    Less Noise, Better Sleep: Data-Driven Approach to Healthier Alerts

    Monday.com's engineering team tackled alert fatigue and noisy on-call schedules by treating production alerts as data. They built a PagerDuty integration to log every alert into a monday.com board, enriched raw data with context (true/false positive, root cause, duplicates), reviewed trends quarterly in engineering reviews, and converted findings into prioritized backlog items. Over a year, this framework cut false-positive alerts by 2x and improved system resiliency across a 20-engineer group.

    360 billion tokens, 3 million customers, 6 engineers

    Durable, an AI business builder serving 3 million customers, migrated its multi-tenant platform from self-hosted infrastructure to Vercel with a team of just 6 engineers. The move reduced infrastructure costs 3-4x, eliminated the need for a dedicated DevOps team, and enabled shipping new production AI agents in a single day. The platform now processes ~1.1 billion tokens daily (360 billion per year). Key challenges solved include custom domain SSL at scale, multi-region cluster maintenance, tenant isolation for AI context, and per-customer cost attribution. The team used coding agents to accelerate a full product rewrite rather than incremental refactoring.

    Uptime Kuma v2 is HERE // Breaking Changes & Safe Upgrade Checklist

    Uptime Kuma v2 introduces MariaDB support, Docker secret support, new image tags, and deprecates the 'latest' Docker tag. The upgrade requires backing up the data volume before migrating, as the internal database schema changes and migration can take several minutes for large datasets. For those wanting to switch from SQLite to MariaDB, the process involves exporting the SQLite database, converting it using the sqlite3-to-mysql tool, and importing into a MariaDB container. The 'latest' Docker tag is now deprecated and users must explicitly pin to v2. Alpine-based images are also dropped in v2.
