PostgreSQL vs. AlloyDB Omni: understanding the differences

With the introduction of Aiven for AlloyDB Omni, many of our customers have wondered what the difference is between AlloyDB Omni and its architectural source project, open source PostgreSQL. AlloyDB Omni is more than just a re-implementation of PostgreSQL, and understanding how it is similar – and how it differs – from open source PostgreSQL is a valuable exercise.

Building Smarter Manufacturing Systems with Bosch Rexroth and InfluxDB

Manufacturers are under pressure to increase efficiency, reduce downtime, and future-proof their factories. Rising costs, global competition, and shifting customer expectations mean that even small inefficiencies can lead to lost revenue or market share. This is difficult while using legacy systems that limit visibility and adaptability. These outdated systems often operate in silos, making it hard to access real-time data, respond to unexpected issues, or scale with modern technologies.

The Hitchhiker's guide to Diskless Kafka

KIP-1150 isn’t a distant, strange planet; it just reroutes Kafka’s entire replication pathway from broker disks to cloud object storage. Flip one topic flag and your data bypasses local drives altogether: Because Diskless is built into Kafka (no client changes, no forks), we had to solve a 4D puzzle: How do you make a Diskless topic behave exactly like a Kafka one—inside the same cluster—without rewriting Kafka?

How Choosing The Right DLT Tier Can Reduce Databricks Costs

Databricks is a critical part of many organizations’ tech stacks, facilitating analytics, machine learning, and other leading-edge data engineering tasks. But when a service like Databricks becomes essential, it also tends to become a cost black hole, leading engineering teams to a quandary: How can you keep Databricks costs in check without hurting application performance? At CloudZero, we give organizations unparalleled visibility into their Databricks costs.

The Role of Data and AI in Shaping Modern Maintenance Practices

In today's industrial landscape, maintenance operations are undergoing a dramatic transformation. Gone are the days of reactive fixes and estimating when equipment might fail. Instead, companies are harnessing the power of data analytics and artificial intelligence to predict issues before they occur, optimize resources, and drive better business outcomes. This digital revolution is reshaping how organizations approach maintenance, creating smarter systems that learn, adapt, and improve over time. Let's explore how data and AI are revolutionizing maintenance practices across industries.

Build a Time Series Forecasting Pipeline in InfluxDB 3 Without Writing Code

Curious how time series forecasting fits into your InfluxDB 3 workflows? Let’s build a complete forecasting pipeline together using InfluxDB 3 Core’s Python Processing Engine and Facebook’s Prophet library. InfluxDB 3 Core’s Python Processing Engine dramatically lowers the barrier to entry—not just for experienced developers but for anyone with a basic understanding of time series data and Python.

Mastering Information Hygiene for Reliable Health Decisions

In today's digital age, we're drowning in a sea of health information. From Instagram influencers promoting the latest detox tea to YouTube gurus claiming they've found the secret to eternal youth, it's becoming increasingly challenging to separate fact from fiction. But here's the thing: when it comes to your health, misinformation isn't just annoying - it can be downright dangerous. Let's dive into how to find and verify reliable health information in this noisy digital landscape.

InfluxDB 3 Core & Enterprise GA: The Next Generation Time Series Platform for Developers is Here

After months of development, testing, and community feedback, we’re excited to announce the general availability (GA) release of InfluxDB 3 Core and InfluxDB 3 Enterprise. This release brings us closer to our vision for InfluxDB: a time series database that helps developers solve the problem of collecting, analyzing, monitoring, and acting on data across sensors, networks, servers, and applications. We view time series as a way to analyze, monitor, and act on data through time.
