Meet Paige, PagerDuty's SRE Agent: Faster Fixes Today, Fewer Incidents Tomorrow

Today, we’re introducing Paige, PagerDuty’s SRE Agent. Built on over 16 years of operational data, Paige works as a member of operations, engineering, and DevOps teams, coordinating signal intelligence, incident management, and automation. Paige learns from every incident, so every incident improves the next response. Each resolution is written back into shared memory, making every response sharper than the last.

Reliability in the AI Era: AI That Works the Incident With You

Being responsible for the reliability of services people count on every day isn’t easy. Customers expect everything to work, all the time, and when it doesn’t, someone has to answer for it. Whether you need to get yourself out of bed at 3 a.m. or step away from a family dinner, your job is to quickly diagnose the problem and fix it to ensure your operations get back up and running quickly before customers notice. But it doesn’t always go like that.

Bridging Alloy and OpenTelemetry: the OTel engine is now in Public Preview

Many Grafana Cloud customers love what Alloy offers them, but we're also seeing a growing base of users who feel the same way about the OpenTelemetry Collector. We want to make it easy for customers to make the decision that makes the most sense, regardless of their preference.

Trace linkage: connect the dots between your app traces and database queries

When an application request slows down, a trace can show a database call. Finding the database query behind it can be tedious, requiring you to switch between traces and database telemetry, as well as match timestamps or query text by hand. In Grafana Cloud, the Database Observability app already provides a window into all of your database telemetry, including query samples, performance history, and explain plan.

Notion AI pricing: the real per-seat math for an organization-wide rollout

Notion AI comes with the Business plan at $20 per member per month and with Enterprise at custom pricing, per Notion's pricing page; the standalone $10 add-on was retired in May 2025, and Free and Plus get a limited AI trial. Custom Agents add metered Notion credits at $10 per 1,000 monthly. Yearly billing saves up to 20%.

PostgreSQL in Redgate Monitor: configuration advice, backup monitoring, Windows support and AlloyDB

This release brings PostgreSQL monitoring in Redgate Monitor closer to what you already get for SQL Server. It adds backup monitoring and support for PostgreSQL on Windows, and AlloyDB joins the managed services we already cover.

MongoDB's Node Driver 7.8.0 Patches Two Real Security Issues

If your Node app talks to MongoDB through the official mongodb driver, 7.8.0 is worth upgrading to before your next routine dependency pass. It’s a minor version by the number, but it carries two security fixes, and one of them changes how a feature you may already be using behaves.

Dissecting Rails Migrations: Anatomy, Rollbacks, and Errors (Rails 8.1)

A Rails migration is a timestamped Ruby class inheriting from ActiveRecord::Migration whose change method alters the database schema. bin/rails db:migrate runs each pending migration once, records its version in the schema_migrations table, and dumps the result to db/schema.rb. Rollbacks invert change; irreversible steps need up and down. On PostgreSQL and SQLite, each migration runs inside a transaction.

How Intelligent Tech Website Design Streamlines IT Operations

In the modern enterprise, a company website is rarely just a digital brochure. It acts as the critical entry point for customer success workflows, support requests, and user onboarding. When digital architecture is treated solely as a marketing asset, it often leads to disjointed user experiences and operational bottlenecks for backend IT teams. Treating the front end as an operational tool changes this dynamic entirely. Investing in specialised Technology & SaaS Website Design ensures that web portals are built with intuitive self-service documentation, secure customer login areas, and seamless API integrations.
