In critical incidents, keeping stakeholders informed is just as important as resolving the issue. Squadcast simplifies this by offering tools like stakeholder notifications, StatusPages, and Service Graphs. These features ensure clear communication with both internal and external stakeholders, allowing teams to focus on resolving incidents without worrying about constant updates. Squadcast enables real-time updates, automated notifications, and visual service representations to keep everyone aligned and minimize confusion during crises.

Resilience engineering is essential for modern software systems, ensuring they recover quickly from disruptions and provide seamless user experiences. This blog explores the key concepts of resilience engineering, including the 4 R's: Robustness, Redundancy, Resourcefulness, and Rapidity. It also outlines a roadmap for engineers to build resilient systems in high-growth environments, from defining resilience goals to implementing scalable infrastructure and continuous monitoring.

System uptime is critical for organizations, directly impacting revenue, customer satisfaction, and internal operations. Downtime can result in significant financial losses and reputational damage. Proactive system monitoring is essential to mitigate these risks by enabling early detection, faster resolution, and performance optimization. Best practices for modern monitoring include defining KPIs, continuous monitoring, data analysis, and automation to reduce alert fatigue and improve system resilience.

This guide shows you how to easily use Jaeger with OpenTelemetry for improved tracing and application monitoring.

Many things can improve database performance. One of the most obvious solutions is to use indexes. This blog post will examine them in detail to understand how they work in PostgreSQL and what makes them useful.
