Feb 10, 2026 By Ksenia Yadav In Grafana
Some questions in engineering never go away. Here’s one that every team eventually confronts: Do we roll up our sleeves and build the tooling ourselves, or do we buy something built for us? It’s a choice that has the power to speed teams up or hold them back. With the rise of AI-powered observability, this familiar software dilemma has re-emerged with higher stakes and faster-moving technology.

SRE Report: AI optimism and the economics of effort

Feb 10, 2026 By Denton Chikura In Catchpoint
For eight years, the survey behind the SRE Report has used a consistent methodology. That consistency allows us to track how reliability work evolves over time, rather than relying on snapshots. One of the most stable questions in the survey asks respondents to estimate how much of their work, on average, is spent on toil. Between 2020 and 2024, responses showed a gradual decline in reported toil.

Many organizations approach Autonomous IT with the assumption that adding more tools, more data, or more automation will eventually produce self-governing operations. This assumption creates the illusion of progress. Complexity does not resolve itself when new systems are layered on top of existing ones. In most environments, each new tool adds another interpretation of the truth, which compounds the cognitive load on teams and forces more reconciliation, not less.

Feb 10, 2026 By Aiswarya S In Atatus
Splunk isn't bad software. It's genuinely powerful. But in 2026, a lot of engineering teams are asking a fair question: are we getting $300K worth of value out of this? More often than not, the answer is no. We went through 15 alternatives - read the docs, tested where we could, and talked to engineers who made the switch. This is what we found.
