In today’s complex distributed systems, observability has evolved from a nice-to-have feature to a mission-critical engineering discipline. Engineering teams across organizations depend on robust observability to maintain system reliability and quickly diagnose issues when they inevitably arise. However, current observability tooling significantly lags behind user expectations by failing to support a critical capability: querying across different telemetry signals.

We continue to evolve Grafana Cloud Synthetic Monitoring to help you simulate even the most complex transactions and user journeys, and proactively monitor the performance of your web applications and APIs. In line with this effort, we’re excited to share that k6 browser checks in Synthetic Monitoring are now generally available.

As an IT professional, you know that Microsoft Teams is only as good as the network it runs on. Poor call quality (choppy audio, frozen video, or sudden disconnections) can disrupt productivity and frustrate users. But how do you pinpoint the root cause? The answer lies in monitoring Microsoft Teams performance metrics.

I have just finished reviewing the Microsoft Work Trend Index Annual Report for 2025, which offers fascinating insights into the next wave of organizational evolution. I am particularly excited about the section titled ‘Journey to the Frontier Firm’ and what is possible in phase three, where employees will harness the power of multiple AI agents, creating an ‘agentic swarm’ capable of executing tasks at a scale and speed previously unimaginable.

The challenges plaguing IT operations are not new. The exponential growth of hybrid and multi-cloud environments, increasing data volume, complexity, and accelerating pace of change have made traditional approaches to IT operations unsustainable.

A public status page is a page that you can share with your team to show a summary view of your third-party dependencies. We rolled out this feature recently to all IncidentHub users. This article is a quick tour of the feature and how to set it up.

When your checkout flow breaks, customers disappear faster than most ‘cutting-edge’ JS metaframeworks. Thankfully, setting up observability for your critical paths—like a customer checkout—is painless with Sentry. Let's walk through how we instrumented, monitored, and fixed a major issue, with minimal effort.

Tech is entering another wave of innovation with AI. With accelerated innovation comes increased complexity in already disparate environments. For Defense, those complexities are compounded by the need to maintain and operate mission critical infrastructure with highly sensitive data in air-gapped environments, often running on custom digital systems and applications. Accelerating the speed of innovation with leading technology is key for the military to maintain its competitive edge.
