Best APM for Small Development Teams in 2026

May 14, 2026 By Sarah Morgan In Scout
Last updated: May 2026 If your team is 2 to 20 developers and you do not have dedicated DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering, most APM tools were not built for you. They were built for the team that has you: a team with specialists who can tune dashboards, configure alerting pipelines, manage data retention policies, and explain the monitoring system to everyone else. You do not have that team. You have developers who also handle deploys, on-call, and debugging production issues between writing features.

Cloud Outage History: Six Years of Recurring Failures

May 13, 2026 By Nuno Tomas In isDown
Cloud infrastructure has never been more reliable in theory. In practice, the last six years of cloud outage history have delivered some of the most disruptive incidents on record. Not because cloud providers got worse, but because the systems built on top of them got larger, more interconnected, and more brittle in ways that don't show up until everything breaks at once.

What Is an Incident Commander? Role, Skills, and Best Practices

May 13, 2026 By Coralogix Team In Coralogix
The fastest incident response teams treat coordination as a craft. Someone owns the call, drives the decisions, and keeps everyone moving in the same direction while the team puts the system back together. That person is the incident commander (IC), and getting the role right is what separates your 15-minute fix from a four-hour war room where nobody’s sure who’s making the call.

What Is APM? A Guide to Application Performance Monitoring

May 13, 2026 By Coralogix Team In Coralogix
A well-instrumented service tells your on-call engineer which deploy broke checkout, which span ate the latency budget, and which line to revert before the support queue fills up. Getting there depends on how cleanly your application performance monitoring layer turns telemetry into answers. The sections ahead walk through how APM works, the metrics and components worth tracking, the cloud-native challenges at scale, and how to evaluate APM tooling against your real workload.

From Monitoring to Observability: How DEX Integrations Strengthen IT Visibility and User Productivity

May 13, 2026 By Teneo In Teneo
When I started working in IT in the last 90’s, IT performance was always measured by the health of infrastructure: CPU utilization, network latency, server uptime, and for many organizations, little has changed in the last 30+ years. We became very good at keeping systems alive, yet users still struggled to get work done. That disconnect is exactly why Digital Employee Experience (DEX) has emerged as a critical discipline. But DEX on its own is not the end goal.

Honeycomb Innovation Week: Debugging Agentic Workflows with Ken Rimple

May 13, 2026 By Honeycomb In Honeycomb
Canvas skills are how your team's runbooks and tribal knowledge become an active part of the investigation instead of a document someone has to remember to open. Pre-built skills cover the most common investigation patterns out of the box. Custom skills let you encode the specific context, thresholds, and decision logic your team has accumulated, so every auto-investigation starts with your best thinking already applied.
