DevOps is one of the core pillars of any organization. As the company grows, its processes also scale to absorb the new growth. Scaling DevOps is inevitable for any organization's growth. You cannot scale consistently if your DevOps processes involve a lot of manual steps and take much time to deliver new projects. A scalable DevOps means the system can expand automatically during a high workload and shrink back when the needs are reduced to normal.

At some point if you’re working with data, you’ll probably want to be able to visualize it with different types of charts and organize those charts with dashboards. You’ll also need somewhere to store that data so it can be queried efficiently. One of the most popular combinations for storing and visualizing time series data is Grafana and InfluxDB.

I recently chatted with one of our InfluxDB Cloud customers, Rune Labs, to discuss how they’re using this purpose-built time series platform. Every customer has a unique story — I love sharing their stories as well as their Telegraf, InfluxDB, and Flux tips and tricks. Keep reading to learn about Rune Labs’ approach to precision neurology, and learn from Engineering Manager Carolyn Ranti how they are using InfluxDB to collect sensor data.

Log files and system logs have been a treasure trove of information for administrators and developers for decades. But with more moving parts and ever more options on where to run modern cloud applications, keeping an eye on logs and troubleshooting problems have become increasingly difficult.

As you explore IT event management and IT incident management, they may look and even sound similar, but it’s essential to understand how they differ. Your IT management team needs to know what to look for, both in an event and an incident, so they can resolve any red-flag issues and return your system to normalcy.

But we aren’t hanging up our football boots just yet. Yes, we can take some time to celebrate our wins, but we’re all hands on deck for 2023 planning.
