How to Improve MariaDB Performance: Track Slow Queries with Logs and Metrics

Sep 5, 2025 By Benjamin Pitts In MetricFire
Database latency rarely starts in your app layer because it’s almost always a query doing more work than it should. Metrics tell you when that happens, but slow-query logging tells you which statement did it and how. That’s gold for tracking down missing indexes, inefficient filters, or accidental full scans. Pair the logging with a some lightweight counter metrics, and you get both an early warning and a clear path to a fix.

Synthetic Monitoring for Vibe Coded Apps: Why You Need It

Sep 5, 2025 By Dotcom-Monitor In Dotcom-Monitor
Not all software is the product of rigid planning, extensive documentation, and carefully designed test pipelines. Some of it emerges in bursts of intuition, created by small teams or individuals who prioritize momentum over process.

Tiger teams: How we tackle urgent, cross-functional challenges at Grafana Labs

Sep 5, 2025 By Summer Wollin In Grafana
A year ago, we hit a wall. Our Grafana OSS releases were excruciating to execute. The process was confusing and hard to follow, security patches were non-trivial, and many engineering hours were lost to an overly manual process. We needed to move fast, cut through ambiguity, and pull in just the right people without waiting on roadmaps or org charts.

Sep 5, 2025 By Gremlin In Gremlin
Proactive reliability not only prevents costly outages, it also means your engineers are less stressed so they do their best work. Full transcript: It's not only helping when outages occur, but it's also helping reduce outages. It's this whole culture of blamelessness, right? And oftentimes, when you're in an environment where people are pointing fingers and saying, "Whose fault was it? And why is this thing broken?" and all these other things that are stressing you out.

Kubernetes Monitoring Metrics That Improve Cluster Reliability

Sep 5, 2025 By Anjali Udasi In Last9
A Kubernetes cluster can generate more than 1,400 metrics out of the box. That’s a lot of numbers to sift through, especially when you’re troubleshooting a production slowdown in the middle of the night. The key is knowing which metrics tell you the most, with the least noise. These are the signals worth paying attention to when you need answers fast.
