Snowflake just leveled up its workload scheduler—now driven by LLMs and reinforcement learning. Instead of locking jobs to static warehouses, it predicts where to send them in real-time. Smarter routing, tighter hardware use, over40%shaved off compute bills. Bigger picture:Another nod toward ML-bas..

Kubernetes observability isn’t just about catching metrics or tailing logs. It’s about stitching togethermetrics, logs, and tracesto see what’s actually happening—across services, over time, and through the chaos. Thing is, Kubernetes doesn’t come with this built in. So teams hack together toolchai..
