OBI: zero-code application tracing via eBPF, the Grafana Beyla successor

We look at how OBI differs from Hubble, Tetragon and Pyroscope, how it plugs into an OTel Collector you already run, and where zero-code instrumentation hits its ceiling.
KEDA: event-driven autoscaling, all the way to zero
KEDA scales pods by queue depth, a metric, or a schedule — not just CPU/RAM — and can scale all the way down to zero. ScaledObject, scalers for Kafka/RabbitMQ/Prometheus/cron, and the polling interval, activation-vs-scaling threshold, and cooldown gotchas.

AI SRE agents in 2026: what they actually do and where they break
AWS DevOps Agent and Azure SRE Agent both hit GA in March 2026. We break down the working model of AI SRE agents: what they actually do (triage, correlation, runbook execution), where they break, and how to build human-in-the-loop with approval gates so the agent stays a co-pilot instead of a new source of incidents.
