We’ve made another improvement to the StatusGator API based directly on customer feedback. Many teams are managing monitors programmatically, and one recurring request was the ability to fully manage monitor cleanup via API. You can now delete all monitor types through the API.

Third-party data now drives forecasting, analytics, and machine learning across modern cloud teams. But acquiring it has long meant custom contracts, delayed access, and limited visibility into how data costs scale inside analytics workflows. AWS Data Exchange reduces much of that friction by integrating third-party data into the AWS ecosystem.

For CIOs and technology leaders across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), full-stack observability is a strategic lever for achieving faster ROI, operational resilience, and digital maturity. By integrating AI-powered insights and automation, IT leaders can streamline operations and align technology outcomes with business goals. Demonstrating ROI within tight timelines is critical, as is leveraging observability to maintain competitive advantage in a rapidly evolving market.

At Grafana Labs, we are fully committed to the open source OpenTelemetry project and are actively engaged with the OTel community. Many Grafanistas spend a large proportion of their time contributing directly to OpenTelemetry upstream projects, helping make observability more powerful, reliable, and accessible for everyone as part of our big tent philosophy.

At the beginning of February, we released v3.1 of Refinery, our advanced, tail-based sampling solution. The new version comes with more performance enhancements, bug fixes, and a few new pieces of telemetry. In tandem with the 3.1 release, we also released a new tool for our MCP server which helps your AIs understand Refinery, and how Honeycomb handles sampling.

Modern IT operations sit at the center of revenue, customer experience, and business continuity. Every decision engineers make influences far more than the technical domain, which is why teams need intelligence they can validate, reasoning they can understand, and guidance they can rely on. In an environment shaped by rapid change and expanding dependencies, decisions must be grounded in accuracy and context to avoid unnecessary risk.

When you ship a Next.js app, the React and TypeScript you write aren’t what your users actually download. Next.js compiles, minifies, splits, and shuffles your code into chunks in ways that are great for performance and terrible for debugging. This post shows you how that pipeline works, how source maps and debug IDs connect it all back to your original code, and how to wire things up so Sentry shows you real file names and line numbers instead of an unreadable stack trace.

The Iron Man’s J.A.R.V.I.S. is the artificial intelligence (AI) that almost every person wants to see. A conversational technology that answers questions like a friend would. The rise of large language models (LLMs) almost seems to give people the friendly robotic sidekick that generations of children grew up dreaming about.
