Co-founder of DevOps Days, O11y, Inuits, and pivotal instigator of the DevOps movement Kris Buytaert explains why “observability best practices” starts with functioning monitoring and common mistakes to avoid.

Kris Buytaert is the Co-founder of Inuits, O11y, and ‘DevOps Days,’ an internationally-attended series of DevOps events. He is a passionate advocate of Free and Open Source Software, and is accredited by the community as being a founding instigator of the DevOps movement. In this episode we trace the history of the DevOps movement from its intersection with open source and Agile, through the evolution of Cloud technologies and tools such Docker and Kubernetes, to present day best practices for CI/CD, monitoring, and observability.

Big Tent hosts Mat Ryer and Tom Wilkie talk with Marco Pracucci (Grafana Labs), Cyril Tovena (Grafana Labs), and Ryan Worl (WarpStream/Confluent) about building Sigyn (the internal code name for Mimir’s next-gen architecture), public, open source, and designed for lower TCO and stronger reliability. They cover gapless consumption, predictable partitioning, new “block builder” components, and the practical realities of migrating “mid-flight.”

While analyzing network traffic, we found huge amounts of telemetry including chat snippets, being sent to statsig.anthropic.com. The irony? Statsig was recently acquired by OpenAI. In this video, we use proxymock to intercept the traffic and show you exactly what’s being sent from your terminal to Anthropic (and technically, OpenAI’s infrastructure).

Everyone is talking about Claude Code, but few people understand the machinery running in the background. Today, we’re opening up the terminal to see how Anthropic’s coding agent manages state, runs tests, and fixes its own bugs. From the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to its unique React-based terminal UI, find out what makes Claude Code the most "senior" feeling AI assistant on the market.

Looking back at 2025, we can’t help but smile. More than just breakthrough technology, this year was defined by incredible collaboration. From the energy at our biggest HAProxyConf ever to the daily feedback that keeps us sharp, your engagement drives every innovation. We tackled some heavy lifting this year, but seeing how those solutions are already making a real difference for your infrastructure made it all worthwhile.

In this special holiday episode of The Intelligent Enterprise, host Tom Stoneman takes a step back from the day-to-day pace of enterprise life to look at where AI has been in 2025 and where it might be heading next. To do it, he sits down with his colleague VS Joshi, Global Head of Product Marketing at Digitate, for a year-end retrospective and a 2026 outlook.
