What you missed at OTel Unplugged 2026 in 8 minutes!
OTel Unplugged 2026 was different by design. Held alongside FOSDEM in Brussels, this was an unconference built by the OpenTelemetry community, for the community. No sales pitches. No product demos. Just honest conversations about what’s working, what’s broken, and where OTel needs to go next. In this recap, you’ll hear short interviews and reflections from engineers, maintainers, and practitioners on.
How to Use Pandas Time Index: A Tutorial with Examples
Time series data is everywhere in modern analytics, from stock prices and sensor readings to web traffic and financial transactions. When working with temporal data in Python, pandas provides powerful tools for handling time-based indexing through its DatetimeIndex functionality. This tutorial will guide you through creating, manipulating, and extracting insights from pandas time indexes with practical examples.
Heartbeat behind the metrics | Raghavan on building Site24x7
How do you build an observability platform that keeps up with constant change? In this episode of Heartbeat Behind the Metrics, Srinivasa Raghavan Santhanam, Director of Product Management at Site24x7, reflects on more than 15 years with the product and what he sees as its quiet strengths. He talks about GenAI as a hidden gem inside Site24x7, and you'll hear a standout customer story where a large Indian enterprise replaced 12 different tools with Site24x7, consolidating everything into a single platform. For him, that moment confirmed the platform’s ability to solve multiple problems at scale.
What Is Alert Noise Reduction? Techniques & Tools
Modern IT environments are noisy. The sheer volume of telemetry data coming forth every second from microservices, hybrid clouds, and containerized applications is just extraordinary. In IT Operations, NOC teams, and Site Reliability Engineers (SREs), this data is crucial, but only if it can be acted upon. When it’s not like this, everything becomes a background noise.
Beyond a Billion Spans: Using Highlights for High-Speed Root Cause Analysis at Scale
In late 2025, we introduced Trace Highlight Comparison. This capability was designed to solve the problem of having too many spans. This causes technical and financial challenges when identifying performance patterns within high-volume telemetry streams. The goal is to avoid massive indexing costs and eliminate the ingestion latency associated with indexing every record. However, knowing these trends is only half the battle.
How Honeycomb Supercharges OpenTelemetry for AI
It has become common knowledge that the nature of software development has changed as AI-code generation and agent-based features gain adoption. In perhaps a more subtle shift, the fundamentals of software instrumentation are changing too. As OpenTelemetry becomes the standard instrumentation layer across enterprises, with thousands of developers (many from Honeycomb) actively contributing to it, the nature of the telemetry data captured itself is evolving to meet the growing demand for rich context.

Understanding Lighthouse: First Meaningful Paint
You’re reading an old performance article, and it keeps talking about “First Meaningful Paint.” You search for how to improve it, but every tool gives you different advice. Some don’t mention it at all. What’s going on? Here’s the short answer: First Meaningful Paint is dead. Google deprecated it in Lighthouse 6.0 back in 2020 and removed it completely in Lighthouse 13. If you’re still trying to optimize for FMP, you’re chasing a ghost.
Kiro Can Now Reason With Lightrun's Live Runtime Context
AI code generation is fast. Making it reliable requires runtime context. Today, Kiro gains live runtime visibility with the Lightrun MCP. This grounds AI-assisted development in how code actually behaves at runtime. Kiro, the AI coding assistant from the teams at AWS, is built for velocity and intuition. It moves from specification to production with speed and structure, helping teams turn intent into working code. But until now, like every AI coding assistant, Kiro had a major blind spot.
