When your distributed database architecture scales to handle massive workloads, keeping tabs on everything becomes critical and complex. With its masterless architecture and linear scalability, Apache Cassandra powers mission-critical applications across industries—but without proper monitoring, you might as well be flying blind through a storm.

Software for Open Networking in the Cloud (SONiC) is an open-source network operating system that has revolutionized data center networking. Originating as a Microsoft-led initiative in the Open Compute Project (OCP) in 2016, SONiC has rapidly gained traction among hyperscalers and switch hardware vendors, including Broadcom, Cisco, and NVIDIA. By building its services using containerized microservices, SONiC brings flexibility, scalability, and modularity to network infrastructure.

The latest report from the International Data Corporation (IDC) co-sponsored by Canonical and Google Cloud indicates that 36% of organizations adopt open source to improve development velocity, and 7 in 10 organizations see open source as extremely important to run mission critical workloads. However as open source adoption grows, organizations face increasing difficulty in securing and maintaining their software supply chains.

Open-source log management tools provide cost-effective, customizable approaches for collecting and analyzing log data. They help teams quickly identify patterns, spot anomalies, and resolve issues. With numerous options available, it's important to understand their strengths and limitations. This article examines the top open-source log management tools in 2025, focusing on their capabilities, performance, and best use cases.

The landscape of artificial intelligence is rapidly evolving, demanding robust and scalable infrastructure. To meet these challenges, we’ve developed a comprehensive reference architecture (RA) that leverages the power of open-source tools and cutting-edge hardware.

In today’s digital world, businesses rely heavily on online services and applications. Whether hosted or open-source, a status page isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s an essential part of your incident communication strategy. It helps IT and support teams keep users informed, build trust, and reduce the flood of support tickets during outages.

Efficient IT Service Management (ITSM) is essential for organizations to manage their IT infrastructure, streamline operations, and improve service delivery. ITSM platforms are the backbone of these efforts by providing tools for incident management, service requests, asset tracking, and more. ITSM platforms help organizations maintain high operational standards while ensuring seamless interaction between the IT teams and other business units.
