Your metrics, your way: Announcing custom views in Engineering Intelligence

Every engineering organization measures success differently. A dashboard that’s perfect for one team might be meaningless for another. While out-of-the-box views for DORA are a great starting point, leaders need the ability to define and share the specific combination of metrics that matter most to their business. Without this, you're either forcing your teams to conform to generic reports or wasting time rebuilding the same views every week.

Announcing the AI chief of staff for engineering leaders

You see MTTR creeping up, but you don’t know why. You could ask your teams, but that means meetings, pulling people off projects, and waiting days for answers. What if you could just…ask? We’re excited to introduce the new strategic AI chief of staff for engineering leadership, powered by the Cortex MCP. By connecting your Engineering Intelligence data with your scorecards and standards, the MCP allows you to have a strategic conversation about your organization’s performance.

Implement Distributed Tracing with Spring Boot 3

A slow checkout request. A background job stuck waiting on another service. A log message that looks fine — until performance drops. In a Node.js microservices setup, these are the moments that test your observability. You know something's wrong, but tracing the request across dozens of services feels impossible. Distributed tracing changes that. It connects every span in the request's journey, showing exactly where time is spent and where things start to break down.

What Is SolarWinds, And Should You Use It?

Downtime is brutally expensive and damaging. Enterprises can lose about $9,000 every minute systems are down, while smaller businesses lose hundreds of dollars per minute. A single outage can often cost over $100,000, and nearly a third of companies lose customers due to downtime. That’s why many organizations turn to platforms like SolarWinds to maintain reliable systems and minimize the risk of costly disruptions.

Could AI Turn Back The Clock On IT Departments?

I recently wrote about the impending SaaS crisis, driven by companies’ newfound ability to use AI to build software they used to have to buy. I predicted this phenomenon would make it even harder for SaaS vendors to drive growth, and that elite SaaS margins would fall from the mid-70s to the mid-60s as companies leaned more into their data and AI.

Implementing image recognition with React and continuous deployment

Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into web applications can significantly enhance user experience. AI offers features like image recognition to process and analyze user-uploaded images. Combining this with a robust continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline using CircleCI ensures seamless updates and reliable delivery. In this article, you will learn how to build a React app that uses TensorFlow.js for client-side image recognition and set up automated testing with CircleCI.
