Sep 24, 2025 By Squared Up In Squared Up
Managed Service Providers (MSPs) live and die by their data. Externally, clients expect clear reporting, fast responses, and visible proof of value. Internally, smooth operations and low overheads are essential to business success. But with so many tools, key data is scattered across multiple systems – PSA, RMM, cloud services, ticketing, monitoring, finance – and that causes blind spots. Dashboards fix this problem by consolidating data into a single view.

As engineering organizations scale, project visibility becomes a real challenge. Engineering managers lose track of what's actually happening across multiple teams. Executives ask "are we on track?" and get conflicting answers. Status meetings multiply but clarity doesn't improve. The root problem isn't lack of data, modern engineering teams generate tons of project information across JIRA, GitHub, CI/CD pipelines, and project management tools.

Faster, more memory-efficient performance in Grafana Mimir: a closer look at Mimir Query Engine

Sep 17, 2025 By Jon Kartago Lamida In Grafana
Until recently, Grafana Mimir — our open source, horizontally scalable, multi-tenant time series database (TSDB) — has exclusively used Prometheus’ PromQL engine to evaluate queries.

To address this memory consumption issue, we recently introduced Mimir Query Engine (MQE).
