Move fast, don't break things: Consistent testing standards at scale

Feb 11, 2026 By Eric Metaj In Datadog
Moving quickly is essential for modern engineering teams, but speed without guardrails can introduce hidden risks in testing. As organizations scale, teams often define and apply coverage standards inconsistently across services and repositories. What qualifies as “acceptable coverage” in one project may be completely different in another. Without automated enforcement, untested code can slip through reviews.

Improve test coverage across codebases with Datadog Code Coverage

Feb 11, 2026 By Eric Metaj In Datadog
As codebases grow across many different services, it becomes harder to see what test suites actually cover. AI-assisted development and faster release cycles increase the volume of changes landing in repositories, raising the risk that untested code will make it through to production. To maintain a high standard, teams need clear and scalable visibility across repositories, consistent testing standards, and a way to catch blind spots before they reach users.

Get Kafka-Nated Bonus Episode: Viktor's Kafka Journey

Feb 11, 2026 By Aiven In Aiven
In this episode, we sit down with Viktor Somogyi-Vass, a veteran of the Kafka ecosystem who recently joined Aiven after nearly a decade at Cloudera. Viktor shares his journey from becoming an Apache Kafka Committer to tackling the most complex challenges in modern cloud-native streaming. We dive deep into the architectural shift from traditional data centers to the cloud, exploring how Diskless Kafka (Disaggregated Storage) is slashing costs and why KIP-1134 is the next frontier for true multi-tenancy.

What is RDMA?

Feb 11, 2026 By Benjamin Ryzman In Canonical
Modern data centres are hitting a wall that faster CPUs alone cannot fix. As workloads scale out and latency budgets shrink, the impact of moving data between servers is starting to become the most significant factor in overall performance. Remote Direct Memory Access, or RDMA, is one of the technologies reshaping how that data moves, and it forces a rethink of some long-held assumptions in data centre networking. This article is the first in a short series.

OpenTelemetry in Production: Design for Order, High Signal, Low Noise, and Survival

Feb 11, 2026 By Sematext In Sematext
A lot of talk around OpenTelemetry has to do with instrumentation, especially auto-instrumentation, about OTel being vendor neutral, being open and a defacto standard. But how you use the final output of OTel is what makes business difference. In other words, how do you use it to make your life as an SRE/DevOps/biz person easier? How do you have to set things up to truly solve production issues faster?

Agent vs Assistant: The key distinction between Olly and the competition

Feb 11, 2026 By Chris Cooney In Coralogix
The market is saturated with agents and assistants, making it difficult to tell them apart. However, the difference between these two approaches is significant. They offer radically distinct levels of impact, reflecting major differences in both their technical complexity and the quality of their inferences. Let’s figure out the distinction.
