Kubernetes has just reached its 10th anniversary, signifying the maturity of the containers movement. Now it’s time to explore the next frontier in cloud-native evolution: WebAssembly, a.k.a. WASM or Wasm. Moving beyond containers and Kubernetes, WASM bears the promise to revolutionize the cloud landscape with unparalleled performance, portability, and security.

Despite advances in the world of observability, log management hasn’t evolved much in recent years. In our webinar, Your Faster, Easier Log Management UI is Here, we share our vision for log management and provide a demo of Logz.io Explore, the new UI for our Log Management solution.

There’s no question that achieving end-to-end observability is among the most challenging tasks facing engineering and ops teams today. A quick look back at the 2024 Observability Pulse survey throws this conclusion into stark relief as: Logz.io is committed to making observability smarter, faster, and easier — from data ingestion, to troubleshooting, to managing costs.

The business of observability is all about data: what you’re observing in the data, how you’re visualizing it, what it indicates about the state of your environment, and how to address issues that may occur. Creating your own perspective for observability, and understanding what you’re seeing, can be difficult.

Redis is no longer open source. In March 2024 the project was relicensed, leaving its vast community confused. But the community did not give up, and started work to fork Redis to keep it open. On my recent OpenObservabilty Talks episode, I delved into Valkey, a prominent fork of Redis.

There’s so much hype around the use of AI in observability — but how does that translate into making tangible progress with your day-to-day tasks? At Logz.io we’ve introduced an AI-based chatbot assistant to the Open 360 platform that automatically delves into your stack, fine-tunes your workflows and enables conversation directly with your systems and data.

It may sound complicated and daunting, but so much of observability is about discovering the unknown unknowns in your critical systems. The capabilities of observability engineering can help you make those discoveries. Most organizations have some form of monitoring, alerting and troubleshooting, which can be adequate to a point but fall short when trying to determine the root cause of unexpected outages.

At Logz.io we provide an observability platform with the ability to ship logs, metrics, and traces and then interact with them using our app. LogMetrics is an integral part of our observability offering, which bridges the gap between logs and metrics. It provides the seamless conversion of one type of signal to another. It empowers our customers to gain critical insights faster while also reducing their monitoring bill.

In the past few years we’ve been witnessing tectonic shifts in the open source realm, with established projects taken off open source or otherwise turning to the dark side. On the other hand, we’ve seen active forks aiming to keep these projects open gaining momentum. What does it mean for the Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) movement? Is this a trend or just a passing wave? What can we learn from it as vendors and as a community?

At Logz.io, we believe the future of observability will center on the rapid advancement of automation, innovations around artificial intelligence, and streamlining processes that currently remain far too complex. This is no different than many other areas of technology, but the opportunities in observability are vast, and we see all of these areas connecting and driving improvements to the Logz.io Open 360 platform.
