In today's digital age, organizations increasingly depend on their technology infrastructure to keep their operations running smoothly. These infrastructures include servers, networking equipment, IoT devices, and applications. The data generated by all this infrastructure (logs, metrics, traces) is known as telemetry data, which has a tremendous potential value to organizations. However, it can be challenging to control telemetry data and utilize it effectively.

In data management, numerous roles rely on and regularly use telemetry data. The developer is one of these roles. Developers are the creative masterminds behind the software applications and systems we use and enjoy today. From conception to finished product, they map out, build, test, and maintain software.

As we begin the new year, it is customary to reflect and identify areas we can continue to grow in 2023. Whether it’s joining the local gym, starting a new diet, or taking up a new hobby, this time is always full of promise to continually improve. The same can be said for digital businesses of every size and across every vertical. Macroeconomic trends have especially made this time one of reflection for a number of organizations.

In data management, numerous roles rely on and regularly use observability data. The Site Reliability Engineer is one of these roles. Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) work on the digital frontlines, ensuring performant experiences by using observability data to maintain stability and awareness of software running in various environments across organizations.

Observability is the ability to see and understand the internal state of a system from its external outputs. Logs, Metrics, and Traces, collectively called observability data, are external outputs widely considered to be three pillars of observability.

Observability data is mission-critical for businesses that want to provide stellar customer experiences, remain secure and compliant, and mitigate risk. However, organizations are creating more data as they expand their digital presence. Its increasing volume and complexity have teams looking for solutions that enable them to better control that data, derive more value by making it actionable, and all while keeping their costs under control.

We’re proud to announce that we have received ISO 27001 certification. This certification is another significant milestone for Mezmo this year.

In case you missed it, last month, we had the pleasure of setting foot in Detroit, Michigan, for another KubeCon. The Mezmo team joined 7,000+ people in the Huntington Place Exhibit Hall in the Motor City for Kubecon + CloudNativeCon NA 2022 from October 24-28.

Our recent blog post about observability pipelines highlighted how they centralize and enable data actionability. A key benefit of observability pipelines is users don't have to compare data sets manually or rely on batch processing to derive insights, which can be done directly while the data is in motion. As a result, teams get access to the data they need to make decisions faster.

An observability pipeline is a tool or process that centralizes data ingestion, transformation, correlation, and routing across a business. Production engineers across ITOps, Development, and Security teams use them to more efficiently and cost-effectively transform their telemetry data to drive critical decisions. Businesses of all sizes can enjoy several benefits and gain a significant competitive advantage by implementing an observability pipeline.
