Most CircleCI pipelines are configured to trigger automatically on code commits, but not every development scenario fits that model. Sometimes you need to trigger a build manually—to test pipeline changes, retry a flaky test, or run CI on a colleague’s branch—without the friction of pushing empty commits or navigating to the UI to manually trigger a build.

Easy Way to Convert Wavefront Metrics Using OpenTelemetry

Once upon a time in the world of metrics, Wavefront was a pioneer. Before Prometheus took over and tools like OpenTelemetry unified tracing and metrics, Wavefront brought something novel to the table: human-readable metrics with real-time querying and tag-based dimensionality. In enterprise environments running VMware or early microservices, it offered a scalable way to understand a system's behavior. But as the telemetry landscape evolved, many systems that spoke Wavefront were left behind.

According to some reports, nearly 60% of organizations use containers for most or all of their production applications. It’s no surprise really, as containers provide consistency and standardization across the lifecycle while speeding up delivery pipelines. They revolutionized how we develop and deploy apps in the cloud and there is no sign of this changing anytime soon.

A Simple Guide to Monitoring and Optimizing Prometheus CPU Usage

Prometheus is supposed to help you monitor your stack, not become the thing you need to monitor. But if you’ve ever seen it spike in CPU and slow everything down, you know that’s not always the case. High Prometheus CPU usage usually shows up when you're scraping too many metrics, using expensive queries, or running with default configs that don’t fit your workload. This guide covers how to track Prometheus CPU usage, what typically causes it, and how to fix it.
