Moving Past Simple Incident Metrics: Courtney Nash on the VOID
The Verica Open Incident Database (VOID) is assembling publically available software-related incident reports. InfoQ talks with Courtney Nash about their recent findings including how MTT* metrics may not be beneficial, the average time to incident resolution, and the importance of studying near-miss reports.

Lambda Throttling - How to Avoid It?
This article aims to explain best practices if you have throttled your application and services and suggestions for how to handle these cases. We performed an in-house experiment at Jit (a SaaS-based DevSecOps platform) built on serverless to learn how our application behaves.

Are They Really Using It? Monitoring Digital Experience to Determine Feature Effectiveness
This article reflects on the challenges of determining user experience and effectiveness and how modern techniques such as Real User Monitoring and Application Performance Monitoring can determine the true effectiveness of features. It includes stories from banking to show which measures can help agile teams determine not only if features are being used, but diagnose other common issues too.

Why Observability Is the Key to Unlocking GitOps
In a GitOps work process, Git is the single source of truth for the system’s intended state. Observability can provide the missing piece: the single source of truth for the system’s actual state.

Moldable Development: Guiding Technical Decisions without Reading Code
Developers spend most of their time reading code. Moldable Development challenges reading as a means to gather information from the system, by creating custom tools that show the problem in a way that makes it comfortable to understand. The solution typically follows quickly afterward. Glamorous Toolkit is a moldable development environment designed to decrease the cost of custom tools.

The Compounding (Business) Value of Composable Ecosystems
Being “free” and open source doesn’t hinder the value of these projects to businesses and end users; rather it unlocks it. The composability of open source ecosystems allows the innovation and value of the whole ecosystem to compound on itself.

Analyzing Incident Data across Organizations: Courtney Nash on the VOID
The Verica Open Incident Database (VOID) is assembling publically available software-related incident reports. InfoQ talks with Courtney Nash on their recent findings including how MTT* metrics may not be beneficial, the average time to incident resolution, and the importance of studying near-miss reports.

Establishing a Scalable SRE Infrastructure Using Standardization and Short Feedback Loops
This article explores an SRE implementation where the operations team builds and runs the SRE infrastructure and the development teams build and run the services leveraging the SRE infrastructure. This SRE solution enables the software delivery organization to scale the number of services in operation without linearly scaling the number of people required to operate the services.

How to Fight Climate Change as a Software Engineer
We need to reduce and eliminate greenhouse gas emissions to stop climate change. But what role does software play, and what can software engineers do? Let’s take a look under the hood to uncover the relationship between greenhouse gas emissions and software, learn about the impact that we can have, and identify concrete ways to reduce emissions when creating and running software.

Chaos Engineering and Observability with Visual Metaphors
This article introduces a new actor for visualising chaos engineering and observability: metaphors. It provides the conceptual foundations of chaos engineering and observability, presents a state of art of visualisation techniques available in the market and shows how treemaps, gauge charts, geocentric and city metaphors can enrich the spectrum of the visual strategies to observe the chaos.
