In a previous blog post, we built a small Python application that queries Elasticsearch using a mix of vector search and BM25 to help find the most relevant results in a proprietary data set. The top hit is then passed to OpenAI, which answers the question for us. In this blog, we will instrument a Python application that uses OpenAI and analyze its performance, as well as the cost to run the application.

Amazon Security Lake is a new service from Amazon Web Services (AWS) that is designed to help organizations improve their security posture by automating the collection, normalization, and consolidation of security-related log and event data from integrated AWS services and third-party services (Source Partners). By centralizing all the security data in a single location, organizations can gain greater visibility and identify potential threats more quickly.

In the rapidly evolving digital landscape companies are facing an increasing number of challenges in maintaining their IT infrastructure, and ensuring application stability. It is critical to stay on top of all the information to ensure the health of the organization and the business side of it. One of the ways to achieve visibility is to use a log monitoring tool to centralize the log data coming from each application and infrastructure element.

There’s a new term on the technology block: Applied Observability. Gartner estimates that 70% of organizations will successfully adopt applied observability capabilities in coming years. The most common use cases of applied observability will include: But exactly what is applied observability? We’ve got the answers and more here for you to get a full understanding. Read on!

Firewall systems are critical for protecting your network and devices from unauthorized traffic. There are several types of firewalls that you can deploy for your environment via hardware, software, or the cloud—and they all typically fall under one of two categories: network-based or host-based. Network-based firewalls monitor and filter traffic to and from your network, whereas host-based firewalls manage traffic to and from a specific host, such as a laptop.

Across industries and geographies, businesses rely heavily on Systems Applications and Products (SAP) systems. These powerful and versatile systems streamline operations and manage critical data spanning areas like finance, human resources, and supply chain. However, the real-time monitoring of these systems, with an in-depth understanding of performance metrics and quick anomaly detection, is paramount for smooth operations and business continuity. It's here that our unique offering steps in.

In the data business, we often refer to the series of steps or processes used to collect, transform, and analyze data as “pipelines.” As a data scientist, I find this analogy fitting, as my concerns around data closely mirror those most people have with water: Where is it coming from? What’s in it? How can we optimize its quality, quantity, and pressure for its intended use? And, crucially, is it leaking anywhere?

Understanding Metrics, Logs, Events and Traces - the key pillars of observability and their pros and cons for SRE and DevOps teams.

When engaging with potential customers, we are often asked “how can we reduce spend on our observability platform like Splunk or Data Dog and simultaneously justify the cost of BindPlane OP?” Let’s dive in and see how the powerful capabilities of BindPlane OP can reduce your total ingest, and get a positive ROI on your BindPlane OP investment.

As the affordable choice for cloud computing, Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is catching up to its competitors, like AWS and Microsoft Azure. As a business, you need the speed and scalability that the cloud provides, but you want to limit your costs to ensure you hit revenue targets. With GCP, you found a digital services business partner to help you meet your business objectives, a technology that gives you the service availability you want at the speed you need.
