Beyond RAG basics: Advanced strategies for AI applications

Aug 13, 2024 By Elastic Platform Team In Elastic
Our recent virtual event with Cohere dove deep into the world of retrieval augmented generation (RAG), focusing on the critical considerations for building RAG applications beyond the proof-of-concept stage. Our speakers, Lily Adler, principal solutions architect at Elastic, and Maxime Voisin, senior product manager at Cohere, shared valuable insights on the challenges, solutions, and best practices in this evolving field of natural language processing (NLP).

OpenTelemetry vs Datadog - Choosing the Right Monitoring Tool

Aug 13, 2024 By Favour Daniel In SigNoz
OpenTelemetry and DataDog are both used for monitoring applications. While OpenTelemetry is an open source observability framework, DataDog is a cloud-monitoring SaaS service. OpenTelemetry is a collection of tools, APIs, and SDKs that help generate and collect telemetry data (logs, metrics, and traces). OpenTelemetry does not provide a storage and visualization layer, while DataDog does.

OpenTelemetry vs. OpenTracing - Decoding the Future of Telemetry Data

Aug 13, 2024 By Ankit Anand In SigNoz
OpenTelemetry and OpenTracing are open-source projects used to instrument application code for generating telemetry data. While OpenTelemetry can help you generate logs, metrics, and traces, OpenTracing focuses on generating traces for distributed applications. If you’re thinking of choosing between OpenTelemetry and OpenTracing, go for OpenTelemetry. OpenTracing is now deprecated, and users of OpenTracing are advised to migrate to OpenTelemetry.

Monitoring Specific Components and Regions in Your Third-Party Services

Aug 12, 2024 By Hrishikesh Barua In IncidentHub
Chances are, most of your third-party cloud and SaaS dependencies are globally distributed and have many regions of operation. Chances are, your applications use a subset of a cloud or SaaS service. If you are monitoring such a service, why should you receive alerts for all regions or every single component in the service? E.g. if you use Digital Ocean, you might be using Kubernetes in their US locations (NYC and SFO). You would want to know only when there is an outage in one of these locations.

Introduction to K8s Horizontal Pod Autoscaling | Monitor Autoscaling in Splunk Observability Cloud

Aug 12, 2024 By Splunk In Splunk
In this video, I’m going to introduce you to Horizontal Pod Autoscaling in Kubernetes and monitoring autoscaling events in Splunk Observability Cloud. I’ll first walk through our simple application deployment definition. We will analyze the metrics of that application in Splunk Observability cloud, identifying that the application is under resource pressure. I’ll then discuss the scaling options at our disposal, and we will walk through an implementation of a Horizontal Pod Autoscaler that will automatically scale our pods according to the load they are receiving.

Why companies choose Adaptive Metrics and how they save time and (a lot of) money

Aug 12, 2024 By Quynton Johnson In Grafana
Let’s cut to the chase: Managing metric volumes at scale is hard. In fact, when we asked the open source observability community about their biggest concerns in this year’s Grafana Labs Observability Survey, the top four responses — cost, complexity, cardinality, and signal-to-noise ratio — can all be tied back to exponential growth in telemetry data.

How to Start Contributing to Open Source with OpenTelemetry

Aug 12, 2024 By Michelle Artreche In ObservIQ
Today, open source software is everywhere – from Linux-based servers, to Android smartphones, to the Firefox Web browser, to name just a handful of open source platforms in widespread use today. But the open source code driving these innovations doesn't write itself. It's developed by open source contributors – and you could be one of them.
