DevAIOps: A Call To Action For The Heroes Among Us

The year is 2025, and I’ve been watching teams discover what happens when you give developers AI superpowers without giving them AI super-governance. It’s like the merchandising scene from Spaceballs: “Vibe Coding: The Flamethrower. The kids love this one.” But here’s the thing: I’m not here to take away the flamethrowers. I’m here to hand out fire extinguishers and maybe suggest we practice in a safe room instead of the living room.

Getting started with the relaxAI API: Sovereign, cost-effective AI

Earlier this year, we launched relaxAI, an AI assistant designed with one paramount focus: your privacy. We’re now excited to announce the relaxAI API is in General Availability (GA) offering an OpenAI interface. This gives UK organizations up to 90% cost savings versus leading providers while ensuring data never leaves UK jurisdiction.

Introducing the Cortex MCP Server

Cortex gives engineering teams full visibility and control over their services, from ownership and standards to service history and production readiness. Our goal is to help teams stay aligned and move faster so they are ready for whatever is ahead. The reality for any engineering team is that developers spend the most of their time in their IDE, not their IDP. And while developers love the context Cortex provides, they don’t love context switching.

New in OTel: Auto-Instrument Your Apps with the OTel Injector

This blog covers how the OTel Injector works, how it integrates with Linux environments, and how to set it up for consistent telemetry across your stack.

Why Your Loki Metrics Are Disappearing (And How to Fix It)

Grafana Loki is up and running, log ingestion looks healthy, and dashboards are rendering without issues. But when you query logs from a few weeks ago, the data's missing. This is a recurring problem for many teams using Loki in production: while the system handles short-term log visibility well, it often lacks the retention guarantees developers expect for historical analysis and incident review.

Disposable Code Is Here to Stay, but Durable Code Is What Runs the World

Every day I seem to run into yet another post with someone solemnly opining that “writing code has never been the hardest part of software engineering. And hey, that’s smashing. As an engineer from the ops/infra/SRE side of the house, I feel like I’ve been saying this my whole career. (Is there anything more satisfying than being proven right in public? Not in my book.) So, which is it?

Balancing Productivity with Presence: Rethinking Your Everyday Routine

Life is a whirlwind, isn't it? You wake up, jump into your tasks, and before you know it, the day's over, and you're left wondering if you truly lived it. We're constantly juggling to-do lists, deadlines, and that nagging feeling that there's always something more to do.
