While Artificial intelligence (AI) has invaded many industries, the IT industry is reaping the benefits of AI in software engineering practices. The traditional method of relying solely on human coders throughout the entire development lifecycle is gradually becoming obsolete. Instead, AI-augmented software engineering has come into the arena to make the software engineering process faster, easier, and more reliable.

In my previous articles, I discussed how to design considerations for observability solutions and how observability can augment your security implementation. In this article, I will discuss how an observability solution can provide valuable insights into your business operations through the collected data from various systems, applications, and services.

You may be thinking of investing in multiple cloud vendors to increase redundancy and deal with the complexity of your enterprise requirements. You are not alone. Many enterprises are moving in this direction to take advantage of the options offered by competing cloud vendors. Adopting one major cloud vendor is a complex project that can consume a company for months if not years.

Managing configuration changes within BindPlane OP is a straightforward process when using the newly introduced Rollouts features to deploy your changes. Rollouts provides a user-friendly platform for tweaking configurations, staging modifications, and implementing them across your agent fleet only when you’re satisfied with the changes.

With the volume of data growing rapidly, metadata has become a crucial component in managing and understanding the vast amounts of data that surround us. From search engine optimization to data security and privacy, metadata plays a vital role in various industries. But what exactly is metadata, and how does it impact our daily lives? Let's dive in and explore the world of metadata, its types, and its significance in various fields.

Throughout my career in technology one thing has rung true — customer and end-user feedback is invaluable. And for us here at Splunk, these treasured insights drive product development. By actively listening to customer needs and incorporating feedback, we ensure our solutions truly address the challenges and aspirations of our users, leading to innovation that makes a meaningful impact.

AWS Fargate is a serverless pay-as-you-go engine used for Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) to run Docker containers without having to manage servers or clusters. The goal of Fargate is to containerize your application and specify the OS, CPU and memory, networking, and IAM policies needed for launch. Additionally, AWS Fargate can be used with Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) in a similar manner.

Easy to implement, effective data management tools that provide fast time to value are the exception rather than the rule, and top-notch support for those tools is also hard to come by. That’s why Cribl prioritizes creating products that make the lives of engineers and systems admins as easy as possible. The reviews on Gartner Peer Insights give us a glimpse into how well we’re holding up our end of the bargain.

Over the last decade, log management has been largely dominated by the ELK Stack – a once-open source tool set that collects, processes, stores and analyzes log data. The ‘k’ in the ELK Stack represents Kibana, which is the component engineers use to query and visualize their log data stored in Elasticsearch. Sadly, in January 2021, Elastic decided to close source the ELK Stack, and as a result, OpenSearch was launched by AWS as an open source replacement.

Today we’re happy to announce our new open source, scalable logging solution, VictoriaLogs, which helps users and enterprises expand their current monitoring of applications into a more strategic ‘state of all systems’ enterprise-wide observability. Many existing logging solutions on the market today offer IT professionals a limited window into live operations of databases and clusters.
