The Deconstructed Database at Datadog

Oct 28, 2026 By Datadog In Datadog
As Datadog scaled to handle over a hundred trillion daily events, our engineering teams built their own custom query engines to keep things fast. While this helped teams move quickly, it also created silos that made it tough to analyze data across different products. To keep growing and support AI, we had to find a way to bring these engines together using open standards without slowing anyone down or risking reliability.

Finding Why Payments Fail with VictoriaLogs Drilldown

Oct 27, 2026 By AM Artur Minchukov In VictoriaMetrics
Grafana’s Logs Drilldown is a point-and-click way to investigate logs without writing queries. Drilldown lets you break the logs down by service, label, pattern, or any other field, and narrow the selection one click at a time until the problem is in view. It’s a powerful tool, but it only works with Loki. So we built the same experience into the VictoriaLogs data source. We’re happy to announce that the VictoriaLogs data source for Grafana now ships with Drilldown integration.

Monitor Oracle AI Database across clouds with Datadog

Oct 26, 2026 By Datadog In Datadog
Organizations can use Oracle AI Database@AWS, Oracle AI Database@Azure, and Oracle AI Database@Google Cloud to run Oracle databases co-located with the cloud applications they support rather than managing the databases on premises. However, running applications in a cloud provider’s environment while hosting databases on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) can lead to visibility gaps. When application performance degrades, identifying the source of the problem can be difficult.

Monitoring CloudNativePG: What Changes When the Operator Owns Your Logs

Monitoring CloudNativePG: What Changes When the Operator Owns Your Logs

Oct 22, 2026 By Ryan Booz, Solutions Engineer at pganalyze In OpsMatters
Postgres operators like CloudNativePG (CNPG) have lowered the threshold for running highly available Postgres clusters on Kubernetes. Failover, replicas, backups, and rolling upgrades are handled by the operator, along with helpful niceties like automatic configuration of essential extensions. A few changes to a YAML manifest can provide a lot of value very quickly.

Observability Lessons NVIDIA and CoreWeave

Oct 19, 2026 By PF Pablo Fernandez In VictoriaMetrics
The best thing that can happen to an open-source project is to find its way into some of the world’s largest technology companies. In September 2026, this happened twice in one week: VictoriaMetrics is now officially bundled in the self-managed edition of NVIDIA’s Cloud Functions, and I learned that CoreWeave is using VictoriaMetrics as the metrics backend for all of its infrastructure customers. Both companies adopted VictoriaMetrics independently.

Go, Logs and the Engineering Behind VictoriaLogs Performance

Oct 16, 2026 By MS Michelle Sebek In VictoriaMetrics
What actually makes a logging system fast? That was the question behind Tech Talk. And if you were expecting the answer to be a collection of clever Go optimizations, Jesús Espino, Principal Engineer at VictoriaMetrics, made an important point pretty early in our conversation: A huge part of VictoriaLogs’ performance comes from architecture and data structures. The micro-optimizations come later. Now that gave my Tech Talk partner in crime, Mathias Palmersheim, and me plenty to dig into.

What Is Observability? It's More Than Metrics, Logs, and Traces

Oct 16, 2026 By MS Michelle Sebek In VictoriaMetrics
Modern systems, due to their distributed nature, rarely fail in simple ways. A request might pass through an API gateway, several microservices, a database, a message queue, and a third-party service before a response ever reaches a user. When something slows down or breaks, knowing that something is wrong is only the beginning. You need to figure out.
