Observability metrics provide insights into the performance, behavior, and health of applications, systems, and infrastructure — enabling observability practices, which is how a system’s internal state is understood by examining its data. As organizations continue to collect more and more data, observability metrics are a key telemetry signal for observability.

A recently discovered security vulnerability requires attention from development teams using Next.js in production environments. Let’s discuss the vulnerability and look at a practical HAProxy solution that you can implement with just a single line of configuration. These solutions are easy, safe, and incredibly fast to deploy while planning more comprehensive framework updates.

A few weeks ago, we introduced anomaly alerts to early adopters. Today, we’re excited to announce that anomaly alerts are officially in open beta and available to all Sentry users on the Trial, Business, or Enterprise plans.

While incidents like last year’s CrowdStrike outage tend to dominate headlines, far more often, the real battle for Internet Resilience isn’t fought on a global stage. It’s waged in the shadows of financial districts, within overloaded cloud data centers, or a rural ISP’s overtaxed peering points. Traditional monitoring tools, designed for broad strokes, miss these hyper-specific failures.

Regulatory compliance is a moving target, and keeping up with evolving security policies and industry regulations can feel like a never-ending battle. Manual network audits? They’re slow, error-prone, and a major time sink. But skipping them isn’t an option—compliance failures can lead to security breaches, hefty fines, and reputational damage. So, how can IT teams ensure they stay ahead without burning out? The answer: automation and real-time observability.

Network operations centers (NOCs) are under increasing pressure to improve efficiency, reduce downtime, and accelerate incident resolution. Yet many struggle to define a clear NOC automation strategy. When your team is deep in the trenches, it’s easy to lose sight of the long term: The answers lie within our framework: the Resolve Capabilities Model. This model was developed in tandem with customer conversations about NOC automation, aspirations, broader tech challenges, and more.

Across companies of all shapes and sizes, observability practices are maturing and getting attention at the highest levels. At the same time, cost and complexity continue to hinder efforts as teams look to emerging tools to help simplify their processes in hopes of better outcomes. With so much in flux, we went into our third annual Observability Survey hoping to get a window into the ways the community is approaching observability and where it wants it to go next.

Have you ever dealt with an outage in the middle of the night with no clear cause? Or struggled to understand why your application suddenly slowed down? End-to-end monitoring helps you connect the dots, ensuring you’re not left guessing when things go wrong.

Have you ever struggled with systems that fail to tell you what went wrong? The kind where you’re digging through logs at 2 AM while alerts keep piling up. In DevOps, clear visibility into your applications isn’t a luxury—it’s essential. This is where instrumentation without code changes can help. It simplifies observability, reducing the manual effort needed to track down issues. If you haven’t explored it yet, you might be making troubleshooting harder than it needs to be.

You've got systems spitting out more logs, metrics, and traces than you can handle. Your monitoring costs are through the roof. And somehow, when something breaks at 3 AM, you still can't find the exact data you need. Sound familiar? Welcome to the observability pipeline conversation—no jargon, no fluff.
