How Telemetry Pipelines Save Your Budget

Jan 16, 2025 By Mezmo In Mezmo

This is an updated version of an earlier blog post to reflect current definitions of a telemetry pipeline and additional capabilities available in Mezmo Our recent blog post about observability pipelines highlighted how they centralize and enable telemetry data actionability. A key benefit of telemetry pipelines is users don't have to compare data sets manually or rely on batch processing to derive insights, which can be done directly while the data is in motion.

The importance of understanding and observing an application's middle-tier components

Jan 16, 2025 By Ramkumar Ramaswamy In Site24x7

Just like how the filling makes a sandwich, an application's performance is closely tied to how effectively its middle-tier components function. While the front-end is what users see and interact with (UI), and the back-end deals with data storage, the middle tier forms the vital core where the real magic happens—processing, logic implementation, and enforcement of business rules.
