The why and what we learned from surveying 1,900 engineering teams around their best practices to build, scale, and maintain high availability.

One of the core features of Cribl Stream is our Replay capability. We pride ourselves on giving customers choice and control over their data. The ability to archive data in cheap object storage, and then providing the ability to reach into the same object storage is one example of this. It’s safe to say that S3 and AWS have become synonymous with the term object storage. It’s like a modern day Kleenex, or Band-Aid.

Accurate, fair budgets make everyone in the company happy. Engineers love when they can build products that make the company money, executives enjoy seeing nice, wide margins, and finance departments celebrate when everything goes according to plan. But keeping the budget for cloud computing reasonable can seem like a lofty goal when your company’s cloud spending seems to change with the direction of the wind.

G2 reports that nearly 70% of IT professionals state that IT environments have increased in complexity compared to just two years ago. More complex IT environments suggest the need for increased monitoring and management to ensure that all components efficiently work together. When you add more applications and software to IT management, it can complicate the management process if solutions don’t integrate or there isn’t structure with how the applications work together.

Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, denial-of-service (DoS) attacks impacting availability have been rising. The attacks aren’t only affecting Russia and Ukraine either. Public and private organizations in multiple industries have been impacted, and several nations—including the U.S. and U.K.—have issued warnings about cyberthreats from Russia.

Incident management is easily one of the most annoying things anyone has to ever deal with. There will always be only a handful of people who would ever want to walk into the building on fire to mitigate. That’s the same with most engineering teams. Only a handful are willing to get in, find the root cause, and mitigate the incident.

Heroku is a cloud provider well known for its simplicity and its support out of the box for multiple programming languages. When thinking about consuming logs from applications hosted in Heroku, Grafana Loki is a great choice. But in the past, shipping logs from Heroku to any Loki instance required ad-hoc scripts to fiddle with Heroku’s logs format and send them. This can be a time-consuming experience.

If you’ve ever had a website or service go down as you were using it, then you’ll understand the irritation of a generic error message and a plea to “Be patient!” (if you’re lucky). It’s almost like they know they’re not telling you the full story. The companies that are on top of their outage game will have a prepared link or redirect to their Status Page (or at least, have one prominently displayed on their pages and social media) for times like these.

Mergers and acquisitions are complex. So complex, in fact, that up to 90% fail. One of the biggest risks for M&A failure comes during technology integration. At this stage, enterprise security, compliance, and employee productivity can all be irreparably disrupted. IT needs to walk a fine line between staying on schedule and maintaining stability.
