AIOps (artificial intelligence for IT operations)

Artificial intelligence for IT operations (AIOps) is an umbrella term for the use of big data analytics, machine learning (ML) and other artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to automate the identification and resolution of common IT issues. The systems, services and applications in a large enterprise produce immense volumes of log and performance data. AIOps uses this data to monitor assets and gain visibility into dependencies within and outside of IT systems.

Platform Engineering: DevOps Evolution or a Fancy Re-name?

Everyone’s talking about Platform Engineering these days. Even Gartner recently featured it in its Hype Cycle for Software Engineering 2022. But what is Platform Engineering really about?

Introducing Grafana Faro, an open source project for frontend application observability

Today, during the ObservabilityCon 2022 keynote session, we announced a new open source project for frontend application observability, Grafana Faro. The project is launching with a highly configurable web SDK that instruments web applications to capture observability signals. This frontend telemetry can then be correlated with backend and infrastructure data for seamless, full-stack observability. There’s supposed to be a video here, but for some reason there isn’t.
