Predicting the traffic of our #applications is as challenging as forecasting the weather. Whether it’s a sudden spike in your apps’ traffic, a set of bugs pushed in #production, or even a full-on #cyberattack, unexpected surges can bring significant consequences. We may have the facts to anticipate a solid estimate, but we can’t plan for the anomalies. This is a concern shared by many #blackfire Monitoring customers. And it’s directly linked to ensuring you have the right amount of traces to maintain your applications’ continuous instrumentation—while controlling costs.

Changes are Observability's Biggest Blind Spot

Classically, the space of observability lies within layers of information on a dashboard. It operates by using the fundamental trio of data — metrics, logs and traces — from each layer of the environment to assess the health of an IT infrastructure. However, a time component is critical, making the stack observable at any point in time. Gathering reliable data and insights into your IT infrastructure remains the primary role of observability tools and services.

Authors' Cut-No More Pipeline Blues: Accelerate CI/CD with Observability

It’s no secret that CI/CD pipelines make the lives of engineering and operations easier by accelerating the feedback loop for higher quality code and apps. They build code, run tests, and safely deploy new versions of your application. But just like any aspect of development, poor integration, invisible bottlenecks, and bugs can plague your pipelines. And debugging them? Well, it’s complicated.

The Right Car (Or Cloud Service) For Your Family (Or Work) Adventures

Managing gas bills has a lot in common with managing cloud spend. In the summer, our gas bill increased with our summer adventures. Sitting home with the kids out of school and the warm summer months was not an option. Likewise, while discounts on gas certainly help, in reality they do not put much of a dent in the overall bill. The cheapest gallon of gas is still the one not used. If you’re a modern cloud-native business, you can’t just stop using the cloud.

We have a long history of working with Java, Python, C/C++ and more recently Go, Swift and Rust.

The Software Supply Chain Risks You Need to Know

Code that an organization’s developers create is only the beginning of modern software development. In fact, first-party code is likely to be only a small proportion of an application – sometimes as little as 10% of the application’s artifact ecosystem. An enterprise’s software supply chain is made of many parts, from many sources: open source packages, commercial software, infrastructure-as-code (IaC) files, and more.
