The new Grafana Cloud: the only composable observability stack for metrics, logs, and traces, now with free and paid plans to suit every use case

Oftentimes users of open source are told to go download it and figure it out… or pay for a managed solution in the cloud. So the typical choice is free and do-it-yourself or expensive and easy. With our new changes to Grafana Cloud, we are making it both free and easy to have a real, composable observability solution.

How to build the ideal dev team dashboard

So you’ve now finally finished putting all the pieces together – transitioned to Azure, deployed resources, deployed applications, got familiar with Azure Monitor and set up all the monitoring. You’re now collecting all the monitoring, application performance and security data for your Azure resources in Log Analytics workspaces, ready for analysis.

Sentry Receives SOC 2 Type 2 Certification

No matter your business, keeping customer data secure is critical toward keeping your customer’s trust. With the rise in data breaches (and subsequent security certifications), we don’t have to tell you why you should scrutinize every cloud service that you consider — including us.

Save Time and Money by Automatically Deleting Unused Azure Load Balancers

Using the cloud reduces on-premises infrastructure costs and related maintenance. Instead of deploying more servers, storage, and networking components to your own datacenter, you are now deploying these as cloud resources. Using the cloud is supposed to reduce infrastructure and maintenance costs.

Handling failures when deploying to multiple databases with SQL Change Automation

How do you handle deployment failures with a single-tenant database architecture?

For example: One approach that seems simplest to folks is wrapping the entire multi-database deployment into a single transaction.

Manage complex IT projects with modern Gantt

An IT project can introduce a variety of challenges during implementation. The IT team handling the project should constantly improvise and embrace mid-project adjustments to make sure everything is in place. This is especially true when dealing with a company-wide change that might come with varying levels of complexity, risk, and impact. Project management in ITSM ensures seamless implementation of complex IT projects within the stipulated deadline.
