In the first post of this series, I detailed ways companies considering cloud adoption can achieve quick wins in performance and cost savings. While these benefits of the cloud certainly remain true in theory, realizing these benefits in practice can be increasingly difficult as applications and their networks become more complex.
Many organizations have been digitally transforming their operations and the majority of them are moving to the cloud. With this transformation, data teams have to analyze ever larger and more complex data sets to allow downstream teams to make faster and more accurate decisions on a daily basis. Consequently, most organizations need to work with: customer data, product data, usage data, advertising data, and financial data.
Before you can choose the proper tools for your organization, you have to understand its essential business processes. Once you know an essential business process, you can review software applications that will help make your organization more efficient and accurate. Unfortunately, many organizations do not understand their essential business processes. This makes it nearly impossible for them to streamline their organizations, which puts them at a disadvantage in the marketplace.
Two years ago I announced that InfluxData was working on a new core for InfluxDB, a project we named InfluxDB IOx. InfluxDB IOx is a cloud-native, real-time, columnar database optimized for time series data built in Rust on top of Apache Arrow and DataFusion. Today I’m excited to announce that we deployed our next-generation storage engine that’s built on InfluxDB IOx in our InfluxDB Cloud platform.
Rebuilt and reimagined storage engine built on open source project InfluxDB IOx delivers faster queries, unlimited time series, and introduces SQL for writing queries and BI tool support.
Our own Chief Revenue Officer, Todd McNabb, recently sat down with Melissa Graham, Sr. Vice President of Global Sales at SHI International, to discuss our new partnership.
We often hear the term load used to describe the state of a server or a device, but we're here to tell you what it means, precisely, and how to monitor it.
For quite a long time now, Visual Studio Code has been one of the leading IDEs in the developer market. This is no doubt as the IDE is streamlined and made to support a lot of out-of-the-box tools. The IDE has come a long way, and it doesn’t seem to be slowing down any time soon. One major reason why VS Code is preferred by many is the ability of the developer to install tools that could help better their work in terms of productivity, better-looking code, and even collaboration.
When you design architecture to monitor your digital assets - either software applications or hardware devices, you need to use different strategies depending on your monitoring target. The factors you want to consider can vary including methods of retrieving monitoring data, frequency of data collection, and how you want to surface metrics and insight you find to stakeholders. In this article, we will mainly discuss how we can monitor your network SNMP devices using Hosted Graphite.
Container runner, a new container-friendly self-hosted runner, is now available for all CircleCI users. Self-hosted runners are a popular solution for customers with unique compute or security requirements. Container runner reduces the barrier to entry for using self-hosted runners within a containerized environment and makes it easier for central DevOps teams to manage running containerized CI/CD jobs behind a firewall at scale.
