Avoiding the Data Roach Motel with Open Source

It's your data. You should be able to do whatever you want with it. However, vendor lock-in can trap your data in a single solution, making it extremely difficult to switch to something that better meets your needs. When your data goes in, but doesn't come out—that's a data roach motel. Open source technologies, and solutions built with open source tools, enable organizations to take control of their data, giving them the freedom to put it into and take it out of whatever databases or solutions they see fit.

How Time Series Databases and Data Lakes Work Together

In the fast-paced world of software engineering, efficient data management is a cornerstone of success. Imagine you’re working with streams of data that not only require rapid analysis but also need to store that data for long-term insights. This is where the powerful duo of time series databases (TSDBs) and data lakes can help.

How to speed up MySQL and PostgreSQL queries for FREE

How can I speed up a SQL query? This video showcases how to optimize a SQL query on MySQL or PostgreSQL for free using AI and a tool called EverSQL by Aiven. In the example shown, the query performance on a MySQL database went from 20 seconds to 0.5 seconds only by pasting the SQL and additional metadata in the EverSQL by Aiven UI and applying the indexes and SQL rewrite suggestions.

Using Time Series Data for Infrastructure Monitoring: Challenges and Advantages

Monitoring the performance and health of infrastructure is crucial for ensuring smooth operations. From data centers and cloud environments to networks and IoT devices, infrastructure monitoring plays a vital role in identifying issues, optimizing resource utilization, and maintaining high availability. However, traditional monitoring approaches often struggle to handle the volume and velocity of data generated by modern infrastructures. This is where time series databases, like InfluxDB, come into play.
