FinOps KPIs for IT Infrastructure: A Practical Field Guide for Cost Visibility

May 27, 2026 By Kristy Slimmer In Galileo
Infrastructure cost visibility has become a critical part of IT decision-making. Performance still matters, but for many infrastructure leaders, that’s no longer the full conversation. Leadership teams increasingly want clarity around cost movement, upgrade exposure, underutilized resources, and whether infrastructure decisions are financially defensible. That creates a different requirement for operations teams: visibility that connects technical behavior to business impact.

Everything We Talked About at O11yCon 2026

May 27, 2026 By Ken Rimple In Honeycomb
We just wrapped O11yCon 2026, and this year's conversations hit differently. Agent-based software development is here, now. It's no longer an optional choice, and everybody is struggling to understand what their agents are doing and how to make them cost less and perform better. Over the course of fifteen talks, we saw clearly that the old assumptions on how and who (or what) writes our software has been upended. Here are some highlights. We'll have videos available in the near future.

You don't need to pick one: how Sentry and OpenTelemetry work together

May 27, 2026 By Lazar Nikolov In Sentry
You already instrumented the backend with OpenTelemetry. Your services emit spans. Your teams know the OTel APIs. Maybe you already run a Collector. So when you start evaluating Sentry, the obvious question is: Do you need to replace your OpenTelemetry setup with the Sentry SDK? No. The practical answer is usually: keep OpenTelemetry where it already works, add the Sentry SDK where it gives you more application context, and send OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) events to Sentry.

Investigate funnel drop-offs with Product Analytics

May 27, 2026 By Datadog In Datadog
For most product teams, funnels are a staple of the analytics toolkit despite a frustrating limitation. You can see which step users are dropping off at, but understanding why requires hours of manual slicing across segments, separate comparison views, and a lot of trial and error before you land on a useful hypothesis. And even when you find something meaningful, taking action typically means jumping to another tool, building a new segment, or filing a request with a data team.
