    Log Drains: Now available on Pro

    Supabase has launched Log Drains for Pro tier users, allowing them to forward logs from all Supabase infrastructure layers (Postgres, Auth, Storage, Edge Functions, Realtime, API Gateway) to external logging backends. Supported destinations include Sentry, Grafana Loki, Datadog, AWS S3, Axiom, and any generic HTTP endpoint. Logs are batched (up to 250 per batch or every second) with optional Gzip compression. Pricing starts at $10 per drain per project plus $0.20 per million events and $0.09 per GB egress. The feature enables centralized observability across the full stack without context-switching between the Supabase console and existing monitoring tools.

    OpenTelemetry support for .NET 10: A behind-the-scenes look

    Grafana Labs engineers worked with the OpenTelemetry .NET community to deliver native .NET 10 support for the OpenTelemetry instrumentation libraries on the same week as .NET 10's stable release in November 2025. The post covers the value of early preview validation (catching a logging source generator regression before RC2), key changes in the new release including schema URL support for metrics and traces, new ASP.NET Core metrics for authentication, Blazor, and memory pools, and a breaking change where the default trace context propagator switched to W3C. It also flags a binding redirect gotcha for .NET Framework apps using .NET 10 assemblies.

    Build, buy, or open source? Understanding your options with Grafana’s AI-powered observability

    A framework for choosing between building, buying, or using open source for AI-powered observability. The three options are framed as lanes: building in-house offers maximum control but requires significant ongoing investment; open source provides a flexible foundation but leaves teams responsible for AI orchestration, prompt design, and evaluation; and managed solutions like Grafana Cloud offer out-of-the-box AI capabilities including Grafana Assistant and Assistant Investigations. The post argues these aren't mutually exclusive—Grafana's ecosystem allows teams to combine approaches, shift strategies over time, and extend managed AI with custom agents and internal knowledge sources via open APIs.
