This month, we’re thrilled to see OpenAI using the VictoriaMetrics Stack internally — including VictoriaMetrics, VictoriaLogs, and VictoriaTraces — in their Harness engineering experiment, as shown in their architecture diagram. It’s a great way of combining observability and AI agents.

As we gear up for Grafana 13, the next major release of the open source data visualization platform that we’ll announce at GrafanaCON this April, our engineering team is still shipping some powerful new features along the way. Case in point: Grafana 12.4 is officially here, and there’s a lot to be excited about. The latest minor release includes a ton of updates that help you build and design dashboards faster than ever, as well as manage and scale those dashboards seamlessly over time.

AI coding assistants are transforming how developers write software. Tools like Windsurf can generate entire modules, refactor complex code, and fix bugs in seconds. But speed comes with a tradeoff: AI-generated code can introduce subtle bugs, security vulnerabilities, or breaking changes that slip past even experienced developers. That’s where continuous integration comes in. CI acts as a safety net, automatically testing every change before it reaches production.
