This is the first post in a 3-part series about shifting Observability left. When it comes to the reliability and performance of your applications, compromise is not an option in the world of software development. This is where observability can help developers achieve a more robust and scalable infrastructure.

Elastic is transforming the log experience to meet the needs of modern workflows In the absence of other observability signals, generally everything in your infrastructure (hardware, software, and services) emits log lines. Logs, however, are often structured at a developer’s whim and, first and foremost, serve the developer’s needs (e.g., debugging).

For businesses reliant on customers’ positive digital experiences to achieve their goals, the seamless operation of cloud applications and infrastructure is paramount for financial success. Observability holds a pivotal role in modern enterprises, offering critical insights into your IT system’s health and performance. However, persistent issues of complexity and high costs have plagued the observability landscape.

Following good practices in the Day 0, Day 1, and Day 2 software development lifecycle can help you create a consistent environment that is easier to maintain. In this blog, we will deepen your understanding of how to make Day 2 operations succeed, and how high performing teams put Puppet to work on Day 2 to make a stronger, less manual, software development lifecycle.

In the fast-paced realm of incident management and response, the need to stay ahead is more vital than ever. In recognition of this, BigPanda has significantly enhanced the Unified Console, introducing a suite of new features designed to revolutionize incident handling. Let’s explore these transformative updates and how they can redefine your approach to incident management.

Networks are the lifeblood of organizations. They facilitate data flow, applications, and services while keeping operations running smoothly. However, there’s a critical challenge that often goes unnoticed – network visibility gaps. Progress WhatsUp Gold release 2023.1, available as of December 19, 2023, is set to change that. This release includes several exciting updates meant to close gaps in Network Visibility.

All incident.io developers are given a MacBook which they use for their development work. That meant when Apple released the M3 MacBook Pros in October, people naturally started asking questions like “wow, how much more productive might I be if my laptop looked that good?” and “perhaps we’d be more secure if our machines were Space Black 🤔” Pete’s (our CTO) response to this was “if you can prove it’s worthwhile, we’ll do it”

Modern systems look very different than they did years ago. For the most part, development organizations have moved away from building traditional monoliths towards developing containerized applications running across a highly distributed infrastructure. While this change has made systems inherently more resilient, the increase in overall complexity has made it more important and more challenging to effectively identify and address problems at their root cause when issues occur.
