N+1 query problem is a problem in database retrieval where the related entities of an object are queried individually from a database, leading to O(n) queries where n is the number of related entities of the object. Mouthful of words, I agree 🙂 Let’s take an example to illustrate what it means.

A prelude to our upcoming six-part Observability Maturity Model Fundamentals blog series. By Lodewijk Bogaards At StackState, we have spent eight years in the monitoring and observability spaces. During this time, we have spoken with countless DevOps engineers, architects, SREs, heads of IT operations and CTOs, and we have heard the same struggles over and over.

It’s no secret that CI/CD pipelines make the lives of engineering and operations easier by accelerating the feedback loop for higher quality code and apps. They build code, run tests, and safely deploy new versions of your application. But just like any aspect of development, poor integration, invisible bottlenecks, and bugs can plague your pipelines. And debugging them? Well, it’s complicated.

Welcome back to our monthly product updates - SigNal! The latest release of SigNoz is now available with Logs management. You can use SigNoz as your one-stop open source observability solution with logs, metrics, and traces under a single pane of glass. We also participated in podcasts, held office hours, and got featured as one of the top promising startups in the DevOps ecosystem. Let’s see what humans at SigNoz were up to in the month of August 2022!

MQTT is a messaging protocol used widely in the IoT space. Its publish/subscribe model is ideal for IoT because multiple devices can send data to a single MQTT broker, which MQTT clients can then access. The MQTT integration for InfluxDB’s native collector feature is a fast and easy way to create cloud-to-cloud data pipelines. Here’s the lowdown on using the Native MQTT collector. Who: Users and companies that rely on MQTT to provide time series data for their applications.

Data has become an incredibly valuable commodity for most businesses. With so many people connected to the internet, the data we generate is increasing exponentially. And with it, the need to store and process it more efficiently. Edge computing is the current solution.

With observIQ’s latest contributions to OpenTelemetry, you can now use free open source tools to easily monitor Aerospike. The easiest way to use the latest OpenTelemetry tools is with observIQ’s distribution of the OpenTelemetry collector. You can find it here. In this blog, the Aerospike receiver is configured to monitor metrics locally with OTLP–you can use the Aerospike receiver to ship metrics to many popular analysis tools, including Google Cloud, New Relic, and more.
