VictoriaMetrics at FOSDEM, Cloud Native Days France, and CfgMgmtCamp Ghent

Feb 11, 2026 By Diana Todea In VictoriaMetrics
Last week, members of the VictoriaMetrics team, including myself, spoke at three very different but equally important community events: FOSDEM in Brussels, Cloud Native Days France in Paris, and CfgMgmtCamp in Ghent. Each event drew a different crowd with its own expectations, making them a good way to see where open source observability stands today and how VictoriaMetrics is adapting to real-world needs. The talks we gave were snapshots of the problems we are actively working on.

How to run checks on internal services with Grafana Cloud Synthetic Monitoring

Feb 11, 2026 By Bukola Ayodele In Grafana
Many critical services run inside private networks, where traditional monitoring tools and practices can’t offer full visibility. This makes it difficult to validate service availability and performance before problems impact your users. Synthetic Monitoring — a Grafana Cloud solution that helps you proactively monitor the performance of your applications and services — addresses this gap with a feature known as private probes.

Unit Testing in CI/CD: How to Accelerate Builds Without Sacrificing Quality | Harness Blog

Feb 11, 2026 By Chinmay Gaikwad In Harness
Smart test selection, parallel test runs, and intelligent caching can all speed up builds without sacrificing code quality. Fast, focused, and separate unit tests are very important for quick development. They give you feedback right away and make it easier to refactor with confidence. Unit tests are a quick and cheap way to find logic errors, but they can't check how different parts work together. For full coverage, use them with integration tests and end-to-end tests.

What is DEX Ops?

Feb 11, 2026 By Megan Brake In Nexthink
For decades, IT operations have been built around incidents, SLAs, and ticket closure rates. Success has been defined by how quickly tickets are resolved and whether service levels are met. But the modern digital workplace has changed. Employee productivity, digital adoption, collaboration quality, and business performance depend on far more than ticket metrics. A device that “works” but performs poorly still erodes productivity.
