9 PB of production telemetry. Processed last quarter. Zero sampling. That number made me pause. Oodle is only three years old. I still remember when "scale" meant something very different. Proud of our incredible team. And grateful to the customers trusting us. https://t.co/fq9VCeunnS

Excited to see our founding engineer, Anirud Samala, speaking at the next @ReactBangalore meetup. He'll share how we used OpenTelemetry + AI to track down and fix Next.js build time spikes. If you're building with React or Next.js, come check it out! https://t.co/Fi0zYvVdGW https://t.co/1pzo9NTc5u

A few customers kept asking us: βDo you support synthetics?β So we shipped Synthetic Monitoring. Now itβs all under one roof: Logs. Metrics. Traces. APM. K8s. Cursor-like debugging. Slack + Cursor + Claude. And now β Synthetics. Add your first availability check in 30 seconds. https://t.co/FUXPkiYhY6
