How to Manage Grafana Access Groups for Team Control

Managing team access in Grafana can be tricky—especially as your organization grows. That’s where Grafana access groups (also known as Limited Access Groups in Hosted Graphite) come in. They allow you to define groups of dashboards and restrict which team members can access them. If you’re using Hosted Graphite with Grafana dashboards, this feature helps you organize teams, maintain data privacy, and simplify access control—all while giving users just the permissions they need.

The Hidden Bottlenecks in AI Infrastructure (and How to Fix Them)

Artificial intelligence has entered an era where infrastructure is the real moat. Teams spend millions on GPUs, yet models still stall, latency spikes unpredictably, and throughput flatlines at 20% of what spec sheets promise. These hidden bottlenecks lurk far beneath the surface - in power grids, network fabrics, memory bandwidth, orchestration layers, and even governance policies. In this guide, we uncover where AI infrastructure actually breaks, what the emerging data and research reveal, and how Clarifai's reasoning and orchestration stack helps eliminate these unseen friction points.

Certificate revocation is broken but we pretend it works

Last week, someone commented on my post about 47-day certificates: This perfectly captures our collective delusion that SSL certificate revocation works. You click a button, the certificate stops working. And why wouldn’t we believe that? Every CA has a big “Revoke Certificate” button right there in the dashboard. It must do something, right? Here’s the dirty truth: most revoked certificates keep working.

Open source vs commercial AI: choosing the right path for your business

This blog is based on a presentation by Guillaume, Field Chief Technology Officer at Upsun, and Robert from Ilwiin Technology during the AI Action Summit. The original French presentation has been translated and edited for clarity and accuracy. The AI field is advancing significantly, presenting organizations with the question: Should they choose open-source or commercial AI models? This choice impacts everything from costs and data privacy to long-term business strategy.

The Hidden Side of AI: Building a Smarter Enterprise AI Solution

Everyone is talking about AI models, copilots, and large language engines. They’re certainly impressive, even transformative, but they’re only part of the story. The real power of AI depends on what’s happening behind the scenes. In enterprise environments, that hidden side of AI (the infrastructure, automation, and orchestration that make everything run) determines whether an AI strategy succeeds or fails. That’s where a smarter enterprise AI solution begins.

Value Engineering Vs. Cost Cutting: The Value Paradox

For every CFO who’s ever asked, “Can we reduce engineering costs by 15%?” there’s a CTO quietly thinking, “But at what cost?” That tug-of-war plays out inside most SaaS companies. Finance wants to tighten budgets to protect margins, while engineering and product teams push for the resources to build, test, and innovate faster. The truth is, the teams that spend most efficiently — not necessarily the least — drive the highest returns.

Announcing HAProxy Unified Gateway (beta)

The continuous shift toward containerization means businesses are migrating more complex, mission-critical workloads to Kubernetes. This trend necessitates traffic management solutions that support diverse protocols (such as TCP, UDP, HTTP, and gRPC) and sophisticated organizational architectures, while delivering exceptional performance and efficiency.
