If you research modern observability solutions to manage multi-cloud and hybrid IT environments, you will inevitably learn about OpenTelemetry (OTEL or OTel). The technology has become so rampant that dev or ops professionals still unaware of it are afraid to ask what it actually means. Fret not, as we’ll describe it for you here.

In the last post, we explain how to specify nullable elements inside our JSON. Today we will continue on the same topic, JSON Schema. This time I will speak about another Best practice, Tips, and Tricks that you must consider while designing your business processes (Logic Apps): Specifying JSON Schema required elements.

In this article, we will deploy a clustered Prometheus setup that integrates Thanos. It is resilient against node failures and ensures appropriate data archiving. The setup is also scalable. It can span multiple Kubernetes clusters under the same monitoring umbrella. Finally, we will visualize and monitor all our data in accessible and beautiful Grafana dashboards.

Fintech companies operate in a complex technological and regulatory environment. They rely heavily on cloud-native technologies and microservices architectures to handle financial transactions and data, often at a massive scale. To maximize application reliability, fintech companies need full visibility into their software systems and applications. An agile monitoring solution like observability is crucial to improving performance and user experience.

Grafana is a powerful open-source visualization solution that provides valuable insights into the performance of infrastructure, applications, and servers. With customizable visualizations and support for diverse data sources and formats, Grafana allows IT teams to collect and visualize data from various sources.

Cribl has a unique position right in the middle of the observability market, giving us a distinct view of all things security, APM, and log analysis. Observability as a concept has exploded into specialized areas over the past two years, and making sense of the players and market forces, particularly in a difficult macro environment, can be tricky. Let’s break it down.

Today, in Pandora FMS blog, we will continue with the feat of presenting the best features of Pandora FMS 2022-2023. I talk about “continuing” because this article is the second part of a great first episode. If you haven’t read it yet… go ahead, here we’ll be waiting for you, and besides, I’m not in a hurry.

Code instrumentation is an essential practice in modern software development. Not only does it aid in debugging, it ultimately impacts the MTTR (Mean Time to Resolve) for software running in production. With changing software architectures and deployment patterns over the years, approaches to code instrumentation have also undergone a significant shift.
