As an SRE, you constantly juggle proactive tasks to improve reliability and scalability with reactive firefighting when issues arise—often leaving little time to address the root causes. This is not unlike the firefighters of Ancient Rome, the Vigiles, who were tasked with not only responding to fires but also preventing them. Established in 6 AD under Emperor Augustus, the Vigiles patrolled the streets of Rome, looking for potential fire hazards.

Cybercrime is expected to exceed $10.5 trillion in 2025. To put that into perspective, the total U.S. GDP in 2023 was $21 trillion. So why is cybercrime so profitable? The answer lies in the ‘perfect storm’ of conditions we currently face. Today’s organizations are totally reliant on their digital assets to function. This dependence gives bad actors the opportunity to extract data, digital assets, and money once they are inside a network—often without human intervention.

Over the summer we told you about an update to our core Prometheus data source, which was part of a larger shift in our effort to meet users where they are. It’s a change we’re really excited about, as it represents our biggest step yet toward enabling the creation of truly vendor-neutral data sources for Grafana.

The combination of AI and search enables new levels of enterprise intelligence, with technologies such as natural language processing (NLP), machine learning (ML)-based relevancy, vector/semantic search, and large language models (LLMs) helping organizations finally unlock the value of unanalyzed data. Search and knowledge discovery technology is required for organizations to uncover, analyze, and utilize key data.

Understanding telemetry signals for better decision-making, improved performance, and enhanced customer experiences Telemetry signals have evolved significantly over the years — if you blinked, you could have missed it. In fact, much of the common wisdom about observability needs a refresh. If your observability solution doesn’t consider the current state of telemetry, you might need an upgrade.

Package promotion workflows are a great way to isolate and protect production repositories away from public upstreams, so they only receive clear and vetted packages.
