What is ServiceNow's AI Control Tower?

What happens when AI agents stop being scattered and start being steered? Customer service queues shrink, teams get time back for high-value work, and everyone finally works off the same data. That’s the power of the ServiceNow AI Control Tower—all your AI, all under control. No more fragmentation. No more busywork. Just visibility, control, and workflows that scale across the entire business.

Elephant in the Room, Episode 3: Building a CFP Review Platform with PostgreSQL & Django (Live)

In Episode 3 of Elephant in the Room, we move from theory to practice, building a real, community-focused application live on stream. Join Jay Miller (Aiven), Abigail Dogbe, and Andres Pineda as they collaboratively design and build a CFP (Call for Proposals) review platform using PostgreSQL and Django. The goal: create a practical tool that helps speakers get better feedback on their talks, and helps organizers discover new, diverse voices.

GitKraken Insights | Engineering Intelligence in Minutes

Most software intelligence tools take months to implement, cost a fortune, and end up collecting dust. GitKraken Insights is different. It helps engineering leaders measure what matters: AI impact, code quality, delivery performance, and developer experience, all in one place. It’s the latest evolution of the GitKraken DevEx platform, trusted by over 40 million developers. Insights connects data from across your GitKraken tools to give you a complete picture of engineering health and value. We're talking DORA metrics, pull request metrics, and AI impact.

MCP: Why AI Needs Git Intelligence

GitKraken CTO Eric Amodio breaks down the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and explains why Git intelligence is critical for AI agents at GitKon 2025. In this session, Eric covers: What MCP is and why every major AI company adopted it Why AI needs Git history, not just file system access How GitKraken MCP removes Git pain safely The future of agentic developer workflows How Commit Composer uses AI to organize commits without losing data.

How to Troubleshoot BGP Faster with Kentik AI Advisor

A BGP session goes down because a transit provider exceeded the maximum prefix limit. How do you find the root cause — fast? In this 10-minute demo, we walk through two approaches using Kentik AI Advisor. First, we troubleshoot step by step using natural language: asking AI Advisor to identify the affected interface, check for interface flapping, and review syslog messages until we find the maximum-prefix violation. Then we show how custom network context and natural language runbooks let AI Advisor do the entire investigation autonomously — following the same four steps a senior engineer would.

ChatOps that actually works: Grafana Cloud, Slack, and AI-powered observability

Context switching isn’t just inefficient—under pressure, it’s exhausting. It slows decision-making, increases the risk of mistakes, and makes even experienced engineers feel like they’re always a step behind the system they’re responsible for. At Grafana Labs, we want to build tools that meet you where you are. That's why we embedded Grafana Assistant, our context-aware AI assistant, directly in Grafana Cloud.

Measuring Claude Code ROI and Adoption in Honeycomb

At Honeycomb, we’ve been using Claude Code across our engineering team for a while. Anecdotally, I had a sense of who the power users were, and I had seen some examples of complex usage. But I wanted to be able to confidently answer questions, like: Claude Code supports OpenTelemetry out of the box, which means sending telemetry to Honeycomb takes just a few minutes of configuration.

AI Anomaly Detection: Catch AI Cost Surprises Before They Kill Margins

Consider this: traditional cloud cost monitoring was like checking your fuel gauge once a month — after the trip was already over. That model worked when infrastructure scaled slowly. You provisioned resources predictably and paid for stable, linear usage. AI breaks that model. Today, AI costs behave like a high-performance engine with a hypersensitive throttle. A small input, like a prompt change or a single power user, can dramatically increase your fuel burn in seconds.

An introduction to GPU time-slicing

GPUs are no longer a niche component. Gamers know them for immersive graphics, workstation users rely on them for balanced performance, and in the age of AI, GPUs have become one of the most in-demand resources in modern infrastructure. They are also expensive. That reality creates two immediate constraints, for individuals and enterprises alike: GPU-backed instances should be provisioned deliberately, and once provisioned, they should be used efficiently.
