How to Reduce Your Cloud Costs with Coroot

Cloud costs often grow quietly until they suddenly command everyone’s attention. Gartner estimates that companies overspend on cloud services by up to 70 percent, mostly because they lack clear visibility into where the money is actually being spent.

Golang Monitoring Guide - Traces, Logs, APM and Go Runtime Metrics

Golang (Go) applications are known for their high performance, concurrency model, and efficient resource use, making Go an easy choice for building modern distributed systems.

In the age of AI, measurement becomes our superpower

The last few years have felt less like a product roadmap and more like a scene from science fiction. Artificial intelligence didn’t simply arrive, it erupted. In what feels like a blink, we’re building software by prompting instead of programming. Our words now generate code, compose music, translate languages, and create entire digital experiences.

New features: Introducing Metrics Usage and Query Usage analyzers

As teams grow and telemetry scales, it becomes harder to keep track of which metrics matter. Labels pile up, cardinality increases, and costs start rising faster than anyone expected. At the same time, dashboards often stay quiet and alerts go untouched. The truth is, most teams don’t actually know how and how much of their metric data is being used, let alone which metrics are driving cost. This is exactly the problem we set out to solve.

How to Monitor Unmanaged Networks & Remote Workers

Your remote developer can't access the VPN. Is it his home router? His ISP? Your network? You have no idea and no way to find out. This is the reality of modern IT. Your network doesn't end at your office perimeter. It extends into hundreds of homes, coffee shops, branch offices, and third-party locations you'll never set foot in. And when performance tanks, you're troubleshooting blind.
