Building Real-Time Data Pipelines with Kafka, Telegraf, and InfluxDB 3

When milliseconds matter and data never stops flowing, you need a pipeline that can handle high-velocity streaming data with reliability and scale. The modern streaming stack of Kafka, Telegraf, and InfluxDB 3 Core delivers exactly that. To give you a concrete example, this blog works with a fictitious use case: “Papa Giuseppe’s Pizzeria.” Every oven, prep station, and order in this pizza restaurant generates data. Our workflow looks like this.

Seamlessly Migrating 15k Redis servers to Valkey

For many years Redis has been the default for caching, message queues, and fast data storage. However recent changes to its licensing mean that companies who want truly open-source tools need to make a switch. This is why Valkey was created. We are leading the way in offering a smooth path to move your current Redis setups to a fully open-source managed Valkey service.

Beyond Automation: The Rise of Agentic Networks

Agentic AI is the next evolution in network management, moving beyond simple automation to intelligent systems that can reason, plan, and act autonomously. Justin Ryburn, Kentik Field CTO, highlights how this shift automates expertise, enables proactive problem-solving, and empowers human engineers for strategic innovation.

10 Best Practices for Proactive Database Performance Monitoring to Prevent Downtime

Databases are the core of modern applications, whether it is an e-commerce platform, a banking system, or a social media app. Slow database performance or unexpected downtime can cause serious problems, from lost revenue to poor customer experience. Proactive database performance monitoring helps teams identify issues before they escalate. Unlike reactive monitoring, which only addresses problems after they occur, proactive monitoring ensures your database remains fast, stable, and reliable.

Node.js Event Loop: Why Monitoring Matters

Node.js has become a cornerstone for modern application development because of its non-blocking and asynchronous architecture. According to Stack Overflow Developer Survey, Node.js remains among the most widely used technologies for web applications, powering millions of services globally. While this event-driven model provides scalability and efficiency, it also introduces challenges.

Introducing Chunk: The agent that validates code at AI speed

The software development landscape has fundamentally shifted. Teams are shipping more value faster than ever, leveraging AI to generate code at unprecedented speed. But with this velocity comes equally dramatic complexity — small teams now face challenges that once belonged only to large organizations, while large organizations grapple with codebases that strain human comprehension. This complexity isn’t a bug — it’s a productivity opportunity to embrace.

Introducing SCION with Anapaya and Megaport

Discover how SCION is transforming internet routing, and how Anapaya and Megaport Virtual Edge are simplifying its adoption. Enterprise internet routing is anything but simple. With distributed endpoints, data security, and service reliability to consider, it doesn’t take long for network teams to feel overwhelmed with a complicated mess of workarounds and add-ons that become increasingly difficult to oversee and manage.

The growing DDoS threat UK businesses can't ignore

In today’s small and medium-sized UK businesses, most of the cybersecurity budget goes into protecting data and strengthening authentication. Those are important measures – the cost of a data breach is still enough to close your firm, after all. But they aren’t enough. Because in 2025, thanks to increased capabilities of DDoS attacks, you don’t have to lose your data to lose your business– you just have to lose access to it.

Automate Your Infrastructure Analysis with Scheduled AI Reports

The least exciting part of an operations or SRE role is often the manual, repetitive task of generating reports. It’s the Monday morning scramble to summarize weekly infrastructure health for the team, or the end-of-quarter push to build a capacity planning document. This is boilerplate work that pulls you away from critical engineering tasks. We believe that if a process is repeatable, it should be automated. That’s why we’re introducing Scheduled AI Investigations and Insights.
