Introducing Aiven for DataHub: Managed context for humans and AI

Discover Aiven for DataHub: a fully managed, open-source data catalog that gives your teams and AI agents the context they need to find and understand data. According to an MIT study, 95% of AI projects fail to deliver value. I've been thinking about why that number is so stubbornly high, and I've come to believe the answer isn't about models,compute or even data quality in the traditional sense -It's about context.

Optimizing the OpenTelemetry Python SDK for LLM Workloads

Agentic workloads thrive with precision tooling. Just like developers, they need the rich context, high cardinality, and fast feedback loops that allow them to ask exploratory open-ended questions of their code. But instrumentation is costly, and from the dawn of software, developers have tried to do the most possible with the least amount of resources.

The hidden cost of scaling ecommerce on hyperscalers

Key takeaway: Hyperscaler pricing models often penalize e-commerce growth due to unpredictable egress fees and unbounded auto-scaling, but moving to a resource-based allocation model allows teams to treat infrastructure costs as a deliberate business decision rather than a post-campaign surprise. Ecommerce traffic doesn't grow linearly. It spikes, and every spike rewrites your cloud bill.

Your AI Agents Are Only As Good As Your Data | Harness Blog

Every agent demo follows the same arc. The agent calls an API. A deployment triggers. A ticket gets created. The audience is impressed. Then someone asks a real question: "Which regions had the highest order failure rate this quarter, and are any of them linked to vendor SLA breaches?" That question crosses four entity types — orders, fulfillment records, vendors, SLA contracts.

Building Governance, Auditability, and Visibility into Database DevOps | Harness Blog

Database changes are inherently complex: coordinating schema updates, managing risk, and avoiding downtime all require care. Even when teams improve how they deliver those changes, governance often remains inconsistent, manual, and reactive. In many environments, governance is treated as a separate layer around deployment. Policies are applied unevenly, approvals become bottlenecks, and audit evidence is assembled after the fact, creating gaps in enforcement and increasing operational risk.

Top 6 AI SRE Tools and Why Runtime-Grounded Reliability Is the New Standard

AI SRE tools accelerate incident detection, root cause analysis, and remediation across distributed production systems. They ingest telemetry signals, including logs, metrics, traces, alerts, and deployment history, to correlate anomalies, narrow fault domains, and reduce manual triage. This guide breaks down the top AI SRE tools in 2026 and helps you choose the right one based on your team’s biggest bottleneck, whether that is faster triage, deeper root cause analysis, or runtime-level validation.

Why Fast Charging Matters More Than Ever When Choosing a Smartphone

A few years ago, battery life was the only charging-related spec most people cared about. Today, that is no longer enough. Even if a phone lasts all day, many users still want the confidence of knowing they can top it up quickly before leaving home, heading to work, or catching a train. That is why fast charging has become one of the most practical features to compare when buying a smartphone.

Top causes of chemical pump failures and how to prevent them

Spotting the early signs of failure in your chemical pump, storage and pipework systems is key to preventing pump catastrophes of all kinds. Pump failure doesn't just happen overnight; there are always warning signs that shouldn't be ignored. If caught early, you can prevent any costly repairs, minimise downtime of machinery and plant, and avoid accidents or injuries.

New Custom Dashboards: Metrics, Logs, Live Commands, and More in a Single View

Custom dashboards in Netdata have always let you pull charts together on-the-fly into a single view. That’s useful, but it’s also limited. In practice, when you’re running an incident or reviewing a service, you don’t just want charts. You want to see the output of top alongside your CPU metrics. You want slow query logs next to your database latency charts.
