When Netflix buffers or AWS goes down, teams spring into action. But how do they identify and fix issues so quickly? The secret lies in intelligent DevOps monitoring, a system that not only watches but understands your infrastructure’s behavior. In this hands-on guide, we’ll build a modern monitoring pipeline that helps you catch and resolve issues before your users notice them. We have prepared a sample Python application that we encourage you to play with to understand the system in action.

Apache DataFusion has reached an inflection point. It has matured beyond early adopters and is now a viable choice for anyone building highly performant analytic systems. I predict 2025 will bring a significant acceleration in the number of systems built on DataFusion, and my focus this year is to help drive that growth.

InfluxDB is a purpose-built time series database designed to handle high-write throughput and large volumes of time-stamped data. From monitoring system metrics to tracking IoT device readings and analyzing financial trends, it excels in scenarios where time is a fundamental factor. With the release of InfluxDB v3, users now benefit from dual query language support: SQL and InfluxQL.

This tech paper was created by IIoT World and InfluxDB. This post was originally published on IIoT World. The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is revolutionizing industries like manufacturing, energy, and logistics by creating more intelligent, interconnected systems that elevate productivity and efficiency. With IIoT, machines, systems, and sensors are linked in real-time, streamlining industrial automation and making predictive maintenance a reality—all while reducing downtime and costs.

The stakes are high in Aerospace manufacturing and operations. Aerospace systems are highly complex and require extremely precise engineering—every part of an aircraft or spacecraft must work together flawlessly, and error tolerance is minuscule. Ensuring that all components work perfectly under various conditions (pressure, temperature, vibration) is vital. The cost of building and operating aerospace systems is enormous.

In a world driven by data, efficient time series data management is a growing concern. APIs play a significant role in automating tasks, especially in cloud-based environments. Go, with its high performance and concurrency, is quickly becoming one of the standard languages for writing cloud infrastructure and utilities for managing streams of data.

This blog was originally published on Apache DataFusion Project News & Blog I am extremely excited to announce that Apache DataFusion 43.0.0 is the fastest engine for querying Apache Parquet files in ClickBench. It is faster than both DuckDB and chDB/Clickhouse using the same hardware. It also marks the first time a Rust based engine holds the top spot, which has previously been held by traditional C/C++ based engines.

Veteran developers and staff engineers at InfluxData, Nga Tran and Andrew Lamb, discuss what it was like to rewrite InfluxDB for version 3.0. Several factors prevent companies, especially startups, from rewriting their products. But what does the process look like once a company embarks on a rewrite? And how do they balance innovation with user feedback?

To the unfamiliar, building with open source tools may seem like the kind of chaos that leads to Boaty McBoatface-like decisions. Andrew Lamb, staff engineer at InfluxData and PMC for the Apache DataFusion project, provides insight from a developer and a PMC perspective about what it's like to build with, and manage a major open source project. InfluxData recently rebuilt its core database using Apache projects: Flight, DataFusion, Arrow, and Parquet, dubbed the FDAP stack.

Companies are committed to delivering on higher levels of customer satisfaction for their online services. Unfortunately, many organizations trying to support these initiatives take an interrupt-driven approach where they scramble to fix things when they break. However, to manage to these high levels of SLAs, you should take a structured approach in order to reduce the amount of unscheduled downtime by proactively monitoring and managing your systems.
