Akamas announced the General Availability of Akamas Insights, the newest module of the Akamas Platform.
Initially launched in beta earlier this year, Akamas Insights brings a patented AI-driven optimization solution that enables organizations to achieve reliable and cost-efficient performance across Kubernetes environments – effortlessly and collaboratively.
Akamas Insights analyzes telemetry from existing observability tools such as Prometheus, Datadog, Dynatrace, or OpenTelemetry to automatically detect where cost inefficiencies and reliability risks originate across the stack — from clusters to application runtimes. It then provides ready-to-apply recommendations that allow developers, SREs, and platform engineers to align on safe, data-backed optimizations.
“Observability gave teams visibility; Akamas turns that visibility into actions,” said Enrico Bruschini, COO of Akamas. “With Insights, optimization becomes effortless and collaborative — a shared process that helps every team deliver reliability and efficiency at once.”
Akamas Insights brings all roles into one optimization workflow. By surfacing cost and risk insights in the same view and quantifying the impact of each recommendation, it enables clear prioritization and safe, measurable improvement across teams.
“With Insights, we connect the dots between application runtimes and Kubernetes infrastructure,” said Stefano Doni, CTO of Akamas. “Teams can finally see — and fix — the inefficiencies that cause waste and reliability issues, all from the same data they already have.”
SREs can easily spot unreliable applications and raise a PR from Akamas with all its recommended changes. Developers can review and approve the PR, effortlessly optimizing full-stack while remaining in control.
As teams gain confidence, Akamas can automate more steps under policy-driven governance, until optimization becomes a native platform capability — continuous, autonomous, and always aligned with business goals.
Akamas Insights joins Akamas Offline as part of the Akamas Platform, the only solution that supports both continuous optimization in production and automated performance tuning in pre-production, powered by a patented AI Engine.
- Akamas Offline – runs controlled experiments to identify optimal configurations before production.
- Akamas Insights – continuously analyzes observability data to recommend and apply safe optimizations in production.
Together, they enable enterprises to continuously improve reliability, cost efficiency, and performance safely and at scale, across modern cloud-native systems.
“Our customers believe that performance, reliability, and cost can no longer be managed in silos,” added Bruschini. “Akamas helps unify these goals under one intelligent process — measurable, governed, and trusted.”

In live financial environments, capital markets software cannot pause for rebuilds. New capabilities are introduced as stacked technology layers to meet evolving demands while systems remain active, data keeps moving, and controls stay intact. AI is no exception, and its opportunities are significant: accelerated decision cycles, compressed manual workflows, and more effective operations across complex environments. The constraint isn't the models themselves, but the architectural environments they enter ...
Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...
In MEAN TIME TO INSIGHT Episode 23, Shamus McGillicuddy, VP of Research, Network Infrastructure and Operations, at EMA discusses the NetOps labor shortage ...
Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...
The 2026 Observability Survey from Grafana Labs paints a vivid picture of an industry maturing fast, where AI is welcomed with careful conditions, SaaS economics are reshaping spending decisions, complexity remains a defining challenge, and open standards continue to underpin it all ...
The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
AI workloads require an enormous amount of computing power ... What's also becoming abundantly clear is just how quickly AI's computing needs are leading to enterprise systems failure. According to Cockroach Labs' State of AI Infrastructure 2026 report, enterprise systems are much closer to failure than their organizations realize. The report ... suggests AI scale could cause widespread failures in as little as one year — making it a clear risk for business performance and reliability.
