In today’s digital age, the most effective organizations are using data to fuel innovation and accelerate business strategies. Data continues to be at the heart of business growth. Organizations increasingly rely on technology to manage and store their data. Questions about ownership, control, and security have emerged — leading to the rise of a concept known as data sovereignty. In this post we’ll explore.
A Dark Network Operations Center (NOC) is one that runs with no IT staff … at least that’s how it’s been defined up until now. But there’s more to interpret. Large, complex networks rely on the NOC — the core of network infrastructure — to keep them healthy and resilient. The NOC’s function allows employees, customers, partners, and other network users to rest a bit easier, and its integrity and accuracy gives them peace of mind.
Grafana dashboards are powerful and flexible tools for observing applications and infrastructure, so it’s no surprise we get a lot of questions from the community about how to embed them into their web applications. Over the past few releases, we’ve developed a lot of options for how to do this in Grafana, but there can be confusion about how they work, and when to use each approach.
Grafana Agent v0.37 is here! This new release brings a lot of exciting new features and marks the pinnacle of a year-long effort to achieve feature parity between Grafana Agent Flow mode and Grafana Agent Static mode.

Please make note of some breaking changes in this release.
Today’s applications are designed to be always available and serve users 24/7. Performing live debugging on such applications is akin to doctors operating on a patient. Since the advent of the “as a service” model, software is like a living, breathing entity, akin to an anatomical system. Operating on such entities requires more dexterity on the developer’s part, to ensure that the software application lives on while being debugged and improved continuously.
Continuous integration (CI) is the process of integrating changes from multiple contributors to create a single software project. A key component for a smooth CI pipeline is testing. Tests prove that the code does exactly what it says on the tin and that it’s safe to merge the code into the central repository. Tests also anticipate edge cases and ensure that the code handles such cases in a deterministic manner.
