Today we’re pleased to announce the general availability of InfluxDB Enterprise on Microsoft’s Azure Marketplace. We’ll dive into all of these below, but first, let’s take a step back in case you’re not familiar with time series databases. If you’re looking for a time series database, here are three things to look for.

Last year we announced an expanded partnership with Google to bring Elasticsearch Service to even more Google Cloud users. We were also named one of Google Cloud's partners of the year! We've since deepened our partnership, and today we are proud to announce new ways to purchase and discover Elasticsearch Service in the Google Cloud Marketplace. You can now purchase monthly Gold and Platinum subscriptions as well as Standard, Gold, and Platinum annual subscriptions through the marketplace.

Jaeger is a popular distributed tracing project hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). In the Elastic APM 7.6.0 release we added support for ingesting Jaeger traces directly into the Elastic Stack. Elasticsearch has long been a primary storage backend for Jaeger. Due to its fast search capabilities and horizontal scalability, Elasticsearch makes an excellent choice for storing and searching trace data, along with other observability data such as logs, metrics, and uptime data.

When it comes to cybersecurity, the landscape is constantly changing: the number of cyberattacks is always on the rise, the attacks themselves are becoming more sophisticated, and there’s a serious skills shortage in the industry. There’s a lot to learn about cybersecurity if you want to keep up and keep your users protected.

Here at Sumo Logic, we share a lot of thoughts about managing data at scale, and the innovative ways we help customers address their unique use cases. It’s not just about analysis of logs. In this article, I will talk about another important observability signal: distributed traces. I will share a few observations about how we at Sumo think about the future of adoption of distributed traces, a very important concept, taking from our own experience.

Microsoft Build, Microsoft’s annual developer conference, is taking place virtually May 19-20. Ubuntu will be featured throughout the event, in announcements of new WSL features, demos of cloud-native development on Microsoft Azure, and by presenters using Ubuntu desktop with native Microsoft applications like Teams, Code, and Edge. In an address by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella the company announced new features coming to WSL 2.

A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a collection of distributed nodes, called edge servers, connected to the same origin servers and placed local to the users’ location. If you are using a CDN, your website content is delivered to the user from the nearest edge server to their location. Without a CDN, you are putting stress on the origin server every time a user requests something.

Ever since the work from home (WFH) and study from home (SFH) initiatives became widespread due to the outbreak of COVID-19, there has been a huge effort among organizations to either set up new broadband connections or upgrade existing connections with higher bandwidth speeds. No matter the number of command centers an internet service provider (ISP) might have, keeping up with users’ demands—whether it’s about network speed or volume—can be a colossal undertaking.

Week after week, developers work tirelessly to publish updates that improve the stability of their mobile applications, so people like me can rely on our phones for work, play, and even occasional childcare. So to all those on a bug fix rotation right now: thank you. Unfortunately, my appreciation isn’t actually a great indicator of a release’s success. Developers are looking to Sentry to provide insights like version adoption, crash-free sessions, crash-free users, etc.
