The Place Where Modern Operations & Technology Come Together
Creating custom InfluxDB endpoints
InfluxDB has a feature that lets users invoke scripts using its API. Here, Jay Clifford explains how to use this feature with custom endpoints to improve the functionality, efficiency, and security of your applications.
Intro to Client Libraries in InfluxDB
Client libraries are a powerful way to harness the power of InfluxDB's API using familiar programming languages. Here, Jay Clifford explains what client libraries are, how they work, and why you should use them when working with InfluxDB.
Checks and Notifications in Action
In another video, Zoe Steinkamp discussed what checks and notifications in InfluxDB are. Here, she uses a real world example to demonstrate how and when to use the different types of checks and notifications available in InfluxDB.
Intro to Checks and Notifications
The InfluxDB platform provides several different types of checks and notifications to keep you informed about how your application is functioning. Here, Zoe Steinkamp outlines the key concepts behind checks and notifications in InfluxDB.
Optimizing Flux Queries for InfluxDB
Flux Queries are scripts that let you work with your data in InfluxDB. Here, Scott Anderson provides some tips for optimizing Flux queries, so that your data and applications are more performant.
Intro to Flux Functions
Functions are the building blocks of the Flux scripting language. Here, Scott Anderson describes what Flux functions are, how they work, and how to use them.
MQTT vs Kafka: An IoT Advocate's Perspective (Part 1 - The Basics)
With the Kafka Summit fast approaching, I thought it was time to get my hands dirty and see what it’s all about. As an advocate for IoT, I heard about Kafka but was too embedded in protocols like MQTT to investigate further. For the uninitiated (like me) both protocols seem extremely similar if not almost competing. However, I have learned this is far from the case and actually, in many cases, they complement one another.
Using Google Workspace Data for Security Observability
Keeping your systems secure is a never-ending challenge. Not only is it necessary to monitor and secure your own tech stack, but each new service a company uses creates another potential avenue for bad actors to try to exploit for their own ends.
Managing Time Series Data in Industrial IoT
The industrial revolution was a watershed period in human history. The shift from piecemeal, cottage-industry work to mechanized manufacturing transformed the way humans work. Since the 18th century, successive waves of innovation, such as the assembly line and the computer, continued to alter and change the nature of manufacturing. Today, we find ourselves in the midst of another industrial transformation.
