Managing log files effectively is crucial for ensuring a well-performing, reliable system. Logrotate, a popular log management tool, provides a flexible way to automatically rotate, compress, and remove old logs. Among its many configurations, two common approaches to trigger log rotation are size-based and time-based rotation. In this blog, we will explore the differences between these methods, compare their use cases, and help you decide which approach (or combination) suits your needs best.

ClickHouse, a columnar database designed for high-performance real-time analytics, is excellent at handling large datasets with speed and efficiency. However, performance issues can occur due to factors like unoptimized queries, resource contention, or improper configuration. As data and query complexity grow, keeping ClickHouse fast can be challenging. This blog will explore common bottlenecks, how to diagnose and resolve them, and include a Python script for automating diagnostics. Lets get started!

OpenTelemetry and OpenTracing are two closely connected open-source projects that enhance observability in modern distributed systems. They are designed to instrument application code for generating telemetry data. OpenTelemetry is a comprehensive, vendor-neutral framework that helps capture various types of telemetry data, while OpenTracing focuses specifically on tracing and provides a way to instrument applications for that purpose.

If you have ever faced performance issues in an application, whether it's sluggish load times, long processing delays, or poor scalability you have probably been told that optimizing the code or database is the solution. But what does that really mean in practice? A lot of the time, it boils down to one of two causes: either a poorly optimized algorithm (often with quadratic or exponential time complexity) or an inefficient database query.

In Prometheus, metric joining allows you to merge metrics to build more detailed and insightful queries using PromQL (Prometheus Query Language). By joining metrics, you can analyse data from different sources together, providing a more comprehensive view of your system's behaviour. This metric joining capability enables you to correlate different metrics effectively, leading to better monitoring and troubleshooting.
