A study from ManageForce estimated the cost of a database outage to be an average of $474,000 per hour. Long database outages are the result of poor design concerning high availability.
Karl-Martin Karlson has been working on Pipedrive’s observability team for more than four years, implementing and supporting several observability platforms such as Grafana, Prometheus, Graylog, and New Relic. In sales, as in life, you can’t control your results — but you can control your actions. With that in mind, a team of sales professionals set out in 2010 to build a customer relationship management (CRM) tool that helps users visualize their sales processes and get more done.
In March 2022, Grafana Labs released Grafana Mimir, the most scalable, most performant open source time series database in the world. Mimir provides significant scale — 1 billion active series and beyond — with easy deployment, multi-tenancy, durable storage, high availability, and super fast query performance. From launch, Grafana Mimir could natively consume Prometheus metrics.
CockroachDB is a highly resilient distributed SQL database developed by Cockroach Labs. CockroachDB assures ACID semantics and aims to make it easy to scale horizontally by adding nodes instead of manually sharding the database. Built to be resilient (much like its namesake insect) and highly available as it scales, CockroachDB readily recovers from node failures by repairing and rebalancing automatically.
