Can you monitor us now? That was the question Verizon started asking as the Fortune 500 company expanded its portfolio beyond communications services to include brands such as Yahoo! and Huffpost. “We’re not just grandma’s landline,” Sean Thomas, Verizon Systems Engineering Manager, told the audience at GrafanaCon in L.A. “We’re not just your mobile provider. We are a media company. We have 5G solutions. We’re building technology.

There is a lot of dogma around shipping a product in startup land. Many founders follow strict patterns they got from a book or some influencer's tweet. "Ship Early" is one of the more stubborn ones, and in many cases it is exactly the right thing to do. The earlier you start learning about what your users' problems and how your product solves that, the better. I shipped Checkly fairly late.

The global predictive maintenance market is expected to grow to $6.3 billion by 2022, according to a report by Market Research Future. However, a new paradigm is required for analyzing real-time IoT data. Predictive maintenance, which is the ability to use data-driven analytics to optimize capital equipment upkeep, is already used or will be used by 83 percent of manufacturing companies in the next two years.

Last week, our CTO, Todd Kesselman, presented on "Driving AWS Infrastructure Insights into Kafka" in downtown Vancouver, Canada. In his presentation, he revealed an unobtrusive way to share a wide range of operational information between organizations in a way that can easily be incorporated into your event pipeline. The featured technology is the AWS Event Bus. To clarify, the Event Bus is a message bus that enables multiple AWS accounts to publish and receive events to and from each other.
This week Intel released a statement regarding Microarchitectural Data Sampling (MDS), another vulnerability in the "speculative execution" feature of modern processors. This is for HyperThreading and is the feature that allows the CPU to work out what commands will be run next, if they would affect the current running command and if not, run it on the same core.
One of the chief complexities in running large scale containerized applications is the need for continuous systems/application monitoring. Containers are very different from traditional VMs and the 3 tier applications that run on them. Monitoring that needs to ensure that SLAs promised to the business are being met as well as an ability to forecast usage trends while identifying problem areas such as bugs, capacity challenges, slowing performance, and any potential downtime.
Last week, Rachel published a guide describing the advantages of dynamic sampling. In it, we discussed varying sample rates to achieve a target collection rate overall, and having different sample rates for distinct kinds of keys. We also teased the idea of combining the two techniques to preserve the most important events and traces for debugging without drowning them out in a sea of noise.
