Telemetry Talks ep. 5 - OpenTelemetry in the AI agents era

Telemetry Talks explores how OpenTelemetry’s CNCF graduation arrives at a pivotal moment for AI-powered development. Together with Alex Marshalov, we dive into vibe coding, AI agents, and the growing need for observability in GenAI systems — from prompts and token usage to reasoning chains and distributed traces — using the VictoriaMetrics stack and OpenTelemetry as the foundation for understanding the next generation of autonomous software.

ActiveMQ Protocol Comparison: AMQP vs MQTT vs OpenWire vs STOMP

One of ActiveMQ's most powerful and underappreciated capabilities is its protocol polyglotism: a single broker can simultaneously accept Java JMS clients over OpenWire, Python services over AMQP, IoT sensors over MQTT, and Ruby scripts over STOMP, all routing messages between each other without protocol bridges or translation middleware.

What Is Your Operating Model Costing Your Business?

The biggest cost in your business may not appear anywhere on your balance sheet because some of the most expensive problems are rarely measured directly. Lost productivity, recurring technology issues, underused applications, and the effort required to manage them all accumulate over time without ever appearing as a line item in a financial report.

Features in Icinga Web 2 Worth Knowing About

When you work closely with Icinga Web 2, developing modules, building dashboards, poking around the internals, you naturally pick up on features that most users never think about. Some are usability improvements that deserve more attention than they get. Others are developer conveniences that turn out to be genuinely useful in the right user situation too. They’re just the kind of thing that rarely makes it into the getting-started guide. Not all of these will apply to your daily workflow.

Are AI Tools Actually Improving Developer Experience? (Experts Cut Through the Hype)

AI tools are spreading across the entire software development lifecycle - but are they actually making developers more productive, or just adding noise? In this panel from Context Conference, Najla Elmachtoub (Squadformers) moderates a sharp, no-fluff conversation with Nathen Harvey (Google, DORA program), Bill Harding (GitClear), and Jeremy Castile (GitKraken) on what's really working when it comes to AI and developer experience.

What Is Coherent Routing?

Coherent routing, Routed Optical Networking, Converged Optical Routing Architecture (CORA), are all names for the same concept: an advanced network architecture which integrates coherent optical transceivers directly into IP routers. This convergence of layers creates a simplified and highly efficient IP-over-DWDM (IP over Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) network.

The I-601A Waiver: How to Request Forgiveness for Unlawful Presence Before Your Green Card Interview

For individuals pursuing a Green Card who have accumulated unlawful presence in the United States, leaving the country for a consular interview can trigger a re-entry bar that disrupts the entire process. The I-601A waiver - formally known as the Application for Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver - offers a way to address that bar before departing, allowing eligible applicants to attend their consular interview knowing they will not be prevented from returning. Understanding who qualifies, how the process works, and what makes a strong application is essential for anyone navigating this pathway.

9 Trusted dental IT support services in Australia - Teamwork Technology declared winner (2026)

Across the 2026 review of Australian dental IT support services, Teamwork Technology was declared the year's winner on the strength of a national operations standard that holds across NSW, VIC, and QLD with 24/7 chair-side response and dental practice management fluency. Dental practices in 2026 need more than generalist IT support. The combination of practice management uptime, imaging hardware reliability, patient-data compliance, and cybersecurity readiness puts dental IT in its own category, with its own set of operational expectations.

How Small Law Firms Can Compete With Large Firms Using the Right Software

Small law firms lose clients to larger competitors every day - not because they lack talent, but because they look harder to work with. Slow responses, billing confusion, missing documents, unanswered emails. None of these are talent problems. They are operational problems, and nearly all of them are fixable with the right legal practice management software.
