ObservabilityCON 2025: A guide to all the announcements from Grafana Labs

Today at ObservabilityCON 2025 in London, we unveiled a number of exciting announcements and updates to Grafana Cloud that reimagine SaaS economics, simplify the complexity of running your observability stack at scale, and provide AI tooling that’s actually useful. (Root cause analysis via chatbot? Yes, please!) Check out the keynote to learn more about how we’re helping you do more with the open observability cloud, and read on for a quick recap of all the news from ObservabilityCON 2025.

AI-powered observability: Resolve incidents faster, reduce alert fatigue, and expand access

When an incident lands in your lap, you’ll often start with a lot of questions: Why is latency so high? What’s causing this outage? How much money are we losing at this very moment? The uncertainty—and the pressure to quickly find answers—has always been one of the more nerve wracking parts of being an on-call engineer, but it doesn’t have to be that way any more.

Maximize data value and cut costs: Adaptive Telemetry for metrics, logs, traces, and profiles in Grafana Cloud

When it comes to observability, more data doesn’t always mean more clarity. In fact, as telemetry volumes grow, it only becomes more difficult to discern the signals from the noise and to keep overall costs in check. This is exactly why we built Adaptive Telemetry, a suite of features in Grafana Cloud that analyzes how your telemetry is used and then automatically recommends actions like aggregating, sampling, dropping, or reducing low-value data.

Complete guide to OpenTelemetry Tracing (with code examples)

Distributed tracing is an essential technique for monitoring modern, cloud-native applications. It provides a holistic view of a request's entire journey as it propagates through a multi-service architecture, making it invaluable for performance optimization and root cause analysis. But how do you generate and collect this trace data in a standardized, vendor-agnostic way? That's where OpenTelemetry comes in.

Why IT School Students Have an Edge in Today's Competitive Job Market

Stepping into an IT school can completely change the direction of someone's career. In a market where technology shapes nearly every industry, specialized training gives students more than just technical knowledge-it gives them adaptability and confidence. I still remember my first semester walking into a computer lab filled with humming servers and half-built networks. The sense of being surrounded by real-world tools, not just textbooks, showed me right away that the program was about doing, not just learning theory.

Why a Cyber Fusion Center Is Essential for Cloud-First and Remote Work Environments

A cyber fusion center brings together security operations, threat intelligence, and incident response under one roof. Instead of teams working in silos, it encourages constant collaboration between analysts, engineers, and business units. This model shifts security from a reactive approach to a proactive one, anticipating risks before they spiral out of control.

Real Estate App Development for Ops & Product Teams: From MVP to Scale

In the competitive world of real estate technology, developing an app that can scale from a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) to a fully-fledged solution is crucial. For operations and product teams, this journey involves strategic planning and execution to ensure the app meets evolving market demands and user expectations.

Why ERP Implementation projects fail and how to avoid failures

ERP implementation is a strategic decision for any business. Organizations adopt ERP solutions to eliminate inefficiencies caused by disconnected systems, data silos, and a lack of actionable insights. When implemented effectively, ERP systems can significantly boost productivity. However, research from leading analysts indicates that over 70% of ERP implementation projects fail to meet timelines and budgets, while only 30% of digital transformation initiatives achieve their intended outcomes. In this blog, we'll explore the key reasons behind ERP implementation failures and how to avoid them.
