Key Capabilities of a Modern Observability Tool

In a previous blog post, we introduced the key building blocks of Effective SRE (Site Reliability Engineering), which are Observability (often shortened with the numeronym “o11y”), usage of OpenTelemetry and the concept of MELT (Metrics, Events, Logs and Traces). In today’s blog post, we will deep dive into the necessary Key Capabilities for any modern

Effective SRE: Continuous Verification

Effective SRE: Continuous Verification by applying AI to Continuous Delivery and Quality Gate automation

Faster delivery of software will fail without a highly engineered Continuous Delivery Pipeline. It not only ensures various application quality attributes, but also allows testing of the release workflows and practicing the delivery of software. Continuous Verification, as part of Continuous Delivery, addresses the increased need for application reliability of production systems with intelligent and
