Why teams running real enterprise AI workloads are quietly migrating from vector databases to knowledge graphs — and what it means for cost, latency, and model size.

GPU teams usually face a bad trade-off. Give every team its own Kubernetes cluster and you pay for a control plane per team. Put everyone in one shared cluster and you get weak isolation. Either…
Turn on an AI coding agent’s telemetry and it throws a wall of text at you. It’s expensive to store and what’s worse, you can’t make sense of it. It’s all OpenTelemetry native, though. So you...
You're investigating checkout errors when someone asks who's coordinating the incident. Support needs an update, and another responder is looking for the runbook. You stop what you're doing to get…

Most teams have telemetry from across their stack, but connecting those signals to understand what's happening and how it affects users isn't always easy. Critical context about service…
Teams often spend as much time preparing information as discussing it: gathering charts, checking business reports, and finding the GitHub activity that explains a change. Every follow-up question…
Today at ObservabilityCON 2026 in San Francisco, we unveiled a range of new Grafana Cloud capabilities designed to reshape cloud economics, bring richer context and deeper visibility across your…
In the AI era, where telemetry is generated by every model call, tool invocation, and agent step, organizations need more help than ever when it comes to navigating the economics of observability.…
You've just finished a deployment, and though your service is up, you start to notice some requests are getting slower. To address the lag, someone—or, more likely, some group of people on your…
When you ask Grafana Assistant to build a dashboard or investigate an alert, you're doing so because there's work to be done. To do that work effectively, you need the right data, changes you can…
Kubernetes has quietly run much of the world’s containerized software on a division of labor between two control loops that rarely had to talk to each other. The scheduler places each pod on a node…
