    APM, Application Performance Monitoring System

    Are you working on microservices, cloud native, and container-based architectures? Then you need to check out Apache Skywalking. It's an Application Performance Monitoring (APM) system, that provides monitoring, tracing, and diagnosing capabilities for distributed systems in Cloud Native architectures. This latest update has hundreds of changes including support for Java 21 runtime, new functions and parameters, the addition of Golang as a supported language for AMQP, Kafka, RocketMQ, and Pulsar, support for multiple labels in metrics, and tonnes more. Check out all changes in the very comprehensive release notes. All the Apache Skywalking metrics are available via Grafana.

  • Angular

    Deliver web apps with confidence 🚀

    Those building mobile and desktop web applications might be familiar with Angular, a development platform for building using TypeScript, JavaScript, and other languages. The latest release brings a new home for Angular Developers with their new website, experimental support for zoneless change detection, lots of server-side rendering improvements, more stable controls, and lots more. Check out all the changes and what these mean for Angular devs on the Angular blog post.

  • Grafana

    The open and composable observability and data visualization platform. Visualize metrics, logs, and traces from multiple sources like Prometheus, Loki, Elasticsearch, InfluxDB, Postgres and many more.

    Speaking of metrics and Grafana, this popular project gets a major update too. As shown in the image above, Grafana is a data visualisation and composable observability platform. With Grafana you can query, visualise, alert on, and understand your metrics wherever that data may sit. The latest update adds lots of new features and enhancements such as a slightly refreshed UI, reducing the set of fields that could trigger an alert state change, the removal of Loki's API restrictions on resource calls, and lots more. Check out all the changes in the changelog.

  • Tasmota

    Alternative firmware for ESP8266 and ESP32 based devices with easy configuration using webUI, OTA updates, automation using timers or rules, expandability and entirely local control over MQTT, HTTP, Serial or KNX. Full documentation at

    Firmware and embedded systems engineers will love this project; Tasmota is firmware for ESP8266 and ESP32 based devices that allows you to more easily configure your devices. The catch with this new update is that direct migration for versions earlier than 8.1 are no longer supported. If you're using anything higher, you can directly migrate to this latest version. Tasmota 14.0 adds a bunch of new commands, support for new hardware such as temperature and pressure sensors, and lots more. Read up on all the new devices, modules, and how to migrate in the Tasmota release notes.
