In the first blog in this series, Setting Up InfluxDB and Visualizing Data: Part 1, we built a data collection and visualization platform for time series data using InfluxDB Cloud Serverless. Inspired by the CSTR with PID controllers use case, the project showcased how to ingest real-time data and visualize it using InfluxDB and Grafana. This follow-up post focuses on InfluxDB’s 3.0 architecture, giving an in-depth look at the platform’s inner workings.

AWS and Azure are considered rivals in the cloud computing industry. Both offer similar services, including cloud storage, computing, container services, databases, and more. Yet, they have different strengths and weaknesses, which makes them competitors. Here’s a closer look at AWS vs. Azure to help you find the ideal match.

As someone who is building a platform that is intended to make Kubernetes operations easier for everyone––I’ve learned a lot about production Kubernetes operations. The main thing I’ve noticed folks getting wrong, is that it isn’t simply a platform, it’s an entire ecosystem.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a widely used network monitoring and management protocol. It allows you to keep track of the status and performance of the devices on your network, like routers, switches, servers, and printers. A key component of SNMP are the ports used for communication between the SNMP manager (the monitoring system) and SNMP agents (software on the monitored devices).
