You’ve found some Long Animation Frames (LoAFs) impacting your site, now you need to fix them! LoAFs can make animations feel sluggish, delay user interactions, and generally reduce your site’s responsiveness, all of which contribute to a frustrating experience for users. Fortunately, by analyzing LoAF data and addressing common performance bottlenecks, you can dramatically improve how smoothly your site runs.

Though you might not immediately notice it the next time you log in, Grafana’s frontend has undergone a major upgrade. We recently migrated our dashboard architecture to utilize the Grafana Scenes library, enabling the creation of more stable, dynamic, and flexible Scenes-powered dashboards. Yes, the UI is pretty much the same, but under the hood, the engine responsible for visualizing the dashboards used by millions of people around the world has largely been rewritten.

This is an updated version of an earlier blog post that now includes links to our documentation. Full-text searches are a marvel of modern computing. In less than a second, search engines can match a query against hundreds of millions of documents. In the early days of search engines, you often had to use specific search operators and terms to get accurate results.

Developer productivity is ultimately a measure of the efficiency and effectiveness with which software developers produce high-quality code and complete projects. Where this becomes a bit more complicated is in the relationships between those efforts and the measurements that reflect them.

PostgreSQL is a popular open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) known for its flexibility, scalability, and extensibility, offering a wide range of features. However, for large, enterprise-level projects, PostgreSQL’s capabilities may not be sufficient, leading developers to explore alternative systems. One such solution is Fujitsu Enterprise Postgres, a PostgreSQL-based database enhanced with commercial features designed to meet the demands of larger projects.

An organized inventory for monitoring using ManageEngine OpManager is essential for resolving network issues and optimizing performance. Configuring and updating monitoring settings is easier and more efficient when devices and interfaces are organized into subgroups and supergroups. For instance, say you’re monitoring 500 or more devices.

As the world moves towards sustainability, IT operations and digital workspaces are becoming critical in achieving corporate sustainability goals. The digital transformation of businesses—especially in light of hybrid and remote working models—has increased the demand for IT infrastructure, which in turn raises concerns about energy consumption, carbon emissions, and environmental impact.

In Rails, we're more likely to use SQL databases than other frameworks. Unlike NoSQL databases, which can be scaled horizontally with relative ease, SQL databases like PostgreSQL or MySQL are much less amenable to easy scaling. As a result, our database usually becomes the primary bottleneck as our business grows. Although SQL databases are very efficient, as our growing customer base puts an increasing load on our servers, we begin scaling our instance counts, workers, etc.
