The thing I love the most about Sentry/Bugsnag/Honeycomb/etc is that it is essentially automated observability. That is, I don't need to do a huge amount of integration to have, basically, a prioritized list of bugs alon

Yes, I read the article. 90 percent of their signups are within 130 days. That's not a great funnel. I'd be curious to see the breakdown of SaaS vs self-hosted customers. Again, imagine what the funnel would look like if the page

It's mind-boggling to me that Google didn't create a spec to work with special partners whereby they could get syndicated data in a format that was easy to ingest, and easy for their partners to produce. Lighting dollars on fire j

I would be okay if they gave it the Peripheral treatment, which is to say it doesn't need to be 100% like the book. It would be better if Case's ono-sendai rig was something a little more modern than the original vision of essenti

Someone reading the headline of this might think "oh, they're using Cockroach, or Fauna, or Planetscale" -- nope, this is about next-gen hardware powering their single-write (with a number of read replicas) MariaDB instance.

Anything that an IP address can be attached to is already accumulating a charge, just by existing and running. EC2, NAT gateway, ELB, etc. What's "actually unused" then? Minimum amount of traffic? I don't think it's
