More engineering effort going into reinventing things that already exist to upsell people on Grafana cloud. What about focusing on the core value that Grafana provides, dashboards? Grafana 8 alerting is still in my opinion at a beta level.

This will no doubt be overshadowed by Generics, but Workspaces[0] are going to be incredibly useful for companies using a monorepo with shared packages. Once again, great job to the Go team! [0] https://go.dev/doc/tutor

Agree. I really can only imagine this being useful for an organization that publishes dozens of different libraries that a "product team" needs to use such as logging, database access, secret managers, etc. At that point, speaking

Performance is relative, so I'm not really sure the point being made here. Sure if your program has regex as the constrained resource this matters, but again it's all relative.

For one, I'm not convinced that the Grafana 8 Alerting API Swagger docs are up to date or ready for the public [0]. I've literally copied an alert's json format, and then tried to post it back and never got it to work. Here&#

I wish Grafana would stop trying to make offerings that already exist and focus on making their dashboards and alerts as code usable. I would even pay money for an actual offering that worked.

In today's world of excellent CLI tools I don't think grep is a good choice, especially for checking irregular languages like XML. [0] I use tools like `jq` [1] or `yq` [2] all the time for CI checks. One useful check, is we have

Take vault for example. Rather than have to toggle a flag in your service to get a secret, you could have the vault sidecar inject the secret automatically into your container, as opposed to having to pass a configuration flag `USE_VAULT` t

You can! There are downsides though for any sufficiently polyglot organization, which is maintaining all the different client SDK's that need to use that. Sidecars are often useful for platform-centric teams that would like to have acc

A benefit of Kafka is that it is relatively trivial to spin up multiple consumers from a single CDC stream. If you have some user attribute table that you set up with Debezium, there are a couple downstream consumers (teams!) that also want

Makes me wonder what their partitioning strategy was. I can't imagine a cache that is over 4GB+ that couldn't be partitioned at least a bit further. But good call out, thank you for the correction.
