Hey Elixir friends, great news! Honeybadger now offers performance monitoring for your Elixir, Phoenix, and Oban applications. Last year, we launched Honeybadger Insights, a new logging and performance monitoring tool bundled with Honeybadger. Insights allows you to query your logs and events to diagnose performance issues, perform root-cause analyses, and create charts and dashboards to see what's happening in real time.

AI is a hot topic right now, but it’s only valuable when it drives action. The real goal is business intelligence—insight that’s timely, trustworthy, and tied to decisions that move the business forward.

Let’s be real, Prometheus and Grafana are great tools. They’ve earned their place in enterprise IT by offering solid infrastructure monitoring and visualization. But in complex, multi-middleware environments, these tools hit their limits. Picture this: a business-critical transaction is delayed or missing. Dashboards look fine. CPU and memory are stable. But something still feels off.

Learn how to reduce cloud costs without sacrificing performance by integrating Latitude.sh's compute, Wasabi's storage, and Megaport's private network into your multicloud architecture. IT teams are under increasing pressure to reduce costs without sacrificing performance or scalability in their cloud infrastructure. I’ve had several customers bring up a need for reducing compute cost and storage costs, the need for custom hardware specs, and the like.

Retail Media Networks are no longer an experimental channel for digital advertisers. They have become an integral part of closed-loop marketing, enabling brands to leverage first-party consumer data for precise audience targeting. In 2025, US retail media ad spending is projected to reach approximately $62.4 billion, marking a significant increase from the previous year. This growth reflects the sector's continued momentum, with eMarketer expecting a 20% increase in allocations by U.S. advertisers.

To manage today’s complex and distributed data center environments, data center professionals need more than spreadsheets, static diagrams, and siloed monitoring tools. They need a real-time and interactive view of their infrastructure, a data center digital twin. Modern Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) software makes this possible. Far beyond basic monitoring or asset tracking, DCIM software delivers a true digital twin.

"Imagine spending hours manually sifting through error logs, trying to pinpoint the root cause of a critical issue. This is a common challenge in software development." This is a problem that many engineers experience today and this process can be greatly improved an automated using AI agents. These AI agents will require as much context about the issue or problem as possible to be effective and have any opportunity to help improve this process.

How to approach the most significant customer-facing business process.

Enterprise Policy Management (EPM) is a programmable policy-as-code layer that controls the security, compliance, and flow of artifacts across the software supply chain. Teams can codify rules once and apply them continuously across repositories. With Cloudsmith’s platform, organizations extend policy enforcement across teams, environments, and geographies without introducing friction, including the open source packages that the chain depends on.
