Organizations of all sizes rely on their observability data to drive critical business decisions. Production Engineers across Development, ITOps, and Security use it to understand their systems better, respond to issues faster, and ultimately provide more performant and secure user experiences. But while the value of observability data is well understood, teams struggle to derive value from it.
Although Java has been around for 27 years, enterprise applications still favor it as one of their preferred platforms. Java's functionality and programming flexibility increased concurrently with technological advancement, keeping it a useful language for more than 25 years. Outstanding examples of this progression include new garbage collection algorithms and memory management systems.
MITRE is a world-renowned research organization that aims to help build a safer world. It is probably best known in the information security industry for being the organization behind the industry-standard CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) list. Each entry on the list is supposed to include an explanation of how the vulnerability could be exploited. These attack vectors are tracked and defined in another well-known knowledge base called ATT&CK, which is also maintained by MITRE.
Think open source – the world’s leading software portfolio. Open-source software enables you to build fully functional virtualisation and cloud infrastructure while ensuring total cost of ownership (TCO) reduction and business continuity. In this blog, we will walk you through the open source ecosystem. We will help you understand how it differs from other VMware alternatives by answering five common questions.
Google just announced that they have submitted an application for Kubeflow to become an incubating project in the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). It is an initiative supported by the Kubeflow Project Steering group. The request is visible to everyone and it represents a game changer for the rhythm which Kubeflow will develop. It makes community growth a strategic objective and puts Kubeflow on a development fast track.
As long as humans have written software, we’ve needed to understand why our expectations (the logic we thought we wrote) don’t match reality (the logic being executed). To that end, we developed techniques to help measure reality—logging text strings, or capturing aggregated metrics—and persevered, seeking out newer and fancier logging or monitoring solutions over the intervening decades.
In the first post of this series, I detailed ways companies considering cloud adoption can achieve quick wins in performance and cost savings. While these benefits of the cloud certainly remain true in theory, realizing these benefits in practice can be increasingly difficult as applications and their networks become more complex.
Many organizations have been digitally transforming their operations and the majority of them are moving to the cloud. With this transformation, data teams have to analyze ever larger and more complex data sets to allow downstream teams to make faster and more accurate decisions on a daily basis. Consequently, most organizations need to work with: customer data, product data, usage data, advertising data, and financial data.
Before you can choose the proper tools for your organization, you have to understand its essential business processes. Once you know an essential business process, you can review software applications that will help make your organization more efficient and accurate. Unfortunately, many organizations do not understand their essential business processes. This makes it nearly impossible for them to streamline their organizations, which puts them at a disadvantage in the marketplace.
Two years ago I announced that InfluxData was working on a new core for InfluxDB, a project we named InfluxDB IOx. InfluxDB IOx is a cloud-native, real-time, columnar database optimized for time series data built in Rust on top of Apache Arrow and DataFusion. Today I’m excited to announce that we deployed our next-generation storage engine that’s built on InfluxDB IOx in our InfluxDB Cloud platform.
