In today's age of cloud services and SaaS platforms, continuous improvement isn't just a goal — it's a necessity. Here at Elastic, we're always on the lookout for ways to fine-tune our systems, be it our internal tools or the Elastic Cloud service. Our recent investigation in performance optimization within our Elastic Cloud QA environment, guided by Elastic Universal Profiling, is a great example of how we turn data into actionable insights.

In the complex world of microservices and distributed systems, achieving transparency and understanding the intricacies and inefficiencies of service interactions and request flows has become a paramount challenge. Distributed tracing is essential in understanding distributed systems. But distributed tracing, whether manually applied or auto-instrumented, is usually rather coarse-grained.

Elastic Universal Profiling™ agent is now open source! The industry’s most advanced fleetwide continuous profiling solution empowers users to identify performance bottlenecks, reduce cloud spend, and minimize their carbon footprint. This post explores the history of the agent, its move to open source, and its future integration with OpenTelemetry.
As AI continues to grow and solve problems across countless industries, a key part of that tech is the ability to seamlessly bridge the gap between human language and machine understanding. This is where natural language processing (NLP) and large language models (LLMs) come in. They provide distinct and specialized approaches for connecting the power of human communication with software and machines. Or in simpler terms, NLP and LLMs enable us to have human-like conversations with software.
