Recently, the JetBrains .NET advocacy team published a deep-dive post powered by data we retrieved from the official NuGet APIs with the goal of better understanding our community's OSS past and trying to predict trends into the future. This resulted in a giant dataset. Given our experience with Elasticsearch, we knew that the best tool to process millions of records was what we're calling the NECK stack: .NET, Elasticsearch, CSV, and Kibana.

Elastic Maps added several exciting features with the release of Kibana 7.10 that let you do even more with your location data. From making it easier to upload files with latitude and longitude fields to being able to trigger an alert when something moves across a boundary, there are a host of jaw droppingly cool new things to check out. I’ll be providing a good overview in this blog, but to see the real magic, I’d suggest: Now onto the good stuff!

Ease of use and outstanding user experience have always been a top priority for us, and we consider them to be a key factor in our success. Recent years have seen enterprise customers also looking for a self-service, low-friction user experience – and part of that includes access to extensive educational content, for all the stages of the product onboarding process and all levels of usage.

For decades, Microsoft SQL has been a leading relational database solution within Windows-based environments. The extension of Microsoft SQL support to Linux servers in 2017 made the platform even more popular. There’s a good chance that, no matter which types of infrastructure or servers you manage, there are Microsoft SQL databases residing somewhere on them. That’s why it’s critical to understand the fundamentals of Microsoft SQL monitoring.

Ubuntu and Launchpad use OpenPGP keys heavily. Each source package is signed with the uploader’s key, and binary and source package downloads from Ubuntu’s primary archives and from users’ Personal Package Archives (PPAs) are indirectly signed by the publisher process with per-archive keys of its own. Access to Launchpad’s bug-manipulation interface is also controlled by OpenPGP. As a result, Launchpad needs a reliable key-storage and synchronization mechanism.

As an administrator, you want to enable your users and not restrict them wherever possible. But this means you will have to keep track of your users. In the end, you are responsible if some critical alert is not properly escalated.

Server monitoring is a valuable tool when it is set up and configured correctly. With a server monitoring service, there are several things you can do if you have the right knowledge. Obtaining that knowledge is easy when you have experts in your employee or on contract. For others, access to experts is not as easy to come by.

The first keynote is over, the talks have started, and the AWS Heroes all got to feel motion-sick but appreciated in their AWS-supplied VR helmets. Good one Tom Here are my week 1 thoughts: Throughout the keynote it was clear that serverless is here to stay. One detail stood out to me above all others: Nearly half of all new compute workloads in Amazon in 2020 were Lambda based. During Andy Jassy’s keynote, a veritable wall of major customers that use Lambda.

So you’re using InfluxDB Cloud, and you’re writing millions of metrics to your account. You’re also running a variety of downsampling and data transformation tasks. Whether you’re building an IoT application on top of InfluxDB or monitoring your production environment with InfluxDB, your time series operations are finally running smoothly. You want to keep it that way.

We are excited to partner with AWS and announce the availability of InfluxDB on the new Amazon Elastic Container Registry Public announced this week at AWS re:Invent. With this new registry, developers can now find their favorite open source products from within the AWS developer experience. At InfluxData, we believe it is important to bring our product — InfluxDB — to the platforms and ecosystems where our developers are building. And of course, many of our developers are building on AWS.
