Colocated vs Dedicated vs Remote Servers: How to Choose the Right Hosting for Your Business Projects

Aug 29, 2025 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
Businesses have three main options for hosting servers off-premises: colocation, dedicated server hosting, and cloud (remote) hosting. In colocated hosting (colo), the customer owns the server hardware and simply rents space, power and network connectivity in a thirdparty data center. In this model, "you bring or ship your servers" to the provider's facility and lease rack space, power and bandwidthliquidweb.com.

Buy vs Build: The Technical Reality of On-Prem, Hybrid, and Cloud

Aug 21, 2025 By Chris Aubuchon In Cycle
Most conversations about buy vs build turn into budget debates. But engineers know that the deeper question is: what exactly are we signing up to run, and who is going to run it? The operating model you choose: is what defines what layers of the stack you own, what skills your team needs, and how you spend your nights on-call. This article reframes the decision around the work itself, not just the invoice.

Aug 21, 2025 By Anjali Udasi In Last9
When application performance monitoring detects a spike in latency or error rates, the immediate challenge is determining the underlying cause. APM logs address this by correlating performance metrics with the specific log events that occurred at the same time. Instead of switching between monitoring dashboards and manually searching through log files, APM log correlation consolidates both views.

A Detailed Guide to Azure Kubernetes Service Monitoring

Aug 20, 2025 By Faiz Shaikh In Last9
Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) continuously generates a high volume of telemetry, ranging from node-level CPU and memory usage to request latencies and error rates within individual pods and services. Without a structured monitoring strategy, this flood of metrics can easily become noise, leaving teams blind to early warning signs. Effective monitoring in AKS is about identifying the right signals, correlating them across layers, and acting before they impact application performance or cluster stability.

Why Your IT Automation Tool Needs to Work Both Doors... Or Get Out of the Way

Aug 19, 2025 By John Gorham In Resolve
You read that tagline correctly, and if you work in IT, you know that it’s true. Even in a time when vendors insist that more tools automatically equate to a more unified digital environment, IT automation tools handle a sliver of what IT actually needs. They focus on either user-driven requests or machine-generated incidents... but not both. That lack of cross-functionality is unacceptable when business success hinges on speed, scale, and seamless experience.

What is Real User Monitoring

Aug 19, 2025 By Anjali Udasi In Last9
Real User Monitoring (RUM) measures how real users interact with your application in production. Unlike synthetic monitoring, which relies on scripted tests, RUM collects data from actual sessions. This means performance is observed across different devices, networks, and usage patterns. The result is a clear view of how the application behaves under real conditions, where latency is introduced, which features take longer to load, and at what points users drop off.

Stop Trying To Cut Cloud Costs, Start Trying To Price AI Correctly

Aug 13, 2025 By Greg Barrette In CloudZero
Most SaaS companies aren’t spending too much on AI. They’re just completely screwing up how they price it. You feel the budget pressure. The OpenAI and Anthropic bills keep climbing. Finance is starting to twitch. So the instinct is to cut. Trim back experiments. Cap usage. Beg your team to “optimize.” You can’t cost-cut your way out of a pricing failure though. And most of the time, that’s all this is — a pricing failure.

Vibe coding with the incident.io API

Aug 5, 2025 By Article In Incident.io
Many, many years ago, I was a computer science major at the University of Illinois, hoping someday I’d be able to write code for a living. I started my career in QA hoping to learn the ins and outs of software development. But it turns out I wasn’t very good at coding. I was just good enough to get a role as a sales engineer, where all I had to do was write code that could hold together for 30 minutes in a demo.

What are Application Metrics?

Aug 4, 2025 By Anjali Udasi In Last9
Application metrics are structured, quantifiable signals that reflect how your software behaves in production. They capture key aspects of performance, response times, error rates, throughput, and resource usage, giving you a real-time view into the health of your system. Tracking the right metrics helps detect regressions early, surface latent issues before they impact users, and guide optimization decisions based on hard data, not guesswork.

Save Hours on Troubleshooting with Automated Investigations

Aug 4, 2025 By Shyam Sreevalsan In netdata
How many times has your team stared at a dashboard, pointed to a spike, and asked a question that charts alone can’t answer? “What was the real impact of that deployment?” “Why are our Kubernetes pods in the us-east-1 cluster suddenly crashing?” “Are we wasting money on overprovisioned servers?” Answering these questions is the real work of operations and SRE.

IPAM Site Mapping: Give Your Subnets a Home

Aug 4, 2025 By Amber Weaver In Tidal
Without site context, your 5-minute fix becomes a 30-minute hunt through spreadsheets and Slack channels while users wait. This isn’t just inconvenient—it’s expensive. Every minute of downtime costs your business, and every minute spent playing IP detective is a minute not spent solving the actual problem. As networks scale across cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments, this lack of infrastructure context creates real operational pain for your team.

Building your AI infra, our tips

Aug 1, 2025 By Canonical Ubuntu In Canonical
Modular architecture: Decouple compute from storage so each can scale independently. This makes it easier to adapt to growing or shifting workloads over time. Future-ready hardware: Select GPUs and CPUs not just for current workloads but with an eye on scalability, including support for newer accelerator types. Scalable design: Ensure the system allows seamless addition of compute nodes or storage without a full redesign.

Running AI without blowing up your storage

Aug 1, 2025 By Canonical Ubuntu In Canonical
Storage is often underestimated: In infrastructure discussions, compute and networking get most of the attention, while storage is treated as secondary. For AI workloads, that can be a costly oversight. Data throughput for specialized hardware: AI infrastructure powered by GPUs can process massive volumes of data at unprecedented speeds. This puts immense pressure on the storage system to keep up. Scale-out performance: An on-prem, scale-out, software-defined storage setup allows you to meet high performance demands, grow capacity as needed, and stay in control of infrastructure costs.

Librato on Heroku is Going Away and Hosted Graphite Is the Better Next Step

Aug 1, 2025 By Benjamin Pitts In MetricFire
Librato (a SolarWinds product) is being sunsetted summer of 2025, and that directly affects Heroku teams who’ve relied on the Librato add-on for “good enough” visibility into dynos, routers, and Postgres. If you’re in that group, you’ll need a replacement monitoring add-on that keeps you covered on Heroku and lets you grow beyond it without re-architecting how you ship metrics.
