How Linux readahead works, and the two ways to change it

Sep 29, 2026 By JE Jesús Espino In VictoriaMetrics
Most of the time, when we read a file, we do not think much about what happens underneath. You ask for some bytes, you get some bytes. But when getting data off the disk efficiently is at the core of what your application does, what happens underneath starts to matter a great deal, and two identical read() calls can differ enormously in what they cost. So in this post we are going to look at one of the Linux kernel’s optimizations for reading files: readahead.

Starlette 1.7.0 Brings Native Tracing and Smarter Route Naming

Sep 29, 2026 By Mitchell Hartweg In Scout
If you’re running FastAPI, you’re running Starlette underneath it, whether you think about it or not. At Scout, we spend a lot of time thinking about what happens at that ASGI layer, since that’s exactly where our Python agent hooks in to give you request-level visibility. Starlette 1.7.0 just landed, and it’s a release worth reading closely if you care about tracing, routing, or just keeping your app running on a supported dependency chain.

Introducing AI Ecosystem: Zoom Out to See Your Whole AI Agent Fleet

Sep 29, 2026 By Dan Juengst In Honeycomb
A few months ago, we launched Agent Timeline to close the gap between knowing an agent failed and understanding why. It took the tangled reality of a multi-agent, multi-trace workflow and rendered it as a single, readable conversation: every LLM call, tool invocation, handoff, and downstream system span laid out in the order they happened.

Agents Need Context: Introducing Canvas Connectors, Fleet-wide AI Agent Visibility, and More

Sep 29, 2026 By Dan Juengst In Honeycomb
Earlier this year, we introduced more capabilities to support agents in production, a more chaotic, complex environment that requires a tremendous amount of context to understand. Unlike tools that capture shallow, pre-aggregated metrics, or cannot join a metric, trace, and log in one query, Honeycomb retains the context and connective tissue from telemetry data to build a nuanced view of production.

Big improvements to Seer Agent

Sep 29, 2026 By Peter McCarron In Sentry
Today marks exactly five months since we launched Seer Agent, our friendly AI agent for querying all things in your Sentry projects (well, five months and a day ago, but close enough). Since then, we’ve had a lot of chats with Seer Agent. You may have even seen a few of them popping up on social media recently. It’s become an integral part of our debugging workflows and feature iteration process.

How Federal IT Teams Move to FIPS 140-3 Without Disrupting Authorization or Service Continuity

Sep 29, 2026 By ScienceLogic In ScienceLogic
A credible FIPS 140-3 transition does more than replace an operating system. It protects authorization timelines, service continuity, rollback options, and accountability across the operational boundary.

Shipped: Every AI provider, one cost story

Sep 29, 2026 By Kaitlin Woo In CloudZero
If you were anywhere near LinkedIn last week, you probably saw us launch AI Signals. We weren’t exactly quiet about it. (Press release, a couple of blog posts, and more social posts than we’d like to admit. Sorry about your feed.) We covered the why behind AI Signals already, but I wanted to actually walk you through what you’re seeing on the screen. Sooner or later someone asks what the company spent on AI last month.

Never lose quorum in Apache Kafka - and what to do when you do

Sep 29, 2026 By Anton Agestam | In Aiven
Apache Kafka's documentation and operational lore for KRaft are clear on one point: you shall never lose controller quorum. It is good advice, because a Raft quorum that can no longer elect a leader cannot commit metadata, and a Kafka cluster without a functioning controller cannot create topics, change ACLs, elect partition leaders, or otherwise make progress on its control plane.
