Kubernetes Teams Get a Safer Way to See Their Own GPU Metrics
Adobe engineers have described an open-source approach for giving teams self-service access to their own Prometheus metrics in multi-tenant Kubernetes environments, without exposing the shared metrics of other teams.

Building an Internal Developer Platform with Artificial Intelligence
Agents are becoming the new developer platform, using semantic search with data from tools like Git, Slack, and Jira for context. Things to consider are setting guardrails to block or allow things, and using logs, metrics, and traces to understand agent behavior.

Atlassian Automates Root Cause Analysis by Correlating Metrics, Logs and Traces
Atlassian has outlined a new approach to automating root cause analysis for large-scale cloud-native incidents, using correlation across metrics, logs, distributed traces, and service topology to generate ranked hypotheses about where failures originate and how they propagate.

More Incidents Don't Necessarily Mean Less Reliability
One of the most common assumptions in engineering leadership is that a rising number of reported incidents signals declining system reliability. However, a recent article from Great Circle argues that the opposite is often true: an increase in incident counts may actually indicate that an organization's incident management culture is improving.

HubSpot Redesigns JITA Authorization with Rule Engine Architecture
HubSpot has redesigned its Just-In-Time Access (JITA) authorization system using a rule engine architecture. The system evaluates access requests through independent rules organized as a directed acyclic graph, adding structured decision metadata, rule-level observability, and governance workflows to replace complex conditional authorization logic.

Developing and Deploying a Platform that the Business Understands and Developers Actually Want
A lot of platform teams face a problem: they build a lot of really cool stuff, and then their developers don't use it. Be visible to management, talk to stakeholders and listen to their problems, make your value measurable with metrics like DORA, create narratives, and show the hidden pain to make it personal: these are lessons that Lucas Hornung and Christian Matthaei presented.

How a Culture of Data-Driven Conversations Can Support Platform Engineering
To provide SRE as a service, a team built a center of excellence, introducing Federated SREs and roles like production manager and technical tribe lead. They created a culture of data-driven conversations where SLOs and SLAs were democratised. Surviving growing cognitive load meant continuously simplifying architecture and embedding sovereignty and resilience into platform design decisions.

How Platform Engineering Using Golden Bricks Can Enable Fast and Smooth Delivery
Platform engineering should have a product focus, as developers are customers; they must provide composable, self-service capabilities, golden bricks rather than rigid golden paths, so teams can move quickly while maintaining consistency. Success is measured through adoption, developer experience, and business outcomes such as deployment frequency and change failure rate.

Driving and Measuring the Impact of Platform Engineering
Platform engineering has to be approached from a socio-technical perspective, and shaped by all stakeholders, not just developers, Sergiu Petean said in his talk Driving the Future of Insurance through Platform Engineering. Platform success depends on written principles that endure change while embracing change as the main design force, to enable teams to build, run, and release software.

QCon London 2026: Wrangling Telemetry at Scale, a Guide to Self-Hosted Observability
At QCon London 2026, Colin Douch discussed building and operating self-hosted monitoring stacks, surveyed the current tooling landscape, and explained how to build a coherent observability setup rather than treating logs, metrics, and traces as separate pillars.

LinkedIn Leverages GitHub Actions, CodeQL, and Semgrep for Code Scanning
LinkedIn has rebuilt its static application security testing (SAST) pipeline using GitHub Actions and custom workflows, enabling consistent, enforceable code scanning across thousands of repositories. The redesign improves security coverage, developer workflow, and observability while supporting the company’s shift-left strategy.

Why Software Engineering Governance Matters: Reducing Risk without Slowing down
Software engineering governance helps teams make decisions, Sarah Wells said at Goto Copenhagen. She argued it should support value delivery, not hinder it. Poor governance slows progress and can increase costs. A technical strategy with a radar can help teams to make better decisions, and aligning with DORA capabilities can boost their performance.

DevGreenOps: How to Design Sustainable Digital Services
DevGreenOps, also known as DevSusOps, is an extension of the DevOps approach, in which environmental sustainability considerations are integrated into every step of the DevOps cycle, Jochen Joswig said in his talk at OOP Conference. Applying transparency, minimalism, efficiency, and awareness helps us to design sustainable digital services.

Green IT: How to Reduce IT’s Environmental Footprint
Green IT focuses on reducing IT’s environmental footprint, by rethinking how you build, deploy, and power IT systems. At QCon London, Ludi Akue presented how her team did a lifecycle assessment, set a 10% emissions reduction goal, simplified architecture, and optimized frontends, to align with climate goals.
