Keeping track of application usage and the installation of software on your Android phone or tablet is an essential activity, both for device management and your overall security. In this regard, it’s also advisable to monitor how your Android applications are tracking you, in terms of your physical location, activities on the local device, and online. Here are some tips on how to achieve this.
In a previous post, I demonstrated how to call InfluxDB APIs from AWS Lambda, but the setup is fairly manual and the results are not portable. Ideally, we as a community can expand and share ways to collect and process time series data. To that end, I want to share a CloudFormation template. CloudFormation is AWS’ infrastructure as code service that lets you define almost any AWS component in a configuration file.
You’ve made promises to your customers and end users, quantifying them in SLAs (service-level agreements) to instill confidence that those commitments will be honored. SLAs give users peace of mind. But what about your peace of mind? How can you guarantee your hybrid infrastructure and applications are continuously meeting or exceeding those SLAs? I’m going to explore how to ensure SLAs are met to maintain productivity and protect revenue.
EnerKey’s CTO Martti Kontula recently presented on how EnerKey uses InfluxDB Enterprise and Microsoft Azure to power their IoT platform which enables their customers to save millions of euros! Their analytics platform uses sensor data to detect energy usage fluctuations triggered by weather and geospatial data. If you missed attending the live session, we have shared the recording and the slides for everyone to review and watch at your leisure.
Event-driven applications have become the foundation for developing modern digital applications. Application workflows are easier to automate with serverless frameworks, and Amazon EventBridge has revolutionized the way serverless applications are built. Since serverless is the new cool kid in the town, there has been a lot of infrastructure reengineering. This blog describes how alert-driven business logic can automate serverless workflows using Amazon EventBridge.
As many of you already know, we created Grafana using AngularJS, but we have been migrating to React for about two years now. One of the big missing pieces in our migration puzzle was the templating system. This post starts in late 2019 when I first got my hands on this mysterious and complex area of the Grafana code base.
Amazon Web Services Elasticsearch Service enables an organization to deploy, secure, and run their Elasticsearch clusters. AWS Elasticsearch is a cost-effective way to operate at scale. In this article, we will cover.
Since the beginning, Sentry has adopted SemVer (semantic versioning) for all of its open source releases — major versions indicated breaking, backward-incompatible changes; minor versions meant new features, and patch releases were bug fixes only. This process worked fine for a long time. As the open source project evolved and grew into Sentry.io – our SaaS offering – the development team switched to a continuous delivery model.
Around the world, operations teams are working to automate their monitoring and alerting workflows, looking to reduce the time they spend on rote operational work (what we call “toil”), so they can spend more time on valuable work. For instance, Google’s Site Reliability Engineering organization aims to keep toil below 50% of an SRE’s time, freeing them up to work on more impactful engineering projects.
