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.

The reason why I like writing recap articles is because AIs don’t have enough context to write them for us. You have to be there, in person, listen to sessions, interact in the hallways with the community, and absorb as much new knowledge as possible. That’s what I did last week in Amsterdam at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe ‘26. Well, at least I tried to. Let me break down what I consider the most interesting topics were last week.

RSAC 2026 Conference is right around the corner, and we're unveiling new security capabilities at Booth N-5285. Book a 15-minute slot if you want an in-person walkthrough!

Today, Bindplane is launching the OpAMP Gateway Extension in alpha — a new component that extends OpAMP fleet management into network-segmented and firewalled environments where direct agent-to-server connectivity is not possible. It also addresses fleet scaling by fanning many agent connections into a small upstream pool, reducing connection load on the OpAMP server. We also hope to donate the OpAMP Gateway Extension upstream to the OpenTelemetry project and welcome community contributions.

I was looking at our Claude Code spend in the Anthropic console the other day. Aggregate cost, aggregate tokens — no breakdown by developer, no breakdown by session. I knew my Hackathon team had been using it heavily on building out new features for the OpenTelemetry Distro Builder. But heavily how? I had no idea. Turns out Claude Code has been emitting OpenTelemetry signals the whole time. Per-session cost, token counts, every tool call it makes on your codebase.

We’re excited to announce new native Bindplane destinations for the VictoriaMetrics ecosystem. It’s now easier to collect, process, and route OpenTelemetry metrics, traces, and logs at scale. You can directly connect VictoriaMetrics’ high-performance storage engines to Bindplane’s vendor-neutral, OpenTelemetry-native telemetry pipeline.

We've just released new and easy-to-use Bindplane blueprints designed specifically for Elasticsearch as a destination. These blueprints empower teams to quickly transform raw events such as those from NGINX access and error logs into clean, structured, and ECS-compliant data optimized for high-performance visualization in Kibana.
