Context switching is the process of switching the CPU from one process, task or thread to another. In a multitasking operating system, such as Linux, the CPU has to switch between multiple processes or threads in order to keep the system running smoothly. This is necessary because each CPU core without hyperthreading can only execute one process or thread at a time.

Swap memory, also known as virtual memory, is a space on a hard disk that is used to supplement the physical memory (RAM) of a computer. The swap space is used when the system runs out of physical memory, and it moves less frequently accessed data from RAM to the hard disk, freeing up space in RAM for more frequently accessed data. But should swap memory be enabled on production systems and cloud-provided virtual machines (VMs)? Let's explore the pros and cons.
Cost optimization has been one of the hottest topics in observability (and beyond!) lately. Everyone is striving to be efficient, spend money wisely, and get the most out of every dollar invested. At Logz.io, we recently embarked on a very interesting and fruitful data volume optimization journey, reducing our own internal log volume by a whopping 50%.

As soon as you put your observability data into a SaaS vendors’ storage, it’s now their data, and it’s difficult to get it out or reuse it for other purposes. As a result, strategic independence is becoming increasingly important as organizations decide what data management tools they’re going to invest time and resources into.
