Financial institutions handle vast amounts of sensitive and confidential data, including customer information, transaction details, and regulatory compliance records. A trusted database ensures the security and privacy of this sensitive information, protecting it from unauthorised access, breaches, or cyber threats. MongoDB is the ideal fit, and it’s one of the most widely used databases in the financial services industry. It provides a sturdy, adaptable and trustworthy foundation.

Database Administrators (DBAs) rely on time series data every day, even if they don’t think of time series data as a unique data type. They rely on metrics such as CPU usage, memory utilization, and query response times to monitor and optimize databases. These metrics inherently have a time component, making them time series data. However, traditional databases aren’t specifically designed to handle the unique characteristics and workloads associated with time series data.

Edge data centers are transforming the way we process and deliver data, catering to the skyrocketing demands of modern applications and services. The global edge computing market size was recently valued at USD 11.24 billion and is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 37.9% from 2023 to 2030. By 2025, more than 75% of all enterprise-generated data will be created and processed outside of the traditional data center or cloud.

What a year! In 2023, we set a new record by delivering over 150 innovative features, making it the most productive year since I joined CloudHealth! From rightsizing to forecasting to policies, let’s dig into what we’ve shipped this year organized by the three phases of maturity as defined by the FinOps Foundation.

Imagine an AI assistant that could automatically surface a whole host of useful incident response data points with just a prompt. Well, you won't need to imagine for much longer. That's exactly what we built in Assistant, one of our newest features powered by AI. In this episode, you'll hear from Charlie, the project lead for Assistant, to get a peek behind this game-changing product.

Complex systems require many different monitors to assess the health of their infrastructure and applications, creating a wealth of alerts that can be hard to track. Due to a lack of effective triage processes, many organizations page engineers for every alert that comes in, making it difficult to separate false positives from issues that actually require immediate attention.

Tracing provides indispensable insights into the state and performance of distributed applications, but it can often be difficult to determine the root cause or ultimate business impact of issues indicated by traces. Translating visibility of individual microservices into broader performance insights often requires drawing complex correlations between spans. This can be a laborious process, which can complicate everything from troubleshooting and triage to tracking KPIs and managing costs.

One of the major trends in software development in the last decade has been “shifting left” responsibilities that have traditionally been under operation’s domain to earlier in the software development life cycle (SDLC). It first came in the form of DevOps where a lot of the software engineering best practices were introduced to the deploy, operate, monitor phases. Such examples include continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) and Infrastructure as Code (IaC).

In our interconnected world of technology, where we work tirelessly even on this Valentine’s Day, the reliance of our businesses on digital platforms and services has never been greater. Amidst this, the efficiency and efficacy of large organizations depend on openness and transparency from their IT systems and the professionals managing them. One of the unsung heroes in this realm is the often-overlooked status page.
