Discover the Best Free Tools to Monitor, Manage, and Visualize Your Kafka Clusters in 2025.

Vendors often compete by saying how many extensions or quick start packs they have. The implicit promise is: more integrations equals better observability. But that misses the point. What really matters is the quality and coverage of dashboards and alerts that you actually use to maintain system health, prevent outages and improve user experience. At Coralogix we believe that what you do with integrations is far more important than how many you have.

Last month, we introduced the StatusGator API v3, a complete overhaul of our API designed to give developers more flexibility, an improved data model, and deeper integration options for monitoring the status of hundreds of services. Today, we’re excited to share three major additions to v3: the Board History API, Custom Monitors API, and Status Page Subscribers API.

WebGL has turned the browser into a real-time 3D engine. The same technology behind console-quality games now powers design platforms, architectural walkthroughs, and virtual conference spaces—all without a single plugin. These 3D experiences blur the line between web and desktop, blending high-fidelity rendering with persistent interactivity and complex real-time data streams. But with that complexity comes a new operational challenge: how do you monitor it?

Top tips is a weekly column where we highlight what’s trending in the tech world and share ways to stay ahead. This week, we’re talking about something every IT team knows too well—incidents. Whether it’s a sudden server crash, a network outage, or a system slowdown right before an important client call, incidents always seem to strike at the worst possible time. No matter how strong your IT setup is, issues are bound to happen.

AWS did not intend to build Amazon EKS; it simply had to. Kubernetes adoption beamed light years ahead of AWS’s own managed container orchestration service. This forced AWS to develop a managed service to accommodate customers who wanted to use upstream Kubernetes but did not want to manage it themselves. As soon as AWS got around to it, it knocked the Kubernetes-based container management service out of the park. Not only is Amazon EKS simpler than Kubernetes, but EKS pricing may also be worth it.

At Civo Navigate London 2025, we hosted a panel discussion with Josh Mesout, James Faure, Abdul Hummaida, Jonas Vermeulen, and Daniel Miodovnik to discuss the latest trends and challenges in AI adoption. Through this conversation, the panelists covered topics such as the current state of AI adoption to the challenges of scaling AI, and the future of work.

The best way to minimize the impact of an incident is to catch it early, before small issues snowball into major disruptions. That requires maintaining healthy systems and ensuring sufficient resources are available when problems arise. But developers and IT operations pros working in large enterprises face a challenge: Complex systems operate in an inherently degraded state. In his essay “How Complex Systems Fail,” Dr.

The engineer you pay $200,000 a year just spent an hour copy-pasting data between dashboards. Again. Software engineers have critical skills that are in the highest demand. And yet, many world-class engineers are currently spending too much of their time clearing tickets, routing alerts, and responding to the same types of incidents over and over again. This operational toil is costing you.
