Dashboarding OCI costs: A guide to building a usage API with OCI functions and SquaredUp

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) provides powerful tools for managing your cloud resources, but getting a clear, real-time view of your usage and costs can sometimes feel locked away behind complex reports. What if you could build beautiful, shareable dashboards that show you exactly what you're spending, where you're spending it, and how it trends over time? In this guide, we'll walk you through deploying a simple, secure OCI Function that acts as a proxy to OCI's Usage API.

When it doesn’t, you’re left staring at noisy data, gaps in traces, and spans that don’t quite tell the story. Over the last few months, we’ve been chipping away at that problem.

How AI-Native Data Pipelines Accelerate Threat Hunting

Every security incident starts as a small signal: an unusual connection, a mistyped command, or a subtle change in behavior. The challenge is that most of these signals are buried in mountains of noise. Modern SOCs process terabytes of telemetry each day, but only a fraction contains real indicators of compromise. Without intelligent detection and prioritization, valuable warning signs get lost in the flood of low-value events.
