VictoriaMetrics at KubeCon Amsterdam: Community Highlights
KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe in Amsterdam brought together about 13,500 attendees this year, the largest turnout yet. The size of the event showed just how much the cloud-native space has grown, and how central observability, platform engineering, and cost control have become. For VictoriaMetrics, this year’s event was a mix of talks, booth conversations, and a lot of direct feedback from users.
Take Control of Cloud Costs with Proactive Budget Alerts
Proactive budget alerts turn cloud cost optimization into an everyday operational practice. If you are responsible for managing cloud infrastructure, you already know the pattern. Costs creep up quietly, and by the time anyone notices, it is the end of the month and you are explaining instead of preventing overruns. According to Flexera’s 2026 State of the Cloud Report, 85% of their respondents say managing cloud costs is their number one priority for the year.
Why Your PromQL Availability Query Returns Nothing When Services Are Healthy
Your SLI query shows 100% availability as No Data. Here's why PromQL returns empty results instead of zero — and the label-preserving fix. Prathamesh works as an evangelist at Last9, runs SRE stories - where SRE and DevOps folks share their stories, and maintains o11y.wiki - a glossary of all terms related to observability.
How Recurring Instability Turns into Clinical Trial Delays
In pharma, reliability becomes an operational priority because research and trial work depend on systems performing consistently across different teams, locations, and conditions. Much of that work sits inside scientific workflows, remote sessions, and compute-heavy environments where behaviour can shift with configuration or load. When that consistency starts to break down, teams keep moving, but time is lost in small increments across the day.
When agents orchestrate agents, who's watching?
You used to monitor services. Then you started monitoring AI calls inside services. Now your AI agent is spinning up other AI agents to complete tasks. Your old monitoring instincts need to evolve. This isn't hypothetical. Agentic architectures are already in production. Coding agents are calling search agents; orchestrators are spawning specialized sub-agents for retrieval, planning, and execution. Teams are shipping these systems faster than they're figuring out how to watch them.
Observability Focus: Why It Became the Default Language of Modern IT Operations
Digital services run on fragile highways of microservices, containers, and event streams. Outages no longer hide inside a single server rack; they ripple across regions and ruin brand trust in minutes. Because uninterrupted insight now decides whether a launch soars or stalls, engineers treat observability as the vocabulary for every architectural choice, deployment ritual, and post-incident review. Similar discipline emerges in studios that refine professional end-to-end game dev workflows, where frame drops and lag spikes receive the same diagnostic rigor expected of banking APIs.
AWS Outage History: What Engineering Teams Should Learn
If you've been running production workloads on AWS for more than a year, you've felt it: the 3 am PagerDuty alert, the scramble to check the AWS console, the frantic Slack thread asking, "Is this us or is this AWS?" And then, minutes or hours later, the AWS Service Health Dashboard finally acknowledges what your users have been experiencing all along. It happens because AWS is the backbone of modern infrastructure.

DataPrime at Ingest: Fine-Grained TCO Routing with DPXL
The real economic decision for observability happens at ingest, before storage, billing, and retention choices are locked-in. Until now, the logic governing that decision could only see three broad fields: application, subsystem, and severity. That just changed. TCO routing now matches on any field in the event payload, including nested keys, custom fields, and event body content, using DPXL, the DataPrime Expression Language.
