Reliability engineering — its significance and key principles

Choosing a product or a service to buy is a complex process. Your own tastes play an important role, of course, but very often product reliability is what impacts your decision most of all. It is especially important when you are looking at something that can potentially serve you for many years to come. Nobody likes spending a ton of money on a device that works right now but will fail in a couple of months. However, we can all agree that nothing lasts forever. Any product or system can fail, which is why warranties exist.

Enhancing the user experience with end user experience monitoring (EUEM)

In today's digital landscape, where user satisfaction is paramount, organizations strive to deliver seamless and optimized experiences to their end users. End user experience monitoring (EUEM) plays a pivotal role in achieving this goal. Unlike application performance monitoring or network performance monitoring, EUEM focuses specifically on measuring and improving the user experience. In this article, we will explore the concept of EUEM, discuss its advantages, highlight the potential long-term benefits, and delve into the specific metrics, visualization, and tools used in EUEM.

Essential monitoring metrics for better decision-making

Any company dealing with software development knows the importance of reliable infrastructure. Whether you have multiple environments for testing and production which are needed to allow your own teams to work without interruptions or you provide mobile or web services to customers, you will have to keep an eye on your systems. So it goes without saying, you will need a good monitoring system to make sure your systems and infrastructure keep performing as they should. But modern monitoring systems provide tons of raw data when the performance metrics are collected.

[interview] How to use data to navigate complex systems better? Talking about monitoring and observability.

In today's constantly developing technological landscape, businesses are looking for solutions that help them manage complex systems and ensure optimal performance. However, although 90% of IT professionals believe observability is important and strategic to their business, only 26% said their observability practice was mature. Why this difference? What are the reasons why businesses don’t manage to implement monitoring and observability at a high level? In this interview, we explore the significance of monitoring and observability - our guests Edyta Kałka, Senior Engineering Manager, and Maciej Manturewicz, Director of Engineering, will share their insights, real-world experiences, and opinions on how to create effective monitoring and observability solutions.

The popular open-source monitoring tools you should know

The foundation of any successful business is utilizing the most modern technologies for everyday tasks. Today you can’t run a company, no matter how big or small, with just phones and faxes anymore. You will need a wide network of servers, devices, and applications, even if your company is not involved in software development. Your company IT infrastructure may be physical or cloud-based, but in any case it has to run smoothly to facilitate employees’ performance instead of hindering it. It is a well-known truth that any problem is easier to fix if you notice it as early as possible, before it becomes aggravated.

Types of monitoring and observability data: categories and limitations

The monitoring and observability of current complex software solutions can be even more intricate than the solutions themselves. Not only do monitoring and observability software or service providers need to understand these complexities, but they also need to provide clear and efficient insights. One aspect of providing a view into the monitored system is through metrics. In this article, we will group them into two intersecting types to enhance understanding of monitoring/observability concepts and make the use of monitoring and observability tools easier.
