Early Observability in Platform Engineering: Challenges and Solutions

Since the emergence of the cloud, the DevOps movement, and the rise of microservices, developers have been increasingly responsible for the operation of their software. “You build it, you run it” (YBYR) and “You build it, you operate it” (YBYO) have become common mantras in the software engineering industry. However, there’s a misunderstanding in this statement. Developers should remain focused on building software.

Data Pipelining with InfluxDB

In this blog post, we’ll explore how to build a data pipeline using Kafka, Faust, and InfluxDB to effectively ingest, transform, and store data. We’ll start with an overview of Kafka, a high-performance messaging platform, and Faust, a Python library designed for stream processing, now maintained by the community as Faust-streaming.
