Today, I’m thrilled to announce the introduction of Logz.io Open 360™. This is a major step in our journey. Open 360 is a unified platform for modern engineering teams requiring end-to-end observability across logs, metrics and traces—delivered in an intuitive user interface. Open 360™ is specifically designed to enable engineers to have deep monitoring and insights into distributed systems.

This article is based on conversations with Lætitia Avrot, Field CTO at EDB and David Tuite Founder of Roadie from our webinar on the Who What Where and Why of Commercial Open Source that you can watch here.

A look at what Parquet is, how it works and some of the companies using its optimization techniques as a critical component in their architecture. As the amount of data being generated and stored for analysis grows at an increasing rate, developers are looking to optimize performance and reduce costs at every angle possible. At the petabyte scale, even marginal gains and optimizations can save companies millions of dollars in hardware costs when it comes to storing and processing their data.

So you have just installed the latest antivirus and turned on your shiny new firewall. Now your organisation is fully secure, right? The reality is that all the security products in the world will never be able to fully protect your data centre or your business from security threats. Because of the asymmetry between attackers and enterprises, cybersecurity is a problem that can never be solved and is never going away.

Critics of open source software have long argued that giving everyone access to a project’s source code creates security issues. But in active projects with highly engaged communities, the opposite is actually true: Open source software helps organizations become more secure. That said, any piece of technology can be exploited.
