#Free Progressively - Build the feature that matters to your audience Progressively makes it possible to build your features iteratively and to understand how your audience behaves when being exposed to them. Take decision based on data and not guts feelings. We do that anonymously, with open source, and it's self-hosted. Who is Progressively for? No matter if you are a small team or a big company, Progressively can help if... You want to ship faster: Timely delivery is challenging, especially when deploying code and rolling out features are intertwined complexities. You don't want your data to be stored somewhere else: Securing data in unknown realms raises concerns. Privacy matters. You don't want an overly complicated solution: Not everyone needs a tool with 1 billion charts. Embrace simplicity. You don't want to multiply your tooling: Juggling 20+ tools in a daily job is a hassle. Minimize context and experience switching. You don't have time to build your own solution: Building your own applications is your priority. We couldn't agree more. You want to be part of a community: Engaging in a community means influencing both the tool and the people involved. Visit Now: https://progressively.app/

you don’t need Notion. you need to strategize & optimize the tools you already have first. 🤯 I talk to countless teams who are ready to jump ship on the tech stack they have, but in the same breath say they aren’t using said tools the best / right way. explain that logic to me. all it is, is FOMO to be on a trending platform. and don’t get me wrong, luv Notion - but it’s not the best tool for every team. so instead of platform hopping, internal work has to be done — lean into your processes, identify gaps that technology can fix, only THEN build a better stack. —— hi I’m Sara 👋🏼 I work with teams to reduce bottlenecks and build efficiency. email me (hello@systms.club) to talk about fixing the tech stack you pieced together and hate.

Platform want metrics, graphs and standardisation, but developers need explorability and high-cardinality/dimensionality. This is the real problem in Observability. These teams need different things, yet one of them is in control and educating the other. It's normally not a conscious thing, more that as an industry we say things with so much confidence that people just go with it. However, these roles need different things, and one tool can't do it all. Platform teams need to standardise, since at scale managing multiple different tools, platforms is just unmanageable (debatable, but let's just accept that for most this is true). They also care about the scaling of the platform, and therefore Compute capacity, and general saturation is important to them. So they need relatively low cardinality time-series aggregations in order to do their job. Dev teams need to be able to go deep, to analyze commonality at a granular level, they need high cardinality data, they need high dimensionality. This is because they care about debugging what's happening to individual groups of requests or users. These are 2 different usecases, and 2 different types of data stores, and also 2 different ways to visualize data. From known unknowns (Metrics, Time-Series aggregates) to unknown unknowns (freeform querying not dashboards, fast response times, wide data). I find it more common that Platform have the purchasing power, and therefore skew towards what they need and confidently tell the development teams what to use and how to use it. The thing is, they're different use cases. Very few development teams understand how hard it is to run platforms at scale, and the opposite is true of Platform teams too. As always, communication is the key. Acknowledge your differences, understand each other's usecases and workout the best possible approach that allows you both to achieve your reliability goals, and remember that nines don't matter if users aren't happy. #observability #o11y

Low-code/no-code tools aren't just liberating for business users. They also liberate IT. But I think this benefit tends to get overlooked - and it shouldn't. There just aren't enough tech and data professionals to go around, and so tech teams tend to be very selective about what user stories they put on their backlog. If it isn't related to a strategic priority or otherwise have far reaching impact, chances are your request isn't going anywhere. This leaves business in a bind. Tech's triage is hard to argue with, but we have a business to run, and there are often big gains to be had outside of these strategic initiatives. This is where citizen development can help. The business can now help itself with little to no involvement from IT. We can solve a lot of the problems that IT doesn't want to address on our own. We free ourselves from what can be a high barrier to entry - and we free IT from having to do work that isn't really worth their time. #citizendevelopment #lowcode #nocode #analytics

Low Code platforms have become increasingly popular in recent years, with almost 60% of respondents to Evoke's survey already using them to develop mission-critical applications. In fact, over 72% are planning to use Low Code to build such applications in the near future, pointing to a potential paradigm shift. However, the journey to Low Code success is not without its challenges. Nearly 50% of users reported difficulties in getting started with the platform, and the average enterprise has more than one platform in use, which can negate the benefits of reducing the learning curve. Additionally, concerns around security, scalability, vendor lock-in, and licensing pricing have led many companies to hire experienced developers with skills in a particular platform to increase their use of Low Code. It is clear that while Low Code presents exciting opportunities for businesses, careful consideration and strategic planning are necessary to overcome its challenges. #lowcode #softwaredevelopment #softwareengineering #news #trends

🔍 Diving deep into Observability: Blackfire's approach to continuous profiling part two 👉 https://brnw.ch/21wL54L As the tech landscape evolves, so does our approach to application performance. In a recent blog post, Blackfire unveils its innovative take on continuous profiling, blending deterministic and probabilistic observability for unparalleled insights. Key takeaways: 1️⃣ Deterministic Profiling: Blackfire's solution meticulously collects data for each function and service call, providing a granular view of application performance. 2️⃣ Advanced Features: From automated performance tests to custom metrics and synthetic monitoring, Blackfire empowers developers to proactively identify and address bottlenecks. 3️⃣ Comprehensive Monitoring: Transforming raw data into actionable insights, Blackfire's dashboard offers service monitoring, alerting, and health reports for a 360° view of your application's health. 4️⃣ Balancing Act: By introducing sampling rates, Blackfire strikes a perfect balance between deterministic precision and probabilistic efficiency. 5️⃣ Robust Architecture: Blackfire's deterministic stack, comprising a probe and an agent, ensures seamless data collection and communication. The introduction of monitoring traces and extended traces marks a shift towards more frequent, focused data collection.

Let's talk about #metrics in tech. 📈 Easy metrics are not necessarily good metrics. Lines of code (LoC) is easy to measure, but a poor indicator of developer productivity. Test coverage is easy to measure and could be a decent metric... unless the tests don't actually do anything meaningful. Deployment frequency is nice, but are your deployments adding value? The danger with metrics is that they can easily become targets. Bad metrics make for bad incentives that drive bad behaviour. Make sure you measure what matters. What metrics work for you, #founders and #technologists?
