How to Improve MariaDB Performance: Track Slow Queries with Logs and Metrics

Sep 5, 2025 By Benjamin Pitts In MetricFire
Database latency rarely starts in your app layer because it’s almost always a query doing more work than it should. Metrics tell you when that happens, but slow-query logging tells you which statement did it and how. That’s gold for tracking down missing indexes, inefficient filters, or accidental full scans. Pair the logging with a some lightweight counter metrics, and you get both an early warning and a clear path to a fix.

Tiger teams: How we tackle urgent, cross-functional challenges at Grafana Labs

Sep 5, 2025 By Summer Wollin In Grafana
A year ago, we hit a wall. Our Grafana OSS releases were excruciating to execute. The process was confusing and hard to follow, security patches were non-trivial, and many engineering hours were lost to an overly manual process. We needed to move fast, cut through ambiguity, and pull in just the right people without waiting on roadmaps or org charts.
