Maximize data value and cut costs: Adaptive Telemetry for metrics, logs, traces, and profiles in Grafana Cloud

When it comes to observability, more data doesn’t always mean more clarity. In fact, as telemetry volumes grow, it only becomes more difficult to discern the signals from the noise and to keep overall costs in check. This is exactly why we built Adaptive Telemetry, a suite of features in Grafana Cloud that analyzes how your telemetry is used and then automatically recommends actions like aggregating, sampling, dropping, or reducing low-value data.

Complete guide to OpenTelemetry Tracing (with code examples)

Distributed tracing is an essential technique for monitoring modern, cloud-native applications. It provides a holistic view of a request's entire journey as it propagates through a multi-service architecture, making it invaluable for performance optimization and root cause analysis. But how do you generate and collect this trace data in a standardized, vendor-agnostic way? That's where OpenTelemetry comes in.

Real Estate App Development for Ops & Product Teams: From MVP to Scale

In the competitive world of real estate technology, developing an app that can scale from a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) to a fully-fledged solution is crucial. For operations and product teams, this journey involves strategic planning and execution to ensure the app meets evolving market demands and user expectations.

Ep 13: Everyone is winging it: Hope for an AI future

In this episode, we welcome Naomi Buckwalter, Sr. Director of Product Security at Contrast Security, to chat about the evolving landscape of security threats and the dual role of AI in both facilitating and combating these challenges. We explore the increasing sophistication of modern phishing attacks and discuss how security teams must rapidly adapt to stay ahead of emerging threats. We debate the transformative impact of AI on the future job market, where personal qualities and soft skills may increasingly take precedence over traditional technical competencies.

Monitoring Encrypted Network Traffic

How do you spy on a secret message? That's the challenge for network monitoring tools like Suricata today. Encryption is essential for privacy, but it creates massive blind spots for security. Dive into the modern-day cat-and-mouse game of monitoring encrypted traffic. How do you deal with security blind spots in your network?

Redis Performance Monitoring: Combine Logs and Metrics for Complete Visibility

Redis earns its place in modern stacks because it’s an in-memory data store with microsecond latency and rich data structures, making it perfect for things like caching, sessions, and rate limiting. Since it often sits on the request path, small issues (connection churn, blocked commands, memory pressure) can quickly ripple into user-visible incidents.
