In this tutorial, we’ll explore how Bytewax can seamlessly integrate with InfluxDB to tackle a common challenge: downsampling. Whether you’re dealing with IoT data, DevOps monitoring, or any time series metrics, downsampling (or materialized views) is your key to managing your time series data for long-term storage without losing essential trends. Bytewax is an open source Python framework for building highly scalable dataflows to process any data stream.

After reading this guide, you’ll have a fully functional real-time data intelligence system. We’ll do the full build, including adding a database, without ever having to manage the complexities of the database server.

Downtime isn’t just about systems going offline. It’s about how well your business can adapt and keep moving forward. Whether it’s a minor glitch or a large-scale outage, it affects revenue, productivity, and the trust your customers place in your services. For instance, in July 2024, CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform faced an outage that cost Fortune 500 companies $5.4 billion. Businesses that had proactive strategies recovered faster, minimizing the damage.

We take our phones and tech devices everywhere — whether it’s on the train, at a coffee shop, or even in bed, we’re rarely far from them. In fact, 75% of Americans admit to using their phones even while on the toilet. With each new location, our devices pick up a mix of dust, dirt, and germs along the way. While the COVID-19 pandemic may have heightened our awareness of germs, are we paying enough attention to the bacteria that can gather on our everyday gadgets?

The telecom landscape is undergoing a transformation unlike anything we’ve seen before, and at the heart of this epic shift is the Radio Access Network (RAN). What used to be a quiet, behind-the-scenes player in mobile communications has now become the backbone of modern connectivity—powering everything from the phone in your pocket to entire smart cities.

In software development, even common IT operations tasks require specialized skills. Collaboration between specialized teams is the driving force of DevOps, more than any tooling or workflow. But self-service automation becomes valuable when common, routine tasks and processes start to restrict developers and burden operations teams.

Infrastructure resilience is essential for any modern IT environment. Downtime is expensive. Beyond the stresses of day-to-day operations, you want to be confident that your IT systems will continue functioning during service disruptions, hardware failures, or natural disasters. Establish a reliable resilient infrastructure to minimize downtime, improve customer trust, and protect your business’s revenue and reputation.

At AppNeta we talk a lot about network performance, but sometimes a user experience issue lies with the application itself. As network operations teams rarely have full visibility into the applications that drive the business, getting metrics to isolate when the app is the problem is crucial to ensure low mean time to repair (MTTR) and reduce mean time to innocence (MTTI). When it is an app issue, understanding how your web application performs is crucial for ensuring a positive user experience.

Java is a flexible and commonly used programming language known for its platform independence, object-oriented design, and robustness. It was originally developed by Sun Microsystems (now owned by Oracle Corporation) in the mid-1990s and soon gained popularity due to its "Write Once, Run Anywhere" (WORA) principle, allowing developers to write code that can operate on any device or platform with a Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
