OTel Updates: OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation (OBI) Hits Alpha

Some parts of a system don’t lend themselves to quick instrumentation changes. You might have a production binary that hasn’t been rebuilt in years, or a stack made of several languages where each team manages telemetry differently. In those situations, getting consistent signals often means touching code you’d rather leave alone or coordinating updates across many services. OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation (OBI) approaches this from the kernel side.

Our Engineering in the Age of AI: 2026 Benchmark Report finds AI is making engineering faster, but not necessarily better

Everyone's talking about how AI is transforming software development. Teams are shipping more code, deploying more frequently, and getting features to market faster than they could a year ago. The productivity gains are real. But we kept hearing a different story from engineering leaders. Yes, velocity is up. But incidents are climbing, resolution times are getting longer, and code review processes are struggling to keep up.

Top DevOps Challenges in 2025 and How APM Solves Them

In 2025, DevOps continues to grow and change quickly, helping teams deliver software faster and more securely. But as systems become more complex with microservices, cloud platforms, and AI-driven tools, new challenges arise. Teams now need to balance speed with security, manage too many tools, control rising cloud costs, and still maintain high-quality software. This is where Application Performance Monitoring (APM) becomes essential.

The Hidden Bottlenecks in AI Infrastructure (and How to Fix Them)

Artificial intelligence has entered an era where infrastructure is the real moat. Teams spend millions on GPUs, yet models still stall, latency spikes unpredictably, and throughput flatlines at 20% of what spec sheets promise. These hidden bottlenecks lurk far beneath the surface - in power grids, network fabrics, memory bandwidth, orchestration layers, and even governance policies. In this guide, we uncover where AI infrastructure actually breaks, what the emerging data and research reveal, and how Clarifai's reasoning and orchestration stack helps eliminate these unseen friction points.

Open source vs commercial AI: choosing the right path for your business

This blog is based on a presentation by Guillaume, Field Chief Technology Officer at Upsun, and Robert from Ilwiin Technology during the AI Action Summit. The original French presentation has been translated and edited for clarity and accuracy. The AI field is advancing significantly, presenting organizations with the question: Should they choose open-source or commercial AI models? This choice impacts everything from costs and data privacy to long-term business strategy.

Add Postgres with one YAML line. Deploy in under a minute.

Let’s break down why this matters, and how it can change the way you approach building and running applications. You want database power without getting bogged down in tooling and config. Most of your week should be building features, not hunting for connection strings or maintaining bespoke infra scripts. Developers tell us they just want to code and solve application problems, with minimal platform friction.
