Scaling Observability: How We Designed Bindplane to Manage 1,000,000 OpenTelemetry Collectors

Join the live stream at 11 am ET, here. Platform teams tend to start with just one, or in some cases a handful of OpenTelemetry (OTel) Collectors usually running in gateway mode. They then embrace the benefit of a vendor-neutral, standardized, telemetry collector for unified logs, metrics, and traces.

What Makes Grease Trap Cleaning Different for Small and Large Establishments

Grease traps are crucial in any commercial kitchen. Whether it's a food truck or a large-scale restaurant chain, these devices prevent fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from entering the wastewater system and causing costly clogs or environmental hazards. But when it comes to cleaning and maintaining grease traps, the needs of small and large establishments differ significantly.

Is Your Internal IT Holding You Back? Signs It's Time to Rethink Your Strategy

Many business leaders ask: When should we consider outsourcing our IT support? Others worry about the cost, the risk of losing control, or the transition process. But here's a more useful way to look at it: Is your current IT setup helping or hindering your growth?

LoRaWAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) sensors have emerged as a powerful tool for organizations of all sizes, providing a cost-effective way to collect and utilize data. These sensors can monitor everything from environmental conditions to asset status, offering insightful analytics that can drive informed decisions and operational improvements.

IETF Decreased Mean Response Time by 90% with Scout APM!

The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is the premier Internet standards body, developing open standards through open processes. The IETF is a large open international community of network designers, operators, vendors, and researchers concerned with the evolution of Internet architecture and the smooth operation of the Internet. The IETF standards-setting process is open to any individual interested in providing technical contributions.

How to Set Up Tracing for Elixir Apps Using AppSignal

Over time, web applications have evolved from simple request/response-based systems into complex, distributed ones with lots of moving parts. If something goes wrong (and you can be sure it will), finding the cause can be nearly impossible. But this need not be the case: enter tracing. Tracing refers to the process of collecting detailed information about the execution of requests within an application, including function calls, execution time, and other relevant data.

What is an AIOps platform?

IT operations (ITOps) teams are challenged to keep pace with the rapid pace of digital transformation. As companies use more cloud-based apps, increase agile deployments, and develop new microservices-based applications, their technology stacks become exponentially more complex. This makes life increasingly challenging for the teams responsible for maintaining reliable IT services and infrastructure. Hybrid tech stacks are siloed, complex, and fragmented.

Your Collector, Your Rules: Introducing BYOC and the OpenTelemetry Distribution Builder

Join the live stream at 11 am ET, here. OpenTelemetry’s super-power has always been: Choice. Yet, most observability vendors still insist you run their collector. Today we’re removing that last point of friction. With Bring Your Own Collector (BYOC), Bindplane now accepts any upstream-compatible build, recognizes exactly which receivers, processors, and exporters it contains, and adapts the UI and configuration workflow on the fly.

AI Service Desk Showdown: RITA vs. Legacy Chatbots

Over the last decade, IT teams have leaned on chatbots to manage rising support volumes, aiming to deflect tickets and lighten the burden on overworked service desk agents. These legacy chatbots served a purpose—but today they’ve hit a wall. Static responses and script-based flows can’t keep pace with the expectations of modern digital workers or the dynamic needs of enterprise IT. That’s where a new kind of intelligence emerges.
