Are you one of the many companies harnessing the power of Heroku to build, deliver and scale your applications seamlessly? If so, you're likely aware of the need for robust observability to ensure your Heroku environment runs smoothly. Let’s delve into the world of Heroku monitoring and explore how Sumo Logic, a leading observability platform, can provide invaluable insights into your Heroku infrastructure and application logs.

You probably know that we have a generous free plan that allows you to send 20 million events per month. This is enough for many of our customers. In fact, some have developed neat techniques to keep themselves underneath the event limit. I’m going to share one way here—hopefully no one at Honeycomb notices!

Large Language Models (LLMs) are all the rage in software development, and for good reason: they provide crucial opportunities to positively enhance our software. At Honeycomb, we saw an opportunity in the form of Query Assistant, a feature that can help engineers ask questions of their systems in plain English.

Logz.io is always growing and evolving based on customer usage and feedback. We add new features and quality of life improvements all the time. Here’s the round up of what we released in 2023 Q3.

As systems increasingly shift towards distributed architectures to deliver application services, the roles of monitoring and observability have never been more crucial. Monitoring delivers the situational awareness you need to detect issues, while observability goes a step further, offering the analytical depth to understand the root cause of those issues. Understanding the nuanced differences between monitoring and observability is crucial for anyone responsible for system health and performance.

Over the last year or so, the unavoidable topic of overwhelming cost has emerged as the number one issue among today’s observability practitioners. Whether it is in conversations among end users, feedback from customers and prospects, industry chatter or the coverage of experts including Gartner, the issue of massive telemetry data volumes driving unsustainable observability budgets prevails.

Massdriver is a cloud operations platform that makes it easier for engineering teams to build, deploy, and scale cloud-native applications. While many companies use this lofty language to make similar promises, Dave Williams, CTO and co-founder at Massdriver, means it. Before Massdriver, Dave worked in product engineering where he was constantly bogged down with DevOps toil. He spent his time doing everything except what he was hired to do: write software.
