Tutorial: How to Use ChaosSearch with Grafana for Observability

Sep 30, 2026 By Greg Goldsmith In ChaosSearch

In my last blog post, Building a Cost-Effective Full Observability Solution Around Open APIs and CNCF Projects, we introduced using ChaosSearch in combination with the most popular open source front- and back-ends in the application observability space. In case you missed it, the TL;DR version is that you can use a variety of open source projects and open API-based components to build the best-of-breed observability stack of your choice rather than relying on expensive, all-in-one solutions.

Sep 30, 2026 By Vlad Alive In StatusGator

We’ve updated the StatusGator API v3 to help you see how many requests your integration can make and handle rate limits more smoothly. Responses that count toward your organization’s per-minute limit now include three headers: If a request exceeds your limit, the API returns 429 Too Many Requests and a Retry-After header telling your integration how many seconds to wait before trying again.

Debugging a checkout latency spike with Sentry metrics

Sep 30, 2026 By Sentry In Sentry

Checkout suddenly got a lot slower for a chunk of users, and the only clue was a spike in an application metric. In this walkthrough, we go from that spike to a linked trace that shows exactly where the time went. Using Codex alongside Sentry, we dig into the trace data, isolate the slowdown to the European backend, and follow it down to a single Stripe request that's dragging everyone down with it. Along the way, we talk through what actually helps here: caching, timeouts, async calls, and other ways to keep one slow dependency from becoming everyone's problem.

Every 404 in Your Rails App Might Be Allocating 13 MB

Sep 30, 2026 By Scout APM In Scout

A bot requests /wp-login.php on your Rails app. Rails can’t route it, raises ActionController::RoutingError, and returns a 404. That should cost almost nothing. On a Rails 8.1 app with a few thousand compiled templates, it can cost 13 MB of allocations and 27 ms of CPU. A detailed report on rails/rails#58887 traces the cost to one method, ActionDispatch::ExceptionWrapper#build_backtrace.
