Autonomous K8s Optimization Involves Both Compute and Storage Resources - Are You Doing Both?

One of the most powerful capabilities in K8s is the ability to autoscale resources to meet demands, scaling resources up during peak periods to ensure performance, and down again during lower periods to save money. In this joint session, Lucidity and Kubex walk through what end-to-end K8s optimization looks like when you address both layers together. We cover: Expect real examples, not slides full of theory. You’ll leave with a clear picture of where waste is hiding in your environment and a prioritized approach to addressing it.

Decoding design: How design and engineering thrive together in open source

Open source thrives on engineering-driven processes. Fast feedback loops, terminal tools, Git workflows: they’re the lifeblood of how we build software in the open. But for software to truly excel, we need to create user experiences that empower people to use them. I wanted to bring this conversation into the spotlight as part of Canonical’s Open Design initiatives. What better way than at FOSS Backstage 2026 Berlin?

AI Won't Replace You. Someone Using It Will.

AI isn’t about replacing engineers. It’s about leverage. The teams that win will be the ones that: Triage incidents faster Correlate signals automatically Reduce manual investigation Automate repetitive operational work In observability, that means asking: AI won’t eliminate expertise, it amplifies it. The real risk isn’t AI taking your job. It’s competitors using AI to operate at a speed and efficiency you can’t match.

Teamwork Collection: Built for the Next Era of Teamwork

Your team's best ideas shouldn't get lost between the doc, the ticket, and the meeting recording — but that's exactly what happens when AI lives outside your workflow. Teamwork Collection by Atlassian puts AI agents and your team on the same page — literally. Ideas flow to execution, agents pull context from your actual projects, and the line between "human work" and "AI work" starts to disappear.

Devart Brings AI Agents Closer to Enterprise Data with New MCP Server Product Line

We are excited to announce the release of the brand new line of MCP Servers (Model Context Protocol), designed to connect AI assistants, AI agents, and large language models directly to enterprise databases and cloud business platforms. The release includes 19 specialized MCP Servers and the flagship Universal MCP Server, which enables AI access to virtually any data source through the ODBC standard.

From Watching AI Search to Engineering for It: What Q1 2026 Taught Us About Real Digital Demand

Last year, I wrote about how AI-driven search trends reshaped my digital marketing strategy in ways I hadn’t seen in two decades. At the time, the story was mostly observational: traffic patterns were changing, conversions were holding, and AI-generated search answers were clearly influencing buyer behavior. Fast-forward to the first quarter of 2026, and one thing is clear — this shift didn’t slow down; it accelerated.

Self-host AI on Kubernetes: GPU clusters, private models, and the GitOps Catalog

Spin up a GPU workload cluster using Konstruct's new GPU cluster templates, deploy a self-hosted LLM, and use it in your organization — all live on stream. This hands-on session shows how shipping AI workloads to GPU clusters is just as easy as deploying to Konstruct physical or virtual clusters, and how open source apps in the GitOps Catalog make it even faster. Walk away knowing how to cut your token spend by running models privately on your own infrastructure.
