Cribl.Cloud Goes to Washington: Cribl.Cloud Government FedRAMP Authority to Operate Milestone

Way back in 2009, when I was serving as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army, I worked in a network operations center for a deployed Army unit. Our mission was to provide network connectivity across central and northern Iraq. Our observability tools were incredibly limited. We had a network map that would turn nodes and network links red, yellow, and green when they were up or down. We had to write down in a physical logbook any status changes and what we did about them.

Cribl.Cloud Government Is a New Era of Secure Cloud Telemetry for Federal Agencies

As a Co-founder and CPO at Cribl, I'm genuinely stoked that our new federal suite, Cribl.Cloud Government, has achieved an “In Process” designation under the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP). This isn’t any old milestone. We’re bringing all of Cribl’s kickass capabilities to government agencies, even those that require the strictest compliance and security standards. Because, who doesn’t love a good set of rules?

AI's Impact on Software Devs Productivity & Downsides

AI is boosting flow, job satisfaction, and productivity for devs. But here’s the twist: it’s not actually giving us more time to do valuable work. In his GitKon talk, Nathen Harvey digs into the real impacts of AI adoption in technical teams. Yes, AI reduces toil and improves satisfaction. But it also shifts how we spend our time and sometimes that means less “valuable work” gets done. So the question becomes: how can we use AI not just to work faster, but to work better?

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

Until recently, Grafana Mimir — our open source, horizontally scalable, multi-tenant time series database (TSDB) — has exclusively used Prometheus’ PromQL engine to evaluate queries. While the PromQL engine works great, it sometimes needs a lot of memory to run, specifically in the Mimir querier component. To address this memory consumption issue, we recently introduced Mimir Query Engine (MQE).

What is Asynchronous Job Monitoring?

Modern applications don’t process everything inside the request/response path. To keep APIs responsive, time-consuming work like image resizing, payment processing, or data syncs is moved into background queues. Workers then pick up these asynchronous jobs and run them outside the main thread. Asynchronous job monitoring is the practice of tracking these background tasks: Without this visibility, background workers become a blind spot.
