Managing telemetry data effectively is a serious challenge for today’s engineering teams. In our webinar, Telemetry Data Management: Tales from the Trenches, experts from Mezmo and DZone shared practical strategies for building robust telemetry pipelines that both streamline operations and turn raw data into a strategic asset.

Key Takeaways
‍

1. Telemetry Data Complexity: Bill highlighted the challenge of handling vast and varied telemetry data, often seen as "wastewater" despite its potential for valuable insights. This data increases in volume by 23% each year, creating cost and management challenges. Bill also discussed the issues related to the lack of optimization and agility, and the need to deliver value to all consumers. 
2. The Transformative Power of Telemetry Pipelines: The webinar introduced telemetry pipelines as a powerful solution for transforming and optimizing log data. These pipelines act as conduits to collect, filter, enrich, and organize data in motion, delivering it to different consumers to meet their specific needs. Telemetry pipelines effectively address the key challenges of telemetry data: taming its volume, transforming it for actionability, and enabling agility for response and monitoring.
3. Data Profiling: Profiling telemetry data in the Mezmo platform helps users understand patterns, filter out unnecessary information, and apply techniques like sampling or throttling. Braxton explained in detail how this approach enables precise slicing and dicing of data, preparing for targeted optimizations and transformations.
4. Optimize and Respond: Periodic data profiling can enhance understanding, reveal more details, and identify opportunities for further optimization. Mezmo delivers business value by transforming telemetry data into actionable alerts, which helps resolve issues quickly and improve overall operational efficiency. With its flexible, scalable solutions, the platform offers customization for various teams, ensuring rapid response to changes in telemetry data.
