Whether you're a system administrator, a developer, or any other DevOps or Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) professional, you know that staying ahead in cloud-native computing is crucial. One way to keep your competitive edge in the technology game is to embrace the benefits of eBPF (Extended Berkeley Packet Filter). On top of advances in security and networking, eBPF-based tools are particularly impacting the observability landscape.

In server management, high memory utilization is more than just a metric; it’s like a lighthouse signaling potential performance degradation, service disruption, and, in severe cases, complete system downtimes. Here we delve into a recent incident involving an App Server for one of our customers, which underscores the criticality of proactive monitoring, swift incident response, and strategic problem resolution.

Structured logging is a methodical approach to log management in software development, often utilizing JSON or key-value pairs. This method enhances the comprehensibility and analytical efficiency of log data, particularly in complex and distributed system environments. Unlike unstructured logs, which lack a defined format, structured logs adhere to a standardized layout, facilitating streamlined analysis and troubleshooting.

“Mommy, where does software come from?” “Software grows in a circle, just like this!” The software development lifecycle (SDLC) is always drawn as a circle. In many places I’ve worked, there’s no discernable connection between “5. Operate” and “1. Plan.” However, at Honeycomb, there is. More on that later.
