### AI overview

Atlassian describes replacing a large-scale gostatsd metrics pipeline with OpenTelemetry while preserving the existing StatsD interface for service teams. The migration uses purpose-built OpenTelemetry Collector distributions across collection, ingest, aggregation, and forwarding stages, with support for both StatsD and OTLP during the transition.

### Source excerpt

Why we did this at all For most of the last decade our metrics pipeline ran on gostatsd, the open-source StatsD implementation we maintain. It primarily did two jobs: as sidecar on every host and the...

### AI overview

China Merchants Bank won a CNCF case-study contest for a Kubernetes-based AI platform that shares nearly 10,000 accelerator cards across training, fine-tuning, and online inference. The bank reports increased average accelerator utilization and lower inference costs.
