Grafana Scenes is a frontend library that allows you to effortlessly extend Grafana, enabling capabilities that were once deemed unattainable, or exceedingly challenging, for Grafana app plugin developers. We first introduced Grafana Scenes with the launch of Grafana 10 at GrafanaCON 2023. Now, after 3 months in private preview, we are excited to announce that we are graduating Grafana Scenes to general availability.

Application performance management (APM) has moved beyond traditional monitoring to become an essential tool for developers, offering deep insights into applications at the code level. With APM, teams can not only detect issues but also understand their root causes, optimizing software performance and end-user experiences. The modern landscape presents a wide range of APM tools and companies offering different solutions. Additionally, OpenTelemetry is becoming the open ingestion standard for APM.

When developers build and deploy their apps, understanding what’s slow or broken in production is more a necessity than a convenience. With Sentry, developers are able to quickly pinpoint and fix issues that impact their end users or business, and we want every developer to have the best error monitoring in place from the moment they deploy code to production. So we’re partnering with Fly.io to do just that.

As Kubernetes adoption surges across the industry, AWS EKS stands out as a robust solution that eases the journey from initial setup to efficient scaling. This fully managed Kubernetes service is revolutionizing how businesses handle containerized applications, offering agility, scalability, and resilience.

In the early days of the web, the idea of performance was relatively straightforward. Pages were static, and the most dynamic thing you might encounter was a blinking banner ad. But as the web evolved, so did our ambitions. Today it's not just about building web pages anymore; it's about crafting experiences. Load speed time and search engine optimization (SEO) matter just as much as the content on the page. Thus, the choice between React and Next.js is an important one, with real-world implications.

While understanding user behavior is key to effectively optimizing your application, it can be difficult to grasp how problems in individual sessions fit into larger trends. You could look at each relevant user session one by one to gauge how many users are experiencing an issue and to what degree. However, clicking through hundreds (or even thousands) of sessions is time-consuming and can overwhelm you with data that’s hard to analyze.
