Every technology cycle comes with hype, backlash, and eventually… utility. AI is shaping up to be no different. As we head into 2026, the conversation is already shifting from “AI will replace everything” to “why isn’t this paying off yet?” This shift is heavily influenced by evolving market trends, as businesses and technologists respond to changes in customer behavior, operational patterns, and broader market conditions that shape expectations around AI.

Let’s rewind and see our 2025 highlights.

We’re excited to announce dotConnect 2025.1, a major update that brings full support for the newest versions of.NET and Visual Studio.

Our annual Observability Survey provides some great insights on the state of industry and all things observability. And for the third edition of the survey, published last March, we wanted to bring the results into a Grafana dashboard—not just because we could, but because it was quite a nice way to interact with the data. After all, Grafana isn't just for IT observability. You can use it to monitor everything from BI data to lunar landings to pet pythons—and now, survey data.
