Building a CloudWatch metrics pipeline: parsing OpenTelemetry data

AWS delivers CloudWatch metrics in OpenTelemetry format via Firehose, but AppSignal uses its own internal format. Building the parser to bridge these two formats presented several technical challenges. The metrics arriving through this pipe power AWS automated dashboards. When AppSignal detects metrics from a supported AWS service, it creates a dashboard for it automatically, with pre-built charts grouped by category: compute, databases, networking, messaging, storage, and others.

Inbound Marketing for B2B Growth: Building a Predictable Pipeline in a Complex Buyer Journey

Growth in B2B rarely happens because of one brilliant campaign. It usually happens because a company builds a system. A prospect discovers a useful article while researching a problem.

A sales team receives better-qualified conversations because marketing has already answered the first ten objections.

The 2026 Automotive Security Testing Companies List

Modern vehicles ship with more software than a small airliner. A single mid-range car can run 100 million lines of code across dozens of electronic control units, talking over CAN, Ethernet, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cellular and increasingly UWB. From a cybersecurity point of view every one of those interfaces is a potential attack vector and every OEM, Tier 1 and fleet operator on the planet now has to prove, on paper, that they have tested their vehicle from a hackers perspective.
