Distributed Tracing In Netdata: OpenTelemetry Traces

Back in 2020, when we laid out where Netdata was going, the plan listed anomaly detection, log collection and “application traces collection”. The first two shipped years ago. Traces took longer, because we wanted them to work the way the rest of Netdata works: collected and stored on your own nodes, with no separate backend to stand up. Distributed tracing is now available in Netdata.

The Year-2 Price Cliff: What Your Observability Stack Really Costs Over 3 Years

I’m not the one whose phone lights up at 3 a.m. when production breaks. But I’ve spent years working alongside the engineers who are, and I’ve noticed that observability migrations happen for two reasons. Either engineering needed one, or, far more often, a quote landed that looked too good to refuse. The engineers rarely regret the first kind. The second kind they tell me about in year two, usually with a renewal notice in hand.

File, object, or block storage: what's the difference?

Choosing where your data lives is only half the question. How it's stored matters too. File, object, and block storage are each built for a different job. File storage uses the hierarchy you already know. Files live inside folders, and those folders can live inside other folders. Object storage gets rid of that hierarchy. Each piece of data is stored as its own object, which makes it easy to scale.

Watch an AI Agent Fix a Failed CI Build | Harness Worker Agents

What happens when an AI agent can do more than suggest a fix — and actually take action inside your CI pipeline? See Harness Worker Agents in action as an AI agent identifies a failed CI build, determines what went wrong, creates the fix, and gets the pipeline moving toward production again. Worker Agents bring AI-powered reasoning directly into your software delivery pipelines while maintaining the controls enterprises need, including sandboxed execution, scoped credentials, policies, and RBAC.

The Next AI Breakthrough? Teaching AI to Shut Up and Decide

Jev is a new AI model from Type Safe built around a very different idea: instead of generating long answers, it makes fast, simple decisions. The team reportedly even demoed it playing Doom using nothing but split-second choices. After years of teaching AI models to talk, could the next breakthrough be teaching them to simply decide?
