Librato on Heroku is Going Away and Hosted Graphite Is the Better Next Step

Aug 1, 2025 By Benjamin Pitts In MetricFire
Librato (a SolarWinds product) is being sunsetted summer of 2025, and that directly affects Heroku teams who’ve relied on the Librato add-on for “good enough” visibility into dynos, routers, and Postgres. If you’re in that group, you’ll need a replacement monitoring add-on that keeps you covered on Heroku and lets you grow beyond it without re-architecting how you ship metrics.

Jaeger Monitoring: Essential Metrics and Alerting for Production Tracing Systems

Aug 1, 2025 By Anjali Udasi In Last9
Your Jaeger setup is running. Traces are coming in, and the UI is helping you spot slow services or debug broken flows. But just like any part of your observability stack, Jaeger needs some basic monitoring to stay reliable. If the collector starts queueing spans or the agent runs out of buffer, it can lead to dropped traces, sometimes without any obvious sign in the UI. This blog focuses on the operational side of Jaeger.

Building your AI infra, our tips

Aug 1, 2025 By Canonical Ubuntu In Canonical
Modular architecture: Decouple compute from storage so each can scale independently. This makes it easier to adapt to growing or shifting workloads over time. Future-ready hardware: Select GPUs and CPUs not just for current workloads but with an eye on scalability, including support for newer accelerator types. Scalable design: Ensure the system allows seamless addition of compute nodes or storage without a full redesign.

Running AI without blowing up your storage

Aug 1, 2025 By Canonical Ubuntu In Canonical
Storage is often underestimated: In infrastructure discussions, compute and networking get most of the attention, while storage is treated as secondary. For AI workloads, that can be a costly oversight. Data throughput for specialized hardware: AI infrastructure powered by GPUs can process massive volumes of data at unprecedented speeds. This puts immense pressure on the storage system to keep up. Scale-out performance: An on-prem, scale-out, software-defined storage setup allows you to meet high performance demands, grow capacity as needed, and stay in control of infrastructure costs.

When AI Becomes the Judge: Understanding "LLM-as-a-Judge"

Jul 31, 2025 By Alin Dobra In Bunnyshell
Imagine building a chatbot or code generator that not only writes answers - but also grades them. In the past, ensuring AI quality meant recruiting human reviewers or using simple metrics (BLEU, ROUGE) that miss nuance. Today, we can leverage Generative AI itself to evaluate its own work. LLM-as-a-Judge means using one Large Language Model (LLM) - like GPT-4.1 or Claude 4 Sonnet/Opus - to assess the outputs of another. Instead of a human grader, we prompt an LLM to ask questions like "Is this answer correct?" or "Is it on-topic?" and return a score or label. This approach is automated, fast, and surprisingly effective.
