The Metrics as a Service (MaaS) model is an approach to organizational data management that stores monitoring data in a central location, enabling different teams to easily access and extract maximum value from collected data. This centralized approach avoids silos and vendor lock-in, offers a better return on investment, and frees people up to work on higher-value tasks. By understanding the needs of various stakeholders, including IT Operations, Application Developers, and Business Managers, a MaaS solution can provide granular insights and visibility into monitoring data, allowing organizations to make informed decisions and drive business growth. A purpose-built time series platform, such as InfluxDB, is essential for building a scalable and reliable MaaS solution, providing multiple deployment options, flexible data collection, and advanced analytics capabilities. By leveraging open-source tools like InfluxDB, organizations can create a cost-effective way to consolidate monitoring solutions across the organization, encouraging cross-functional collaboration, innovation, and democratizing data access.
