The Real Cost of Choosing the Wrong Database

Aug 20, 2025 By Allyson Boate In InfluxData

Data is more than a record of what happened—it shapes what happens next. Across industries, connected devices continuously stream time-stamped data that reflects the current state of machines, environments, and systems. This steady flow gives organizations a live view of operations and the ability to catch issues early, adjust quickly, and operate more efficiently. However, capturing data alone does not create value.

Aug 15, 2025 By Benjamin Pitts In MetricFire

When a service slows down, metrics will tell you that it’s happening but logs tell you why. For MySQL, slow queries can be a silent performance killer, gradually chewing through resources until users start complaining. By enabling MySQL’s slow query log and forwarding it to Loki (via Promtail), you can visualize query-level details right alongside your metrics on Grafana dashboards. This makes it easy to correlate what is slow (metrics) with what is causing the slowdown (logs).
