring wasn’t a category yet. But the need was unmistakable. That idea didn’t come from theory or ambition. It came from lived experiences.

Somewhere along the line, enterprises convinced themselves that buying the right “knowledge management platform” would finally fix all of the chaos. Once the tool went in, engineers would magically find the right troubleshooting steps, documentation would stay current, and institutional knowledge would move cleanly across teams without anyone having to chase it down.

For many engineering teams, an incident is a chaotic, all-hands-on-deck event. Once the incident is resolved, everyone returns to their regular work and the valuable lessons from the incident are often lost. The result is a cycle of repeated failures and engineer burnout, where incidents are something to be survived, not learned from. At Cortex, our mission is to help engineering organizations build a culture of continuous improvement.

Running Kubernetes at scale almost always means paying for more compute than you need. To protect reliability, platform and application teams typically overprovision nodes early in development and keep scaling up as they add features and workloads. They are often reluctant to move to smaller or different instance types without a clear picture of how those changes will affect performance or availability. The result is a fleet of underutilized nodes that silently inflate your cloud bill.
