We’re excited to share that Honeycomb has completed our first-ever acquisition: we’re joining forces with Grit, bringing on board not only a strong team, but also compelling technology that supercharges our ability to deliver on our mission: to bring observability to every software engineer. This is a strategic move that will help us deepen the value we deliver to customers and accelerate our vision for what modern observability can and should be.

It started with promise: deploy a chatbot, cut service desk costs, and deliver instant support to employees anytime, anywhere. And many large organizations bought in. But several years into this so-called “chatbot revolution,” the results tell a different story—one of inflated expectations and underwhelming outcomes. It’s time to face a hard truth: AI that only talks is no longer enough.

Written by author, adapted by AI GitKraken Desktop 11.0 is here, and it’s more than just a version bump. We’re introducing AI-powered features designed to accompany your workflow and help you stay focused on what matters most. It’s changed how I approach commits, and I’m sure it will help y’all too!

Enterprises lose millions annually due to API outages and performance degradation. Modern observability strategies are crucial to mitigate these risks. Today, almost every system is dependent on APIs. Data integration, authentication, payment processing, and many other functions rely on multiple reliable and performant APIs. Banks around the world, for example, have adopted the Open Banking API for payments, credit scoring, lending origination, fraud detection, and lots more.

A well-crafted status page helps you build trust, reduce support tickets, and keep stakeholders informed in real time. But with so many tools available, which one should you choose? We’ve rounded up the top 10 status page tools — from legacy platforms to modern, dev-first options. Let’s dive in!

The pace of software development has changed. With AI coding assistants now embedded into engineering workflows, developers are building faster, shipping sooner, and writing more code than ever before. But as velocity increases, so does the complexity of keeping that code running. When builds fail, developers need answers fast. They need clarity, context, and actionable feedback right where they’re working.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the way we address real-world challenges, from fraud detection and customer service optimization to groundbreaking healthcare research and treatment. At the core of these advancements lies robust data center infrastructure.

Software for Open Networking in the Cloud (SONiC) is an open-source network operating system that has revolutionized data center networking. Originating as a Microsoft-led initiative in the Open Compute Project (OCP) in 2016, SONiC has rapidly gained traction among hyperscalers and switch hardware vendors, including Broadcom, Cisco, and NVIDIA. By building its services using containerized microservices, SONiC brings flexibility, scalability, and modularity to network infrastructure.
