It all started with monolith architecture; business logic, user interfaces, and data layers were stored in one big program. As tightly coupled applications, a simple update to the program meant recompiling the entire application and redistributing the program to all users. That led to the difficulty of maintaining consistent program versions and distribution across all clients in order to ensure stability and alignment. This made the monolith approach inefficient and cumbersome.

Responsible for collecting various system and service metrics and forwarding them downstream to a backend storage system, the role metric collectors play in monitoring pipelines is crucial. Despite this fact, they often get left in the shadows cast by the beautiful frontend analysis tools like Kibana or Grafana. In the world of open source monitoring stacks, Metricbeat and Telegraf stand out as the most popular metric collectors. The truth is that they do much more than simply collect metrics.

One of the oldest (but often neglected) security vulnerabilities is SQL injection. One common scenario goes like this: An unsuspecting programmer writes an application that accepts input from the user which serves as a parameter to retrieve or store data from a database (e.g., a web login form). The programmer writes a dynamically populated SQL query inside the app, based on user input like username and password (see Image 1 for reference).
