Because of where you’re reading this post, I’m going to assume you already know that Grafana is a great tool for visualizing and presenting metrics, and persisting them on dashboards. Ever since the Grafana Loki query builder for LogQL was introduced in 2022, it’s been easy to display and visualize logs, too.

We are excited to announce the release of Graylog 5.1! A follow-up to our 5.0 release, Graylog 5.1 brings updates across our entire product line, including changes to infrastructure, Security, Operations, and our Open offerings.

The platform development team at Endeavor Streaming has a critical mission — from balancing operation of the company’s leading digital video platform, at scale, to ensuring everything in their complex cloud environment is performing as expected. Enabling the company to confidently build on top of its platform and continue to evolve their product delivery is thereby also dependent on maintaining detailed visibility into its supporting cloud applications and infrastructure.

Business applications can be a powerful tool and streamline almost any business process. As a result, many companies and their team members are requesting mobile apps to reduce costs and enhance efficiency. The problem? There aren’t enough developers to build these apps for them.

Network Data Analytics Function (NWDAF) is a key component in 5G networks, designed to collect, analyze, and deliver valuable insights to service providers. NWDAF provides an unbiased, vendor-vendor agnostic view of the network, expanding telco visibility beyond traditional use cases. As network complexities grow, service providers require unbiased and accurate data to make informed decisions, driving the demand for vendor agnostic data analytics.

In the digital-first business world, developers are under immense pressure to deliver high-quality software in record time. In one survey, 46% of developers reported expectations to build and deploy software faster than pre-COVID. Locked between higher expectations and stalling IT budgets, many developers struggle to keep up with demand. In fact, one study found that 83% of developers were suffering from burnout.

Adoption of Azure Functions in cloud-native applications on Microsoft Azure has been increasing exponentially over the last few years. Serverless functions, such as the Azure Functions, provide a high level of abstraction from the underlying infrastructure and orchestration, given these tasks are managed by the cloud provider. Software development teams can then focus on the implementation of business and application logic.
