It’s not new news that organizations are producing more data than ever. But, in order to take advantage of this data, it needs to be collected, stored, retained, and then, at some point, analyzed. Most analysis tools also act as the retention point for this data. While this may (at first) appear to be the best option for performance, it quickly creates significant problems. First, those systems were never designed for the scale of today’s growing volume of data, currently at a 28% CAGR.

Now more than ever, modern networks play a pivotal role in today’s business operations. However, this increased importance comes with a challenge: Modern networks are becoming increasingly complex and heterogeneous. Network managers need to ensure optimal performance across various domains—from the data center to multi-cloud and software-defined networks. This requires the consolidation of vast amounts of data from across multi-vendor networks, including environments managed by third parties.

The.NET programming language is taking cloud native deployment and observability seriously, and most notably with the recent announcement of.NET Aspire stack unveiled at the recent.NET Conf 2023. In the latest episode of OpenObservability Talks, we reviewed the journey to making.NET a “by default, out of the box observable platform,” as ASP.NET Core creator David Fowler put it.

SRE and IT Operations play a critical role in ensuring reliable, high-performance applications. Yet, SREs (Site Reliability Engineers) often face ‘thrown-over-the-wall’ code deployments to operate without having insights into the code-level features. In my previous article (“Is your Java Observability tool Lambda Expressions aware?”), I delved into one such code-level feature: Java lambda expressions which replace anonymous inner classes.

A few days ago, I challenged myself: Could I create a CPU throttling monitor without using StackState's docs page? I'll go a bit deeper into CPU throttling later, but first: Why this mission? At StackState, we believe that every software developer should be able to observe the health and reliability of their own application — quickly and easily.

In recent years, hybrid cloud environments have emerged as a popular, if not de facto, choice for many organizations seeking flexibility, scalability, and security in their IT infrastructure. Industry research firm Mordor Intelligence pegs hybrid cloud as a nearly $130bn market in 2024, growing at a better than 22% clip over the next five years.
