As the size and complexity of database estates increases, with more workloads and data being hosted on more platforms, both on-premises and in the cloud, so the appeal of third-party database monitoring tools has also grown. Their ability to provide a holistic view of an entire estate and monitor multiple databases and platforms from a single dashboard has been shown to save DBAs and IT teams many hours of time when compared to home-grown solutions.

AWS DynamoDB is a fully managed NoSQL database provided by Amazon Web Services. It is a fast and flexible database service which has been built for scale.

Logs and log management have been around far longer than monitoring and it is easy to forget just how useful and essential they can be for modern observability. Most of you will know us for VictoriaMetrics, our open source time series database and monitoring solution.

The last few years have seen a big change in the size, make-up, and nature of database estates. Data is growing both in volume and complexity, it is now normal to have workloads as well as data in multiple public clouds, and organizations are increasingly using different kinds of databases for different use cases.

Part 1 of the series of posts which talk about engineering design decisions to make high cardinality work in time-series databases.
