VictoriaMetrics at KubeCon: Optimizing Tail Sampling in OpenTelemetry with Retroactive Sampling

Apr 16, 2026 By Zhu Jiekun In VictoriaMetrics
Last month, the VictoriaMetrics team gave a talk on retroactive sampling at KubeCon Europe 2026. By writing this blog post, as a transcript of the session, we want to explain how retroactive sampling reduces outbound traffic, CPU, and memory usage in the data collection pipeline significantly compared to tail sampling in OpenTelemetry.

Smarter Alert Management: Test on Historical Data, Review Transitions, and Preview Silencing Schedules

Apr 16, 2026 By Shyam Sreevalsan In netdata
Alert fatigue usually isn’t caused by one thing. It’s the accumulation of thresholds that are slightly too sensitive, alerts that fire during known maintenance windows, and historical patterns that nobody has the tools to review easily. Fixing it requires better visibility into how alerts actually behave over time, and a way to test changes before they hit production. We’ve shipped three improvements to alerting in Netdata that address different parts of this problem.

Faster code doesn't mean faster delivery

Apr 16, 2026 By Cortex In Cortex
Software development has never moved this fast. JetBrains' 2026 AI Pulse Survey found that 90% of developers now use at least one AI tool at work. CircleCI's 2026 State of Software Delivery report, covering 28 million workflows across 22,000 organizations, found that daily CI workflow runs jumped 59% year over year, the largest single increase they've ever recorded. In that same period, CI success rates dropped to a five-year low.

Deployed Is Not the Same as Ready: How Mature Is Your Kubernetes Environment?

Apr 16, 2026 By Veronika Smolik In Tigera
Kubernetes adoption is no longer the challenge it once was. More than 82% of enterprises run containers in production, most of them on multiple Kubernetes clusters. Adoption, however, does not mean operational maturity. These are two very different things. It is one thing to deploy workloads to a cluster or two and quite another to do it securely, efficiently and at scale. This distinction matters because the gap between adoption and Kubernetes operational maturity is where risk accumulates.

Your Developers Feel More Productive. Your Codebase Disagrees.

Apr 16, 2026 By GitKraken In GitKraken
AI adoption is up. Developer confidence is up. So why is code duplication up 10x since 2022? GitKraken VP of Developer Research Jeremy Castile shares the frameworks we built after analyzing 211 million lines of code and talking to hundreds of engineering teams. This is the playbook version of the research — practical, not theoretical. In this session, you'll learn: The gap between how productive developers feel and what's actually happening in the codebase is real. If you can't measure it, you're just guessing. Nobody wants to be guessing with this stuff.

CircleCI is now available as a Codex plugin

Apr 16, 2026 By Jacob Schmitt In CircleCI
CircleCI is part of the latest wave of Codex plugin integrations, joining the directory alongside other popular development tools like Vercel, Cloudflare, Figma, Notion, Sentry, Hugging Face, Linear, and more. If you’re using Codex, you already know that writing code is rarely the hardest part of your job. It’s the delays, interruptions, and context switching that start when that code breaks on its way to production. The CircleCI Codex plugin closes that gap.
