For today's modern businesses, the data landscape demands security and flexibility. You need to connect your observability platform to rich, proprietary datasets that often reside in private networks without compromising security or managing complex network infrastructure. You may also face an extra layer of complexity in order to effectively query and visualize that data. Luckily, modern artificial intelligence tools have made these previously complicated processes much simpler.

We’ve been quietly solving a problem that most teams haven’t hit yet, but they’re about to. SSL certificate lifetimes are dropping to 47 days. If you’re managing certificates manually today, you have a very short window before that becomes a real operational problem. We know, because it happened to us first.

Announcing Progress WhatsUp Gold 2026.0 Modern networks are more complex and more exposed than ever. From hybrid infrastructure and distributed devices to expiring certificates and tightened security requirements, network and IT teams are under constant pressure to keep everything running smoothly while reducing risk. Progress WhatsUp Gold 2026.0 is built for that reality.

Our Q1 momentum has been focused on a simple goal: making InfluxDB easier to operate, easier to scale, and faster to put to work. Across Telegraf, InfluxDB 3, and our managed offerings, these updates reduce friction in how teams collect, process, and scale time series workloads.

Today, we’re announcing that Dynatrace has signed an agreement to acquire Bindplane. The transaction is expected to close later this month, subject to customary closing conditions. This is an exciting step forward for our team. We’ll keep building, shipping, and supporting our customers and partners the same way we always have.

Over the past few months, we’ve been making the Kentik platform easier to use and more actionable, with AI increasingly at the center of how teams interact with it. AI Advisor sits near the middle of a lot of that progress, but this is not only an AI story.

Apache Kafka partition count isn't just a number—it defines parallelism, ordering, and operational complexity. Learn the formula to balance throughput requirements with maintenance costs, avoid common anti-patterns, and find your 'Goldilocks' number for production-ready performance.

In 2026, I think it’s safe to say that most mobile devices in enterprise organizations aren’t purchased just for their ability to make calls. And for millions of employees, especially frontline workers, their primary device isn’t even a laptop anymore - it’s a smartphone or tablet. Yet, mobile device insights have largely remained a blind spot for IT.

TL;DR: Customer Zero proves a unified observability model—ingest → detect → investigate → automate response—on a single platform for faster, end-to-end operations.
