Graphite is a powerful open-source time series database used for storing, retrieving, and visualizing changing numeric data points over time. With its robust monitoring system, Graphite can efficiently handle large data loads without compromising performance. In this article, we delve into the basics of Graphite, focusing on its primary component, Carbon.

Today we’re happy to announce our new open source, scalable logging solution, VictoriaLogs, which helps users and enterprises expand their current monitoring of applications into a more strategic ‘state of all systems’ enterprise-wide observability. Many existing logging solutions on the market today offer IT professionals a limited window into live operations of databases and clusters.

As the first point of contact with customers, a well-performing website can have a significant impact on the overall reputation of your business. Therefore, if a page is not functioning as it should on your website, this could have a detrimental effect. Have you ever been on a website and found it is not working as it should?

Over the last decade, log management has been largely dominated by the ELK Stack – a once-open source tool set that collects, processes, stores and analyzes log data. The ‘k’ in the ELK Stack represents Kibana, which is the component engineers use to query and visualize their log data stored in Elasticsearch. Sadly, in January 2021, Elastic decided to close source the ELK Stack, and as a result, OpenSearch was launched by AWS as an open source replacement.

In the realm of cloud computing, communication and integration form the backbone of any robust architecture. With the exponential rise in distributed systems, the need for a reliable, scalable, and efficient message delivery system is more pertinent than ever. This is where Azure Service Bus, a cloud-based messaging service provided by Microsoft, becomes a game-changer.

Edge computing is defined by bringing compute resources out of remote, centralised facilities and putting them at the source of the data itself. Processing and analysis is done where the data is actually generated. The performance and cost improvements that edge computing delivers are based on this proximity. By situating our data centres close to major populations, we have delivered these benefits to many UK businesses. It is an inherently ‘local’ idea.
