Are you ready to start your journey on the road to collecting telemetry data from your applications? Great observability begins with great instrumentation! In this series, you'll explore how to adopt OpenTelemetry (OTel) and how to instrument an application to collect tracing telemetry. You'll learn how to leverage out-of-the-box automatic instrumentation tools and understand when it's necessary to explore more advanced manual instrumentation for your applications.

Modern observability and security require comprehensive access to your hosts, processes, services, and applications to monitor system performance, conduct live debugging, and ensure application security protection. This level of access enables advanced capabilities such as runtime instrumentation and detailed diagnostics. While these techniques are powerful, they can pose risks if not managed properly, as demonstrated in the recent incident.

Our company uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to streamline the comparison and purchasing process for car insurance and car loans. As our data grew, we had problems with AWS Redshift which was slow and expensive. Changing to ClickHouse made our query performance faster and greatly cut our costs. But this also caused storage challenges like disk failures and data recovery.

Character collations determine the sort order and classification of characters. When creating a database with initdb, PostgreSQL normally sets the collation based on the operating system’s locale settings, but other special collations, such as “C,” “POSIX,” and “ucs_basic,” are available as alternatives. On Linux systems, updates to glibc can bring changes to collation rules.

Over the years, many of us have become accustomed to letting computers do our thinking for us. “That’s what the computer says” is a refrain in many bad customer service interactions. “That’s what the data says” is a variation—“the data” doesn’t say much if you don’t know how it was collected and how the data analysis was performed. “That’s what GPS says”—well, GPS is usually right, but I have seen GPS systems tell me to go the wrong way down a one-way street.
