Ensuring Business Continuity in Adverse Conditions

Businesses will always face disruptions. Whether it's a big storm, a broken supply chain, or a power outage, unexpected problems can bring operations to a halt, hurting your income, your reputation, and how much customers trust you. The companies that make it through these tough times, and those that don't, often come down to one thing: resilience. Being a resilient organization isn't about building an unshakeable fortress. It's about being flexible, thinking ahead, and having the right systems to bounce back when disruptions occur.

Migrating Workloads and Performance Issues in Public Cloud

When on-premises capacity runs short, public cloud tends to be the first option infrastructure teams reach for. It is quick to provision, removes the hardware procurement problem, and sidesteps the question of what to do with an ageing estate. What it does not settle is whether migrated workloads will perform as the business requires once they are live in production, or whether the recovery design has kept pace with where services now sit.

Imaginary Test Data. Real Token Bill.

Ask an AI for K-pop concert advice without saying the group, city, date, or budget. It may confidently send you to a BLACKPINK tribute night in Cleveland with a $400 resale ticket. The AI was plenty confident. It just had nothing real to go on. That is exactly what happens when developers test AI applications with invented traffic. The test may look reasonable. The result may even pass.

Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM): Complete Guide to Improving User Experience

Digital experiences have become the primary way customers interact with businesses, public services and organizations. Whether customers are shopping online, accessing banking services, booking appointments, or using SaaS platforms, their perception of a brand is increasingly shaped by the performance and reliability of its digital services. This is where digital experience monitoring (DEM) becomes essential. Even minor performance issues can have significant business impacts.

How to monitor your Supabase projects: connect Grafana Cloud in one click

As AI agents accelerate software development and spin up applications at scale, visibility into what's happening behind the scenes, including query performance and database health, has never been more important. Gaining that level of insight requires observability that can keep pace.

A new allowlists design for Grafana Cloud IP addresses: What you need to know

If your network restricts inbound or outbound traffic, you likely maintain an allowlist of Grafana Cloud IP addresses so your systems and Grafana Cloud can talk to each other. Today we're introducing a new allowlists design: a single, structured API that replaces the collection of per-product lists we've published until now. If you don't use IP allowlisting—or you connect to Grafana Cloud over private connectivity such as AWS PrivateLink—nothing changes for you, and no action is needed.

Provision Datadog on Stripe Projects

Stripe Projects reduces the manual work of setting up, managing, and paying for third-party SaaS solutions. You can now use it to get started with Datadog in just two commands: If your Stripe account has a verified email address, running those commands in the Stripe CLI gives you a Datadog organization with a 14-day free trial and an automatically generated API key that is ready to use. You avoid email verification loops, tab-switching to copy an API key out of a dashboard, and lengthy sign-up forms.

AI gateway best practices: Model routing, reliability, and budget controls for production agents

Organizations are increasingly using multiple models to build AI agents in order to find the best balance of performance and cost for each agentic task and LLM call. As we discovered in the 2026 State of AI Engineering report, there isn’t currently a clear winner in terms of adoption among competing models and many organizations are keeping older models in flight despite frequent new releases.
