Over the years, InvGate Asset Management has helped organizations build structured, reliable IT inventories, creating the visibility and control required for effective IT Asset Management. That maturity is critical, but visibility alone does not eliminate one of the biggest operational burdens IT teams still face: constant manual work. Atlas was designed to address this gap.

Where do your teams go during a critical incident? For distributed teams, that war room is a channel in Slack or Microsoft Teams. The question is: are you creating a dedicated space for each incident, or are responders scrambling across DMs, email threads, and general channels trying to piece together what happened? The answer matters. Using dedicated incident channels has become the industry standard for high-performing incident response teams.

Earlier this year at our H1 2026 launch, we announced PagerDuty’s vision for autonomous operations: a future where AI agents learn from every incident, prevent failures before they happen, and progressively automate so teams can focus on innovation instead of firefighting.

This blog post is part of PagerDuty’s ongoing series on how we’re helping customers navigate their journey towards autonomous operations. Read on to learn about how PagerDuty’s Shift-Based Schedules (planned GA in May) builds towards this vision. PagerDuty has long been the gold standard for on-call management, helping thousands of teams build the foundations of digital reliability.

We’re excited to learn that our vmagent helped Airbnb migrate its high-volume metrics pipeline from StatsD and Veneur to OpenTelemetry. Airbnb is now handling 100 million samples per second. You can read more about the migration in these articles: In other news, April saw releases across the VictoriaMetrics Observability Stack. We have released several important bugfixes for VictoriaMetrics and many new features in VictoriaLogs. This release round-up covers updates for.

In the world of observability, “cardinality” has become a heavy word. It is a ghost used to justify skyrocketing bills or degraded query performance. When cardinality rises, the advice is almost always the same: reduce it. Drop your labels, or reduce the dimensions. It is usually framed as “optimization.” Every label you add to a metric is a dimension of knowledge. Each one gives you a way to slice, compare, and explain the chaos of production.

Events from Expo apps account for about 75% of the total event volume we receive from React Native apps. That number made it an easy decision to invest in updates to the Sentry React Native SDK to improve the debugging and performance workflow for your Expo apps. With these updates, you can now.

We've been shipping faster. A dark mode for the UI, AppSignal MCP, the AWS dashboard templates — things we would have kept internal a year ago until everything was polished. Now we don't. A v1 in your hands beats a v3 in our heads. We learn more from a week of real use than from a quarter of internal review. So we're giving that work a home. AppSignal Labs is where you'll find the earlier versions. Real software, available today, with a direct line to the team building it.
