Arm-based Kubernetes clusters have been in use for a while, albeit mostly for niche uses, by enthusiasts, and DIY hobbyists. But that is changing. Arm architecture offers an efficiency and scalability that other architectures do not, and that makes it appealing to businesses.

Plenty of blogs have answered the very Google-able question, “What is OpenTelemetry?” To keep it short and sweet, OpenTelemetry is a collaborative effort across the observability space to create industry-wide standards that will benefit all cloud service providers and observability customers. Technically speaking, OpenTelemetry is a collection of APIs, SDKs, exporters, and collectors.

Log management has been around for a long time, but how we manage our logs has changed profoundly over the years. For effective log management, there are times when you may have to trade off the new for the old, and vice versa. A clear understanding of log agents and log libraries will help assess what works best for different applications and infrastructures.

MEAN is evolving as a popular web stack for developing cloud native applications because of its scalability, ease of extension, and high reliability. Each component in MEAN is built on JavaScript, contributing to a cohesive development platform. In this post, we take you through the log management options that are available for each component of the MEAN stack framework and their respective limitations – limitations that are addressable with a refined log management solution like observIQ.

It sounds like a wild claim, considering that billion dollar companies like Splunk, Datadog, New Relic, and Solarwinds are consistently making national headlines, for both good and bad reasons. Observability leaders are anything but invisible, so how can the perfect solution be different? Are they that far off?

Logging is useful in building, managing and debugging Rails applications. Most logging functionalities are built into the application, and it is fairly simple to find the logs. However, as your applications scale up in volume, it becomes difficult to trace the source of an issue. That’s when you want to implement a cloud based log management system to get a unified view of all logs from your Rails application.

We launched the Stanza log agent just over one year ago. Stanza is the result of an uncompromising stance on performance, processing, and configurability for log telemetry. It took mere days for friends and colleagues in the space to raise the obvious objection – there are already so many logging agents, so why spend time on a *new* one? We also heard from competitors who had a snarkier take…

The Biden administration signed an executive order recently to regulate security practices among federal agencies and establishments. The decision modernizes and improves government networks in pursuit of fool-proof federal cyber defense. This comes in the wake of a series of malicious cyberattacks that targeted both public and private entities in the past year. In the largest breach in US history, SolarWinds

“Observability,” is the process in DataOps of recording data generated by digital systems as they go about their processes. There are some great companies in the observability space, generating a whopping $17 billion annually, and contributing a significant portion to the modest 2.5 quintillion bytes of data created every year.
