InfoQ Reading List
QCon London 2026: Wrangling Telemetry at Scale, a Guide to Self-Hosted Observability
At QCon London 2026, Colin Douch discussed building and operating self-hosted monitoring stacks, surveyed the current tooling landscape, and explained how to build a coherent observability setup rather than treating logs, metrics, and traces as separate pillars.
By Renato LosioWhere Do Humans Fit in AI-Assisted Software Development?
An article on Martin Fowler’s blog by Kief Morris examines the role of humans in AI-assisted software engineering, arguing developers are unlikely to move fully “out of the loop.” Instead, teams may work “on the loop,” designing tests, specifications, and feedback mechanisms to guide AI agents, as industry discussions focus on how such systems should be verified and governed.
By Matt FosterQCon London 2026: Rewriting All of Spotify's Code Base, All the Time
At QCon London 2026, Spotify's Jo Kelly-Fenton and Aleksandar Mitic discussed Honk, an AI-powered coding agent that enables code migrations across Spotify's codebase. The system improves migration, reducing timelines drastically and addressing complexities that traditional scripts could not. Key challenges included handling edge cases and standardizing the codebase to facilitate review processes.
By Daniel CurtisHubSpot’s Sidekick: Multi-Model AI Code Review with 90% Faster Feedback and 80% Engineer Approval
HubSpot engineers introduced Sidekick, an internal AI powered code review system that analyzes pull requests using large language models and filters feedback through a secondary “judge agent.” The system reduced time to first feedback on pull requests by about 90 percent and is now used across tens of thousands of internal pull requests.
By Leela KumiliQCon London 2026: SBOMs Move From Best Practice to Legal Obligation as CRA Enforcement Looms
In a talk at QCon London 2026, Viktor Petersson argued that software teams are running out of time to adopt SBOMs (Software Bills of Materials) due to pending legislative changes in both the US and Europe. He walked through the current regulatory landscape, spoke on the practical mechanics of generating high-quality SBOMs and on the emerging standards for distributing the resulting artefacts.
