Observability as Code: Why You Should You Use OaC

Key takeaways In the fast-moving world of CI/CD pipelines, microservice architectures, and container orchestration, software changes rapidly. What exists in a codebase today might be gone next week. At this scale and speed, it’s impossible for development teams to manually track every line of code and every new piece of functionality.

For others, it’s the difference between a minor hiccup and a full-scale outage. At Canonical, it means a simple, comprehensive subscription that takes care of everything, so that everything you build works the way you want it to, for all the people who love to use it.

The Fast Path to More Useful Telemetry

Over and over, we’ve seen that teams who invest in adding rich, relevant context to their telemetry end up debugging faster and collaborating more effectively during incidents.

Generating end-to-end tests with AI and Playwright MCP

When I started using Playwright, there was a single command that blew me away. I immediately became (and still am) a huge Playwright Codegen fanboy. Playwright's codegen command opens up a browser window, and whatever you do in this window will be recorded. Navigating URLs, clicking links, and filling out form elements—the Playwright inspector records all your actions and generates a Playwright test for you. Magic!

Optimize LangChain Performance with Trace Analytics

You’ve instrumented your LangChain app, and traces are now flowing into Last9. Now the issues are visible: API costs are crossing $200/day, average response times exceed 3 seconds, and performance degrades under 100 concurrent users. A single tool call adds over 2 seconds. Bloated context windows are pushing up token usage, wasting $50/day. Here’s how to use trace data to identify and fix these inefficiencies, systematically and at scale.

How to Get Grafana Iframe Embedding Right

Adding Grafana dashboards directly into your app lets users see monitoring data without switching tabs or tools. Using an iframe to embed Grafana does work, but it brings along some tricky authentication and security issues that aren’t always obvious at first. In this blog, we’ll go over the practical ways to embed Grafana dashboards from easy public snapshots to secure, private dashboards that need authentication.
