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.”

As AI moves from generating responses to performing actions, the need for trust increases exponentially. And as organizations enlist AI agents for increasingly sophisticated business processes, trust is going to be the single most important theme for spurring adoption. What can organizations do to build trustworthy AI agents? ...
I've spent a lot of time in the channel, and one thing I keep coming back to is this: a partner program is only as good as what it looks like in the field. Many programs look great on paper, but when a partner is in front of a customer navigating a complex hybrid environment or trying to make the case for AI-powered observability, the gap between what a vendor promises and what it actually delivers becomes very clear, very fast ...
Enterprises today operate in a real-time environment where uninterrupted access to trusted data has become a baseline expectation for users, applications and automated systems. Traditional DataOps models, built on manual effort and human triage, cannot keep pace with this always active demand. AI agents are emerging as the operational backbone, ensuring consistent data availability, reinforcing trustworthiness and enabling a level of scale that manual processes cannot achieve ...
For decades, trust in the digital workplace rested on familiar signals. We trusted faces on video calls, voices on the phone, and emails that appeared to come from people we knew. These cues felt human and intuitive. They anchored how decisions were made, approvals were granted, and access was authorized. AI-powered deepfakes have quietly broken that model ...
Cloud migration was supposed to be a one-way door. For most enterprises, it turns out it isn't. Cloud data repatriation is a real and growing trend. A new survey ... finds that 89% of organizations plan to expand their on-premises infrastructure footprint over the next two years — and 75% have already moved at least some workloads back from public cloud in the past 24 months. The findings point to a broad rethinking of where data belongs ...
Over the past few years, large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the software industry. Given their ability to excel at multi-step reasoning, LLMs have helped enterprises streamline workflows and adapt to the unknown. However, employing such models comes with sky-high costs, latency issues, and limited flexibility. In the realm of IT operations, it is generally wiser to employ smaller, domain-specific models instead ...
For years, DevOps teams operated under a simple assumption: collect enough telemetry, and you can find and fix any problem. That assumption is breaking down. Modern enterprises now operate across microservices, hybrid cloud environments, APIs, Kubernetes, and highly automated delivery pipelines. Releases happen continuously, dependencies shift constantly, and failures spread faster than teams can diagnose them ...
New Relic surveyed IT and engineering leaders from the media and entertainment (M&E) sector to understand what's working — and where challenges persist with their observability practices. The findings reveal how M&E organizations are navigating rising platform complexity, audience expectations, and AI-driven change. Below are five takeaways that stand out ...
Let me start with something I've seen play out more times than I can count. A team hits a wall with the cloud. Costs creep up, then spike. Performance starts to feel inconsistent. Someone in finance asks a simple question like "why did this double?" and nobody has a clean answer ... Maybe this isn't the right place for everything. That realization feels like a breakthrough, like you've identified the problem. In reality, you've just identified the starting line ...
