January Observability updates from Middleware

All About Elevating Large-Scale Deployments and Enhancing UX

January was a big month for us at Middleware, and we’re excited to share our most recent features and enhancements. Our big focus was preparing for large-scale deployments and improving the general UX. 

Notable features over the last month include updates to our Log and trace correlation, our infrastructure monitoring dashboards, some simple yet powerful dashboards, quality of life options, and more control of what data to ingest.

We appreciate all of the feedback we’ve received this far and are eager to hear more from you all. We are also exhibiting at a few events this month. Come say hi!
