Grafana’s Approach to AI-Native Observability
Advanced software systems have long been more complex than any single engineer can fully understand. Observability is the established solution to this problem, but with AI agents now generating code, deploying changes, and operating autonomously, the challenge of understanding large software systems is entering a new dimension.
Grafana is an open source observability platform, and one of the most widely used in the world. The company builds tools that help teams collect, visualize, and act on telemetry data across logs, metrics, and traces. They are now extending that capability into the agentic era with AI-powered investigation and monitoring tools.
Anthony Woods is a co-founder of Grafana Labs. In this episode, he joins Matt Merrill to discuss how AI-generated code is straining software operations, why telemetry data volume has become as much a problem as a solution, how Grafana is adapting to a world where agents are the primary consumers of observability data, and what keeps him up at night about where the industry is headed.
Matt Merrill is a software engineering leader with over 20 years of experience building and scaling software teams across enterprise and product-focused organizations. His background is in backend development, cloud architecture, and distributed systems design. He currently architects and delivers software products and leads a team of engineers at DEPT® Agency. You can learn more about his work at code.theothermattm.com.

The GitHub problem (and other predictions) (Friends)
Mat Ryer is back and he brought his impromptu musical abilities with him! We discuss Rob Pike vs thankful AI, Microsoft’s GitHub monopoly (and what it means for open source), and Tom Tunguz’ 12 predictions for 2026: agent-first design, the rise of vector databases, and are we about to pay more for AI than people?!

So do we like Generics or not?
So, do we like generics or not? Some people feared they’d be the end of the language. Others were very hopeful, and had clear use cases, and were thrilled about the feature coming to the language. It was also often touted as the reason a lot of people didn’t adopt Go. So what do we think now? Mat and Kris are joined by Roger Peppe and Bryan Boreham to discuss the state of Generics in Go.

Betting on Svelte for pace.dev
We often try new frameworks and tools in side projects or throwaway contexts, but you don’t learn that much about a thing until you use it to build something real. That’s why we have Mat Ryer and David Hernandez joining us to share their experience of using Svelte while building their new startup, Pace.dev.
