Apache Cassandra Monitoring: Tools, Challenges & Best Practices

When your distributed database architecture scales to handle massive workloads, keeping tabs on everything becomes critical and complex. With its masterless architecture and linear scalability, Apache Cassandra powers mission-critical applications across industries—but without proper monitoring, you might as well be flying blind through a storm.

Why Data Harmonization is Critical to Your AIOps Strategy

Picture this: Your phone rings in the middle of the night. It’s your engineering lead, calling to inform you of a significant outage affecting your customer-facing services. As your network operations team jumps into action, they’re greeted with chaos. Over 40 alerts flood their screens simultaneously. Your network, infrastructure monitoring, and application performance monitoring tools all fire independently, each with its own dashboard and presenting data in incompatible formats.

CI/CD preprocessing pipelines in LLM applications

In Large Language Model (LLM) applications, the quality of the training data is paramount in determining the final model performance. One of the most important steps in preparing datasets is cleaning and transforming raw data into similar and usable formats. However, this process can be tedious and time-consuming when done manually. Automating these data cleaning workflows is essential to improve efficiency and maintain consistency across multiple datasets.

Why Reliability Starts with the Network, even in the AI era, with Marino Wijay

In this episode, we explore how networking has shaped reliability as we know it. Marino Wijay cloud networking expert and Staff Solutions Architect at Kong shares how his journey began not as an SRE, but with cables, routers, and switches. Marino explains the evolution of the fabric holding systems together through virtualization, and how software-defined networking, which is now a key element to resilient applications.

The Hidden Cost of DIY AI in Network Operations

While AI offers powerful benefits for network operations, building an in-house AI solution presents major challenges, particularly around complex data engineering, staffing specialized roles, and maintaining models over time. The effort required to handle real-time telemetry, retrain models, and manage evolving environments is often too great for most IT teams.

Colo is not dead. | Uplink Podcast | Episode 4

Colo is not dead. Forget cloud-only strategies—AI is driving a resurgence in colocation and a rethink of what hybrid infrastructure really means. AI has flipped the script on how we think about digital infrastructure. In this episode, we’re joined by TierPoint SVP Don Schuett to explore how the surge in AI demand has fundamentally reshaped the data center industry—impacting everything from hardware design to real estate strategy.
