Python JSON Log Limits: What Are They and How Can You Avoid Them?
Python JSON logging has become the standard for generating readable structured data from logs. While logging in JSON is definitely much better than using the standard logging module, it comes with its own set of challenges.

Are You Ready to (Executive) Order?
We’ve all been there. That harrowing moment at the restaurant when the waiter comes to the table and asks that fateful question: “Are you ready to order?” I don’t know about you, but I am almost never ready.

New feature in Loki 2.4: no more ordering constraint
A new version of Loki was released back in November, and I’m here to talk about one of its most exciting features. Loki 2.4 finally removed the requirement that all data must be ingested in timestamp-ascending order. Instead, Loki now allows out of order logs up to a configurable validity window (more to come on that). In this post, I’ll walk through what all this means and why we’re thrilled about it.
