In the new normal of the COVID-19 pandemic, a spare room is an office, a handshake is a threat, and a full shelf of toilet paper at the grocery store is nothing short of a miracle. In these unusual times, IT teams are stepping up and stepping outside their job description to help their users adapt to the shifting landscape in which we live and work.

Work, education, and even many of our leisure activities have all moved on-line at an incredible pace due to current social distancing mandates. The digital backbone of the Internet and the SaaS services that drive our personal and professional lives are now foundational. Ensuring that these systems are operating optimally and securely is of paramount importance.

Hello again! We are Eldin and Christine – or, as our lovely editor has dubbed us, Regis and Kelly – jumping back in for another post.

In the midst of a complex and challenging global environment, I’m proud and excited to announce General Availability for Logz.io Infrastructure Monitoring, our new metrics monitoring and analytics solution based on Grafana. Additionally, we’re supporting Early Availability for our new Distributed Tracing offering powered by Jaeger. The release represents a huge next step in our mission to provide the best open source for observability as a fully managed, cost-effective cloud service.
