Introducing Aiven AI Gateway

At home I run fully automated coding loops on a few side projects. They use more than 100-million tokens a day. At Claude Opus 5.5 prices, that costs more than $5,300 a month. For hobby projects. The same usage on DeepSeek V4.1 Flash cost about $330 a month, one sixteenth of the price. If we want to keep scaling how much we use AI, most of those tokens have to run on open models, period.

Coverage-first or cost-first: two ways to automatically apply Adaptive Metrics' recommendations

Adaptive Metrics , which is part of the Adaptive Telemetry suite, looks at how your metrics are actually used and recommends how much detail you should keep for each metric. This helps you cut costs while still retaining the data you actually need. Last year we added auto-apply capabilities that let you implement those recommendations automatically, but only with coverage-first behavior, maximizing coverage of whatever you're querying.

DNS Monitoring: What to Track and Where to Watch It From

DNS monitoring asks your name servers the same question on a timer and checks the answer that comes back. Most teams aim it at their public domain and stop there. That covers half the problem. Your public domain and your internal resolver fail in different ways. A check from outside the building never sees the second one. In this blog, you'll see: By the end you'll know which half of your DNS nobody is watching. A DNS check sends a query and reads the reply. The reply can fail three ways.

What's New in Motadata 8.2.9 as ObserveOps Expands Database, Streaming and Network Coverage

How often does a lagging replica or a bad network link reach users before your monitoring flags it? The problem grows when every layer has its own tool. Warning signs then show up in different places, often too late to act on. Motadata 8.2.9 came out on October 5, 2026, with eight updates to Motadata ObserveOps. Four of them focus on the network. The other four deal with databases, data streaming, alerting and SEBI compliance reporting. A few add support for technologies Motadata did not cover before.

How to Build an Office Network That Can Handle Business Growth

A video call freezes mid-sentence. Just for a second. Everyone waits, then carries on as if nothing happened. A week later, a new hire cannot get her laptop online in the small meeting room. She tries the next room. It works there. Nobody calls it a network problem. Not yet. It is just one of those things. Then it adds up. Two more people join. Someone plugs a printer into whatever port was free. The guest WiFi quietly starts carrying half the office because the main network keeps dropping. None of this was planned. It drifted.
