Until recently, Checkly was telling you what broke in your app. Now, it can also tell you why it broke. We're excited to announce the general availability of Checkly Traces, a new addition to our synthetic monitoring platform that bridges the gap between frontend monitoring and backend observability. By combining synthetic monitoring with distributed tracing, Checkly Traces empowers development teams to detect, diagnose, and resolve issues faster than ever before.

Over the past couple of years, many of us have been utilizing Generative AI interfaces and co-pilots to enhance our communication, conduct research, and summarize complex information. AI-based agents are digital entities created to autonomously derive insights from data and execute actions. Agents are focused on accomplishing a specific outcome without the needfor constant human intervention.

The complexity of modern networks has surged due to digital transformation, hybrid work models, and evolving security threats, making manual management increasingly unsustainable. Network automation addresses this challenge by streamlining operations and enabling networks to adapt and remain resilient in an ever-changing environment. A recent Gartner study predicts that by 2026, 30% of enterprises will automate more than half of their network activities.

In recent years, container platforms – also referred to as container orchestration systems – have grown in popularity and transformed the processes of software development, testing, and deployment.

In the rapidly evolving IT environment, observability at scale has become a critical challenge for organizations aiming to maintain operational excellence. The proliferation of telemetry collection agents across diverse infrastructures often increases complexity, resource strain, and configuration inconsistencies.

Sentry integrates directly with the tools you already use, giving you real-time crash and performance insights for Unity, Unreal Engine, and Godot. No matter what engine you use, Sentry helps you find and fix issues before they impact your players.

SquaredUp is a data visualization tool that can connect to a variety of data sources to bring the data together in a single pane of glass. In this blog we will connect our JIRA and Confluence instances to SquaredUp using the built-in plugins and create dashboards for them.

When you get behind the wheel of your car, one of the first things you see is the dashboard. Your dashboard provides various information about all the different technologies that make the car run smoothly, like helping you control your speed, providing insight into your fuel levels, and offering suggestions for regular maintenance, like oil changes. For developers, Kubernetes acts as that one-glance dashboard to provide insights about container performance, maintenance needs, and storage requirements.
