Observability vs Monitoring: Enhancing, Not Replacing

May 21, 2025 By Jan Schuppik In Icinga
In the dynamic world of IT operations, a common misconception has emerged: Observability vs Monitoring is often framed as a battle where one replaces the other. At Icinga, where open-source monitoring is our expertise, we aim to clarify this misunderstanding. Observability doesn’t supplant monitoring—it complements and enhances it.

Prevent pipeline collisions with serial groups in CircleCI

May 21, 2025 By Jacob Schmitt In CircleCI
In a single pipeline, it’s easy to control job order. But in a large engineering org with dozens of pipelines, hundreds of contributors, and countless shared environments and services, that control can start to slip. Pipelines interfere with each other. Deploys overlap. Test environments break. Someone merges code, triggers a build, and gets a failure they can’t reproduce. Unfortunately, this kind of instability is a routine byproduct of scale.
