Cloud adoption has accelerated dramatically over the past few years - and with it, so has the attack surface for cybercriminals.

GitHub outage on April 23, 2026

Apr 24, 2026 By Colin Bartlett In StatusGator
On April 23, 2026, the first signs of trouble with GitHub did not come from its status page. They came from users. As reports began surfacing across developer communities, including discussions on Hacker News, engineers described failed workflows and unexplained server errors. At that point, GitHub had not yet acknowledged any issue. StatusGator, however, was already seeing the pattern and issued an Early Warning Signal at 14:33 UTC.

A Bettter Way to Run Network Operations: How Actionable Correlation Eliminates Alert Chaos

Apr 24, 2026 By Dallon Robinette In Selector
Anyone who has spent time in a NOC knows how quickly a routine issue can turn into a scramble. A user in a branch office reports that a critical application is unavailable. Slack starts lighting up, dashboards begin to fill with warnings, and before long several teams are trying to answer the same basic question at once: what exactly is broken, where is it broken, and who owns the next move?

How is Agentic AI fundamentally different from earlier automation?

Apr 24, 2026 By Virtana In Virtana
Autonomous operations has been the goal for years. But most “automation” never got us there—it just helped teams keep up. Now that’s changing. Agentic AI introduces a fundamentally different model:– Purpose-built agents, not static workflows– Real-time decisioning, not predefined rules– Collaboration across agents, not isolated tasks Instead of automating steps, agentic AI enables systems to **reason, adapt, and act**—at a speed and scale humans simply can’t match. That’s what turns autonomous operations from a long-standing ambition into something actually achievable.

Database Performance Monitoring: Query-Level Visibility Across 14+ Databases

Apr 24, 2026 By Shyam Sreevalsan In netdata
Netdata has always collected database metrics: connections, throughput, replication lag, buffer cache hit ratios, and so on. These tell you that something is wrong, but they don’t tell you why. When your PostgreSQL response time spikes, the metric alone doesn’t tell you which query is responsible. For that, you’ve traditionally needed to SSH into the box, connect to the database, and run diagnostic queries manually. Or set up a separate database monitoring tool entirely.

Apr 24, 2026 By Andrii Kernitskyi In Obkio
Every minute a network incident goes unresolved costs your company money. Lost productivity, missed SLAs, degraded user experience, and, in other cases, direct revenue loss. For IT teams and network admins, the pressure to resolve incidents fast isn't just operational, it's existential.

From Keyword Search to Ask AI: How We Upgraded AppSignal's Docs Experience

Apr 24, 2026 By Ewa Szyszka In AppSignal
Documentation search is often the last thing devs think about, until someone posts publicly that they couldn't find a basic answer, or your support queue fills up with things that are genuinely in the docs. We decided to get ahead of that. This is the story of how we went from a minimal keyword-only search on our docs to a conversational Ask AI experience.
