Time series data is everywhere—from IoT sensors and server metrics to financial transactions and user behavior. To collect, store, and analyze this data efficiently, you need tools purpose-built for the job. That’s where the TIG Stack comes in: Telegraf for data collection, InfluxDB for storage and analytics, and Grafana for visualization. Together, these tools offer a powerful solution for real-time analytics, observability, and monitoring.

Relational or NoSQL, self-managed or as-a-service, those databases often play a critical role in the overall health of your applications.

In our era of cloud-native applications, robust observability is critical to maintain performance, identify issues, and enhance user experiences. With its advanced capabilities, DX Operational Observability (DX O2) integrates seamlessly with OpenTelemetry, a leading open-source observability framework. In this blog, we explore how to onboard the OpenTelemetry Demo Application to DX O2. The demo application provides a hands-on introduction to combining these powerful tools.

Cloud unit economics measures the amount an organization spends on cloud services to achieve a discrete business outcome such as a conversion, sign-up, or checkout. Your cloud spending may increase as your applications get more usage and the complexity of your cloud environment grows.

During the development of your program, you might rely on simple println() statements to trace program execution flows and identify issues in your code. But as projects grow in size and complexity, print statements quickly become messy. A better approach to tracing program execution is logging, an approach that provides a consistent and organized way to track your application’s behavior, allowing you to systematically identify and resolve issues.

We’ve made a small update to our status page to help you better track your monitor’s performance. You can now see the uptime percentage for each monitor under the History tab, covering the last days. This gives you an easy way to understand how reliable your monitor has been over the past month, so you can quickly spot any trends or potential issues!
