Performance tests created with the Grafana k6 browser module use lab data collected from pre-defined environments, devices, and network settings. Lab data allows you to repeatedly reproduce performance results, making it useful for detecting and fixing performance issues early. Lab data, however, doesn’t account for one very important testing component: real user experience.
This article coins the term “FDAP stack”, explains why we used it to build InfluxDB 3.0, and argues that it will enable and power a generation of analytics applications in the same way that the LAMP stack enabled and powered a generation of interactive websites (by the way we are hiring!).
Kubernetes or K8s is an open-source production-grade container orchestration system for automating, scaling, and managing containerized applications. A container is a lightweight, standalone, executable ready-to-run software package that contains everything needed to run an application. It includes the runtime, code, libraries, systems tools, and default values for any essential settings.
As distributed, interconnected microservices have replaced monolithic applications, application monitoring has had to evolve to support these modern, complex architectures. Rather than monitoring a single application and code base, organizations need to monitor the performance and network connectivity of multiple services that interact with each other.
The lifeblood of any online business lies in its accessibility. When your site or application is accessible, your customers are happy, your brand reputation remains intact, and revenues keep flowing. Because of this, understanding and calculating uptime becomes crucial. Let’s face it: any downtime translates to lost revenue.
Today, Cribl surpassed $100 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR), becoming one of the fastest companies to ever reach this milestone in under four years––an incredible achievement on our journey to building a generational company. Reaching $100 million in ARR so quickly shows that our unique approach and steadfast focus on IT and Security continues to be validated by the market.
To fully utilize the capabilities of Kubernetes, it’s crucial to have a reliable system for gathering and organizing logs, metrics, and events. With the complex nature of container orchestration, it’s crucial to understand the significance and process behind the data generated in a Kubernetes environment at scale. Cribl Edge works seamlessly with Kubernetes and can cater to various needs.
You may have noticed that, during the last few weeks, we released a bunch of new versions for different components of our stack. It’s a very exciting time of the year for us, since we’re currently finishing work that we have done through the last months.

Check out the full changelog for all details.
In today’s technology driven world, businesses rely heavily on their digital infrastructure to operate efficiently and serve customers effectively. With the growing complexity of these infrastructures, ensuring their stability and performance has become paramount. “But how can I realize that?” is a question i often hear. And this is where infrastructure monitoring steps in.
InfluxDB v3 allows users to write data at a rate of 4.3 million points per second. However, an incredibly fast ingest rate like this is meaningless without the ability to query that data. Apache DataFusion is an “extensible query execution framework, written in Rust, that uses Apache Arrow as its in-memory format.” It enables 5–25x faster query responses across a broad range of query types compared to previous versions of InfluxDB that didn’t use the Apache ecosystem.
