How to Do Full-Text Search Across All Application Traffic with Speedscale

Jan 9, 2026 By Matthew LeRay In Speedscale
Modern DevOps observability tools are excellent for monitoring system health, tracking distributed traces, and aggregating metrics. However, they lack the fidelity needed for full-text search across application traffic. While observability platforms excel at showing what happened and when, they often fall short when you need to find where a specific piece of data (like an email address, user ID, or transaction token) appears as it flows through your entire application stack.

Speedscale vs. LocalStack for Realistic Mocks

Jan 9, 2026 By Damaso Sanoja In Speedscale
API mocking plays a crucial role in modern software development allowing developers to simulate external API endpoints. It’s an effective way to isolate your application for testing and ensure that code changes don’t inadvertently break critical dependencies. Essentially, API mocking helps you create robust, reliable software by allowing you to test how your application interacts with external services.

Guide to Sending Custom Metrics From Your Heroku Application

Jan 9, 2026 By Benjamin Pitts In MetricFire
Heroku makes it easy to deploy and operate applications without managing servers, but understanding how your application behaves internally still requires instrumentation. Platform metrics like CPU usage, memory consumption, and router request/status counts are useful, but they don’t tell you how long your code takes to run, when your app throws errors, or whether users are interacting with key features.

Recommended Experiments for Production Resilience in Harness Chaos Engineering | Harness Blog

Jan 9, 2026 By Ashutosh Bhadauriya In Harness
This guide covers battle-tested chaos experiments for Kubernetes, AWS, Azure, and GCP to help you validate production resilience before real failures happen. Start with low blast radius experiments (pod-level) and gradually progress to higher impact scenarios (node/zone failures), always defining clear hypotheses and using probes to measure results. Building reliable distributed systems isn't just about writing good code. It's about understanding how your systems behave when things go wrong.
