A framework for measuring effective AI adoption in engineering

These days, engineering leaders find themselves caught between a rock and a hard place. On paper, AI adoption looks like an unqualified success. Developers are shipping more code faster than ever, pull request volumes are up, and teams report feeling more productive. Their leaders rush to LinkedIn to share their plans to scale adoption because their teams are just so much more efficient. But then, the incidents and bug reports start piling up.

Knowledge Graph + RAG: A Unified Approach to DevOps Intelligence

Knowledge graphs and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) are complementary techniques for enhancing large language models with external knowledge, and each brings unique strengths for DevOps use cases. While they are often mentioned together, they are fundamentally different systems, and combining them delivers far better outcomes than relying on either approach alone.

Gisual Enters the Stack: Power, AI, and the Next Phase of Observability

ScienceLogic recently partnered with Gisual—a leader in AI power intelligence­—to bring real-time power insight directly into the ScienceLogic AI Platform. On the surface, that might sound like a straightforward integration story. In reality, it signals something much bigger: observability continues to expand well beyond the digital stack, and operators now treat power as a first-class operational signal.

Let’s break it down in the next section.

Building Trust in AI-Powered Kubernetes Ops: Why "Good Enough" Is a Production Killer

The air in the operations world is thick with AI and LLMs. EVERY vendor is rushing to slap an “AI-powered” badge on their product. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: In high-stakes Kubernetes operations, one bad AI recommendation can destroy months of trust-building in an instant. We aren’t building a chatbot to suggest recipes. We are building systems that, armed with kubectl permissions, have the potential to take down production with a single, wrong command.

The year in AI at Grafana Labs
