At GrafanaCONline 2022, Theia Scientific President, Managing Member, and Lead Developer Chris Field and Volkov Labs founder and CEO Mikhail Volkov — a Grafana expert — delivered a presentation about using Grafana and machine learning for real-time microscopy image analysis. Real-time microscopy image analysis involves capturing images on a microscope using a digital device such as a PC, iPad, or camera.

Prometheus is among the leading open-source metric-gathering and alerting platforms for managing metrics from microservices architectures. As Prometheus is such a popular choice in the cloud computing landscape today, we will explain how Prometheus metrics can be leveraged for observability.

This is how the developer story used to go: You do your coding work once, then you ship it to production—only to find out the code (or its dependencies) has security or other vulnerabilities. So, you go back and repeat your work to fix all those issues. But what if that all changed? What if observability were applied before everything was on fire? After all, observability is about understanding systems, which means more than just production.

Thanks to Vinay Kumar for being a key contributor to this article. We love to write and ship code to help developers bring their ideas and projects to life. That’s why we’re constantly working on improving our product to meet developers where they are, to ensure their happiness, and accelerate Time to Awesome. This week, we are covering a featured product release that we think will save you time and effort when building with time series, InfluxDB – and specifically – Tasks.

Modern digital businesses have adopted cloud technology and distributed architectures to enable on-demand scaling of resources. Containerization technologies like Kubernetes and Docker have made it possible to handle customer demands at scale. However, orchestrating a complex microservices architecture with Kubernetes is challenging. Monitoring your Kubernetes cluster can give you insights to better manage your cluster.

The modern standards of the web demand that user-facing applications be highly usable and satisfying. When deploying frontends, it’s important to implement a comprehensive testing strategy to ensure your customers are getting the best possible user experience. It can be difficult, however, to gauge the effectiveness of your test suite. For instance, all of your tests may be passing, but they might not cover a specific UI element that is crucial to a critical workflow.

The use of a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) is increasingly common in embedded software designs. An RTOS makes it easy to divide your code into smaller blocks, tasks, which execute seemingly in parallel and independent of each other, as described in the first article in the RTOS 101 series.

Leading a team of data and analytics professionals isn’t easy; it takes more than just understanding the goal. It’s about the journey and how the people on the journey collaborate. Wes Gelpi, Director of Research & Development at SAS, joins us in a special 2-part episode. Gelpi has a rich history of taking challenging situations and running with them.
