Getting Started with JavaScript and InfluxDB 2.0

With 200+ plugins, Telegraf has a wide variety of methods for scraping, writing, and querying data to and from InfluxDB. However, sometimes users need to perform data collection outside of the capabilities of Telegraf. Perhaps they need to collect custom data and monitor application performance. Maybe they want to take advantage of external tools and libraries to create beautiful web-based visualizations for their users.

Visualizing COVID-19 with Elastic

There are various publicly available data-sources that we may leverage to visualize the COVID-19 pandemic. We will use the materials created by SiScale (https://www.siscale.com/) as they have composed a rather elegant means of ingesting COVID-19 data. This document is designed to be an instructional guide on how to implement this solution locally or with the Elastic Cloud. We will first configure the necessary components, ingest the data source, then show how to create the additional Machine Learning jobs as well as creating a Canvas dashboard.

GetSet Learning: Evolving with Elastic

But an algorithm is just a set of rules or a set of tasks to perform given a certain input.

Finding a home (and career) in the open source community

Open source software development can have a reputation for abrasive behavior. The search community is a clear counterexample for me, with a culture that emphasizes respect and acceptance. This culture played an important part in my own path to open source development. A little over six years ago, I was a wide-eyed software engineer settling into my first full-time job.
