Build a Feature and Release It In a Day

AI-generated code security is the part nobody plans for. Ross Hendrickson, CTO of Inspectiv, on what happens after the AI writes it. He can think of a feature and ship it the same day, generating more code than a week of writing it by hand would have produced. The vulnerabilities don't disappear along with the typing. Something still has to review what was generated, secure it, and get it out the door without becoming the new bottleneck.

Path to OTel Code Owner: Lessons from otelhttp (Grafana OpenTelemetry Community Call #10)

In this episode of the Grafana OTel Community Call, we're joined by Sonal Gaud, code owner of otelhttp on opentelemetry-go-contrib. We'll trace her path from writing test-coverage PRs to owning the instrumentation library that most Go services use to get HTTP traces and metrics for free — and go deep on how otelhttp actually works under the hood: context propagation, metrics/attributes via the Labeler, route cardinality, and how the library evolves alongside HTTP semantic conventions.

What is the Grafana Knowledge Graph and How Does It Help AI Agents? (Demo)

Grafana's Knowledge Graph builds a contextual layer on top of your telemetry data, automatically extracting entities and relationships so you can see how your services actually connect. In this deep dive, Jia show how it powers root-cause investigation both in the Grafana UI and through agentic workflows using gcx and Claude Code. Learn more about Grafana's observability tools and try Knowledge Graph for your own telemetry data at grafana.com.

Platform Engineering Without a Platform Team: How Growth-Stage SaaS Companies Get Production-Grade Infrastructure

If your team is outgrowing a simple PaaS and you do not want to spend a year or more building a platform engineering function, adopt a platform that operates Day 2 for you. Control Plane patches and upgrades the platform, autoscales and right-sizes workloads, and runs them active-active across regions and clouds under a 99.999% SLA. It runs natively on AWS, GCP, and Azure, and on your own clusters or on premises through Bring Your Own Kubernetes.

Oracle database DevOps: automating schema changes for Oracle

Learn how to safely automate Oracle schema changes. Discover what makes Oracle database DevOps unique. Automating Oracle schema changes safely means considering what makes Oracle different. A real Oracle database DevOps practice pairs version-controlled changelogs and pipeline integration with policy-as-code protection, pre-flight checks, and tested rollback scripts, so schema changes deploy with the same speed and safety as application code.

Can India's sovereign cloud keep up with what India is building?

The conversation around sovereign cloud in India is getting louder, which is welcome, but as more providers enter the space, I keep seeing the same architectural pattern, and it's worth being direct about what it misses. The pattern is familiar... take a cloud platform, host it in India, manage it end to end, call it sovereign, and let data residency carry the rest of the argument. That works for web apps and standard enterprise workloads.
