The Accelerate State of Devops Report highlights four key metrics (known as the DORA metrics, for DevOps Research & Assessment) that distinguish high-performing software organizations: deployment frequency, lead time for changes, time-to-restore, and change fail rate. Observability can kickstart a virtuous cycle that improves all the DORA metrics.
Over the past six months, we have been working on optimizing query performance in Grafana Mimir, the open source TSDB for long-term metrics storage. First, we tackled most of the out-of-memory errors in the Mimir store-gateway component by streaming results, as we discussed in a previous blog post.
