When you monitor a website at Oh Dear, the monitoring also includes the historical performance insights that belong to that monitor. It gives you a historical overview of the speed of that monitor, allowing you to see anomalies and changes over time. As of today, there's a second view available, one that matches the webbrowser visualisation of the timing of a single request. This view shows the same waterfall information you'd find in Chrome or Firefox, providing a familiar view to developers worldwide.

Modern systems move fast. Features ship daily, user behavior shifts hourly, and risks surface in minutes. In that reality, logs are not just a troubleshooting artifact. They are your most expressive data source. Logs capture the words developers write to their future selves. They carry the full story of requests, users, experiments, errors, feature flags, and revenue events.

Enterprises like yours have sunk considerable time and money into trying to stitch together automation. This pattern is always the same: someone buys a variety of IT tools, and a small team of specialists spends months wiring them together. One tool tries to understand human language while another launches a workflow. Between them sits a tangle of mappings, connectors, triggers, and “custom glue” that only one engineer understands. That’s not automation, though.

In IT, change is the only constant, and sometimes it arrives as a major disruption. This could include a power outage, a cyberattack, or even a global pandemic. While it’s impossible to foresee every crisis, you can be ready for them. Two key concepts for this are business continuity and business resilience. Although these terms are often used interchangeably, they refer to two separate yet complementary strategies for ensuring your organization keeps operating under any circumstances.

The concept of digital sovereignty has become increasingly important in today's technology-driven world. As organizations rely more heavily on cloud services and artificial intelligence (AI), they face new challenges in maintaining control over their data and IT resources. At Civo Navigate London, we brought together industry leaders to discuss the topic of digital sovereignty and its implications for the cloud industry.

Most developers spend too much time digging through tabs and switching between tools, rather than actually writing code. According to an IDC survey, only 16% of their week goes to coding, while the rest is lost to what researchers call “organizational inefficiencies” – all those little things that slow teams down.

As we move toward 2026, observability is evolving from an engineering luxury to an operational necessity. Modern applications span microservices, containers, APIs, and data pipelines and when something breaks, users expect instant recovery. That urgency is fueling rapid market growth. According to Market.us, the Global Data Observability Market is projected to reach several billion dollars by 2033, growing at a CAGR exceeding 20% between 2024 and 2033.
