Grafana 13.1 release: observability as code updates, extending Grafana Assistant across more data sources, and more

Earlier this year, Grafana 13 laid the groundwork for making it easier and faster than ever to turn your data into actionable insights. With our latest minor release, Grafana 13.1, we're building on that foundation, expanding observability as code, bringing Grafana Assistant to more data sources, and streamlining the everyday workflows teams rely on to visualize, analyze, and act on their data. Download Grafana 13.1 Below are just some of the highlights from Grafana 13.1.

DataStream 2.0: Faster, Smarter, Built for Scale

June 19, 2026 This is not a regular monthly update. DataStream Version 2.0 is a milestone — the result of relentless building, learning from customers, and pushing the platform toward what enterprise-scale security operations actually demand. The core has been rebuilt, new capabilities have been added across the board, and the platform is now faster, more resilient, and more extensible than ever. Here’s what’s new.

Why We Built Lynx: Bringing Control to the Age of AI Agents

For a decade, one idea has guided everything we’ve built at Tigera: How do you secure a dynamic system with a lot of moving parts that is changing rapidly, with a programmatic approach? Calico has applied that idea for Global 2000 companies running the largest Kubernetes platforms in the world, securing tens of millions of mission-critical transactions every day. Today I’m excited to announce the next chapter of that work: Lynx, a unified control plane for Kubernetes-native AI agents.

Route Critical Alerts Evenly and Move Faster from Message to Phone Call

It’s been a busy quarter at OnPage. We recently rolled out our updated Enterprise Management Console to a select group of beta customers, and the early feedback has been exciting to see. The new experience gives teams a cleaner, more modern way to manage critical communication workflows, on-call schedules, alerting activity and team visibility from one place. But we have not slowed down there.

What's New in InfluxDB 3.10: Performance Beta Expanded with New Enterprise Features

In our last release, we introduced a beta of performance updates designed for heavier, more complex time series workloads. InfluxDB 3.10 expands that beta to include enterprise features that give teams more control as they scale and manage larger workloads in InfluxDB 3. This release adds end-to-end backup and restore, row-level deletes, bulk import from Parquet, user management, and an RBAC preview to the previous performance beta.

Measuring engineering organizations in the age of AI

Engineering leadership is in the middle of a real transition, and most of the leaders I talk to know it. AI has reshaped how software gets built quickly enough that the operating models many of us spent a decade refining no longer fit cleanly, and there is a great deal of serious work happening across the industry to figure out how these models should evolve. The teams I find most impressive right now are the ones treating their operating model as an open question rather than a settled one.

Introducing the StatusGator browser extension for Chrome and Firefox

We’re excited to announce the launch of the StatusGator browser extension, now available for both Chrome and Firefox. Whether you’re troubleshooting an issue, wondering if a website is down, or looking for more information about an ongoing incident, the extension gives you instant access to service status information with a single click. Simply install the extension and start checking the status of websites and services as you browse.

Announcing HAProxy 3.4

HAProxy 3.4 is a milestone release that significantly advances HAProxy’s legendary flexibility, performance, security, reliability, and observability. Dynamic backend management simplifies integration with modern architectures, memory efficiency improves across a broader range of workloads, native cryptographic operations at the proxy layer open new possibilities for API security architectures, and OpenTelemetry support makes HAProxy a first-class participant in distributed tracing pipelines.
