Migrate to Azure Managed Redis with Datadog and Eden

Azure Managed Redis is a Microsoft first-party, fully managed in-memory data store, replacing Azure Cache for Redis tiers. It includes Redis Enterprise features such as RediSearch for vector search and full-text search, in addition to RedisJSON, RedisTimeSeries, and Active Geo-Replication. As Azure Cache for Redis reaches end of life, more teams are planning migrations to Azure Managed Redis in search of better performance, lower cost, and modern capabilities for AI and real-time workloads.

What a Forrester TEI study on Edwin AI actually tells IT leaders-and how to use it

This blog helps IT leaders use the Forrester Consulting TEI study as a practical framework for evaluating Edwin AI in their own environments. A Total Economic Impact study is useful for one, critical reason: it takes a broad technology claim and turns it into a financial and operational framework. That matters in AI for IT operations because the market is crowded with claims. Every platform says it reduces noise. Every platform says it improves efficiency. Every platform says it helps teams move faster.

15 DevOps Metrics Every Engineering Team Should Track in 2026

Software moves from code to production more quickly today, but it is still difficult to tell whether delivery is actually improving or just becoming more active. Most teams rely on dashboards filled with metrics like deployments, uptime, failures, and tickets. The numbers are available, but the meaning behind them is often unclear. DevOps metrics become useful only when grouped into clear categories: DORA metrics cover only delivery speed and stability, which is just part of the picture.

There Is No Good Spring Boot Alternative (Unless You're Doing One of These Three Things)

Every few months a new "we migrated off Spring Boot" post washes across r/java or DZone. The numbers are always impressive. 60% memory reduction, 85% faster startup, cloud bill cut in half. The comments are always full of developers convinced they should be doing the same thing. Is Spring Boot really that bad now? I decided to do my own research. I read every credible public migration case study I could find. I ran benchmarks. I built the internal business case for switching two of our services.

Why Modern Enterprises Still Get Blindsided And How Business Process Observability Changes That

Traditional observability misses business failures Modern monitoring tools can show that systems are technically healthy while critical business outcomes are quietly failing. Business Process Observability (BPO) closes this gap by tracking entire business transactions, like orders, payments, and shipments, instead of just infrastructure and application metrics.

Your telemetry, your apps. Inside apps on the Cribl Platform

You already use Cribl to tame your telemetry data. Now you can turn that data into apps your teams actually want to use. In this video, we walk through how to create apps in the Cribl Platform and show how real apps solve real problems: guided troubleshooting for noisy incidents, opinionated security views, and exec-friendly ROI dashboards. You’ll see how apps sit on top of Cribl Stream, Edge, Search, and Lake, so you reuse the data and logic you already have instead of building custom tools from scratch.

498 Fake FIFA World Cup Domains and How Phishing Sentinel Catches Them

The FBI published a warning last week. Threat actors have registered more than 498 fake domains tied to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Fake ticket sites. Fake job listings. Fake merchandise stores. All live in DNS right now. Every one of those domains is catchable. Not after victims report fraud. Before anyone gets hurt. That is what DNS Spy’s Phishing Sentinel is built to do.

High-cardinality metrics at scale: why the standard playbook is wrong

The “high cardinality is expensive” sentence has become observability’s version of “in this economy” — said so often that nobody questions whether it’s true. Every vendor pricing page invokes it. Every glossary article repeats it. Every architecture diagram shows aggregation buffers placed before the storage layer.
