When we introduced Canvas in beta, our goal was to reimagine how teams explore and collaborate around their observability data without requiring manual querying. Canvas has quickly become the AI-guided workspace that helps teams transform raw telemetry into meaningful, shared understanding faster than ever before. And today, we’re thrilled to announce that Canvas is now Generally Available (GA) for all Honeycomb users.

Developers don’t need another “run this tool, stare at a number, and feel bad about it” website. So we built something different. WebVitals helps you analyze, optimize, and ship faster websites, all in one place. Built by the same folks who obsess over stack traces and slow queries, it connects the dots between performance metrics and what’s actually slowing your users down. In one place, you can.

Introducing Kentik AI Advisor, a powerful new AI designed to deeply understand your network, reason through complex issues, and deliver clear, actionable guidance for designing, operating, and protecting your networks. By autonomously querying Kentik’s rich telemetry and tools, it explains what’s happening, why it matters, and what to do next — from troubleshooting and capacity planning to cost optimization and risk mitigation.

Building automated workflows that adapt to real-world complexity can be a challenge. As systems scale and scenarios multiply, teams often end up hardcoding endless logic branches just to handle every potential outcome. That’s why we’re introducing Datadog Agent Builder, a powerful new tool that lets you create custom AI agents that are fully hosted by Datadog.

At Progress, we continue to develop and enhance the Progress Flowmon product family. The latest update brings the core Flowmon product to release 13.0, and it includes remarkable performance improvements, strengthened security and expanded protocol support. Full details of what’s new and improved in the latest release are available on the Flowmon product page. In this blog, we’re excited to highlight the newest features and improvements to the Flowmon solution.

We are thrilled to announce a major update across our line of ODBC Drivers, introducing a graphical configuration interface for macOS and Linux, extended authentication methods, and compatibility with the latest database versions including PostgreSQL 18 and MariaDB 12.

For those who don't know Obkio, we're a synthetic Network Performance Monitoring, Troubleshooting and Diagnostics platform. We help network teams identify, diagnose, and resolve performance issues across distributed networks, from remote offices to cloud applications. For years, we've focused on what we do best: agent-to-agent performance monitoring.

Densify has announced Kubex AI, a major leap forward in how organizations optimize complex Kubernetes and AI environments. This new solution combines verticalized AI for resource optimization with a conversational interface, empowering anyone—regardless of technical background—to access expert-level analytics and automation through simple, natural-language interactions.

Think of Percepio Detect as a security camera for your firmware—always monitoring, but only storing data when something unusual happens, such as crashes or performance anomalies. By providing rich debugging information when needed while keeping the overall data volume to a minimum, Detect enables continuous observability over unlimited time, even on resource-constrained devices such as 32-bit microcontrollers.
