Giordano “Gyo” Piazza, GitKraken’s Director of Engineering, has spent the past month heads down on the next version of Kepler. When he got on a call to talk through it, he skipped the changelog and went straight to the part he actually wanted to talk about: how agents show their work.

Tuning guardrails can take time. To accelerate this, we combined the power of Claude Code, Coralogix Telemetry and the CX CLI, to build a loop that iterates on guardrails. To test our loop, we built a fictional chat interface for an iGaming operator, that took bets, gave odds on markets and more, but with a catch: this agent was not permitted to make predictions about where the market was going. With our goal in place, we got to work designing our loop.

Database monitoring is the continuous tracking of a database's health, performance, and resource consumption, covering metrics like query latency, throughput, connections, and replication lag. In the AI era, it has expanded to include a fifth dimension: spend. Modern teams monitor not just whether the database is fast, but whether the workload it serves is worth what it costs to run. In May 2025, an engineer named Bohan Zhang stood up at PGConf.dev in Montreal and broke every scaling rule in the book.

Codex is OpenAI's terminal-based autonomous coding agent, bundled into ChatGPT plans and billed through token-based credits. Claude Code is Anthropic's terminal-based coding agent, sold through Claude subscriptions or the API. Codex is cheaper to enter; Claude Code is stronger on complex work. Both run $100 to $250 per developer monthly at active use.

Johan Kraft introduces Percepio Tracealyzer during the hands-on Zephyr RTOS debugging class at Microchip MASTERs 2026 in Phoenix. Microchip MASTERs 2026 brought embedded developers together in Phoenix for several days of technical training, hands-on learning and conversations around the challenges engineers are solving every day. Percepio was there, with Founder and CTO Johan Kraft and Product Lead Andreas Klintemyr joining the Microchip community to meet developers, customers and industry partners.

Black Hat USA 2026 brought more than 20,000 people to Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. We were there as a Platinum sponsor at booth 4208, and across two days on the business hall floor we had more than 750 conversations with security engineers and architects. Almost every one of them, whatever it started as, turned into a version of the same question: how do I know? How do I know whether a vendor's AI does what the banner says? How do I know what my agents are doing on the network?

TLDR: “Preview” isn’t a lightweight version of GA, and it isn’t a beta with a new name on it. It just changes the timing and access. You’ll see new JFrog capabilities the day they’re ready for real use, not the day they’re ready for a press release. We’re starting at swampUP 2026. As we know, AI has changed the speed of software development and delivery. Work that used to take three months now takes weeks.
