All applications need some form of testing, whether frontend, backend, stress testing, or any other. Playwright can help. Playwright is an end-to-end testing framework for web applications, supporting cross-browser testing (Chromium, Firefox, WebKit) from a single API. Its built-in test runner (Playwright Test) provides hook functions to manage set-up and tear-down logic around your tests.

In the realm of data and observability, timing is everything. Until now, SquaredUp provided fixed time options like the last hour, 12 hours, 24 hours, last week, and this month.

AI has become a massive investment for companies. Engineering teams across industries are integrating AI into their products, whether it’s through homegrown, self-managed models or third-party model integrations.

In this section, we’ll wire up end-to-end structured logging across both server and browser environments in your Next.js app, complete with trace correlation and SigNoz integration.
