Scalability in cloud computing refers to the system’s ability to handle changing workloads efficiently. It allows seamless resource adjustments based on demand, optimizing performance, cost, and resource utilization. Key benefits include improved flexibility, cost efficiency, high availability, and enhanced user experience. Scalability is essential for adapting to dynamic business requirements and ensuring the optimal functioning of cloud-based applications and services.

In this webinar hosted by InfluxDB and HiveMQ, we focus on how you can create value for your business using new tools in the AI and database ecosystem to quickly deploy AI models to perform tasks like anomaly detection.

It'll soon be the third anniversary of publicly launching OnlineOrNot on Twitter, and I often get asked what I did to get my first paying customers - so I felt like sharing. I assume when most folks ask this that they're looking for the one thing they can do to finally start getting paid customers. Let me be clear: it's never just one thing.

In computer networking, understanding the concept of subnets and subnetting is crucial for managing and troubleshooting network issues. So, in this ultimate guide, we will explain everything you need to know about subnets, subnet masks, and subnet calculators. Additionally, we will introduce you to popular subnetting tools.

Effective monitoring and observability tools are critical for modern enterprises. Daily operations, digital transformation, moving to a cloud-native architecture, and an ever-evolving tech stack all require ITOps, DevOps, and SRE teams to monitor increasingly complex systems. So what happens if your applications suddenly cease to function? Every moment of downtime translates to lost income, decreased customer satisfaction, and harm to your company’s reputation.

The two key pillars of building reliable applications are: testing and monitoring. With testing, you can verify that each pull request works before it’s merged and deployed to production. Just testing isn’t enough, though. You also need to make sure that the application continues to work on production. Database rollovers, third-party outages, and unexpected spikes in traffic can all cause issues that need to be detected.

If you’ve landed on this blog, you’re likely either considering starting your OpenTelemetry journey or you are well on your way. As OpenTelemetry adoption has grown, not only within the observability community but also internally at Grafana Labs and among our users, we frequently get requests around how to best implement an OpenTelemetry strategy.

Rollbar is acclaimed as the top error monitoring tool - with 4.5 out of 5 stars on both Capterra and G2 - amongst a competitive field. That said, we recognize there are alternatives some people consider when also looking at us. Here is our perspective on what these other tools are for, and when to choose Rollbar instead.

Cloud-based database providers often provide great observability out of the box. But, what if you’re developing a tricky feature locally and need more details about what your local Clickhouse is doing? There are many options, but if you’re a numbers and graphs person like me, you’ll want to be able to view the inner workings of Clickhouse in something like Grafana.
