Our Q1 momentum has been focused on a simple goal: making InfluxDB easier to operate, easier to scale, and faster to put to work. Across Telegraf, InfluxDB 3, and our managed offerings, these updates reduce friction in how teams collect, process, and scale time series workloads.

The Atlassian Rovo Model Context Protocol MCP Server now supports Bitbucket Cloud. AI clients like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and VS Code can now browse repositories, create commits, open pull requests, and check pipeline results, all through the same secure MCP connection that already works with Jira and Confluence.

Today, we’re announcing that Dynatrace has signed an agreement to acquire Bindplane. The transaction is expected to close later this month, subject to customary closing conditions. This is an exciting step forward for our team. We’ll keep building, shipping, and supporting our customers and partners the same way we always have.

Over the past few months, we’ve been making the Kentik platform easier to use and more actionable, with AI increasingly at the center of how teams interact with it. AI Advisor sits near the middle of a lot of that progress, but this is not only an AI story.

Your developers are buried under tickets for environments, pipelines, and infra tweaks, while a small platform team tries to keep up. That is not developer self-service. That is managed frustration. If 200 developers depend on five platform engineers for every change, you do not have a platform; you have a bottleneck. Velocity drops, burnout rises, and shadow tooling appears. Developer self-service fixes this, but only when it is treated as a product, not a portal skin.

Self-service infrastructure replaces ticket queues with controlled, automated workflows so developers can get what they need safely and on demand. Policy-as-code, standardized templates, and an Internal Developer Portal (IDP) provide guardrails that maintain security, compliance, and cost control. You can demonstrate ROI in 90 days by starting with a single golden path and measuring adoption, speed, and policy outcomes. If platform teams are buried in tickets, they are not operating a control plane.

Apache Kafka partition count isn't just a number—it defines parallelism, ordering, and operational complexity. Learn the formula to balance throughput requirements with maintenance costs, avoid common anti-patterns, and find your 'Goldilocks' number for production-ready performance.

In 2026, I think it’s safe to say that most mobile devices in enterprise organizations aren’t purchased just for their ability to make calls. And for millions of employees, especially frontline workers, their primary device isn’t even a laptop anymore - it’s a smartphone or tablet. Yet, mobile device insights have largely remained a blind spot for IT.

TL;DR: Customer Zero proves a unified observability model—ingest → detect → investigate → automate response—on a single platform for faster, end-to-end operations.
