Part 1 of the series of posts which talk about engineering design decisions to make high cardinality work in time-series databases.

As organizations continue to digitally transform and expand their networks via cloud and multi-cloud environments, it has become increasingly critical to protect microservices and data flow. Implementing advanced technology such as service mesh helps your team secure data networks and manage system access policies by matching user intentions to workload states. Service meshes like Istio support the latest software application trends like containerization and microservice infrastructures.

Machine learning (ML) has quickly become integral to many businesses. Its rapid adoption across almost every industry is because it is a force multiplier: new data can be learned from and understood as it arrives, while historical data can be revisited with new tools and practices.

System Administrator Appreciation Day, also known as SysAdmin Day, has been celebrated on the last Friday in July since it was created in 2000 by Ted Kekatos. It is a special day dedicated to acknowledging the contributions of system administrators and IT professionals who play a vital role in managing and maintaining the technology infrastructure of organizations.

Cloud Infrastructure Management is the most efficient way to manage your IT resources in a flexible and decentralized way. This type of IT infrastructure provides the scalability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness required to meet the dynamic demands of organizations of all sizes. Because of this, many business in today's work environment opt for this model.

The last few years have seen a big change in the size, make-up, and nature of database estates. Data is growing both in volume and complexity, it is now normal to have workloads as well as data in multiple public clouds, and organizations are increasingly using different kinds of databases for different use cases.

What is Graphite? Simply put, Graphite is an open-source enterprise-ready time-series database. So what is a time-series database? Well, a time series is a series of data points indexed (or listed or graphed) in time order. Time Series databases have excellent benefits over traditional databases in terms of high performance, higher writes, improved scalability, better reliability, and many more.
