What is Depot?
Depot extends from build acceleration into hosted source control with Depot Code.
Depot is broadening from a CI and build-cache company into a full developer-infrastructure platform. This cycle it launched Depot Code — a diskless git server backed by S3 blob storage — into private beta, moved CI and Sandboxes onto a re-architected Depot Metal compute tier, and kept extending Depot CI with new triggers, snapshot improvements, OIDC auth, and Datadog observability.
What is SigNoz?
SigNoz pairs an AI teammate with enterprise access control and wide cloud coverage
SigNoz, the open-source ClickHouse-backed observability platform, is advancing on three fronts at once. Noz, its AI teammate that answers plain-English questions across live telemetry, is now general to all cloud users. Cloud and integration coverage keeps widening — Azure services and six new onboarding sources including PlanetScale and Cloudflare Workers — while fine-grained, role-based access control entered beta for Cloud and Enterprise. Underneath, Query Builder v5, trace-detail rework, and a ClickHouse version bump continue.

Depot extends from build acceleration into hosted source control with Depot Code.
◆ Current state
Depot is broadening from a CI and build-cache company into a full developer-infrastructure platform. This cycle it launched Depot Code — a diskless git server backed by S3 blob storage — into private beta, moved CI and Sandboxes onto a re-architected Depot Metal compute tier, and kept extending Depot CI with new triggers, snapshot improvements, OIDC auth, and Datadog observability.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is a vertically integrated build-and-source stack: Depot Code stores git packfiles as S3 objects and runs stateless git workers, mirroring the same storage-compute separation behind Depot Metal. Each piece plugs into Depot CI, so the company is assembling an end-to-end alternative to the hub-and-spoke GitHub model rather than just accelerating it. The CI surface is maturing in parallel with reliability and integration features.
◆ Prediction
Expect Depot Code to move toward wider access and tighter Depot CI integration, and GitHub Actions runners and container builds to migrate onto Depot Metal over the coming months as promised.

SigNoz pairs an AI teammate with enterprise access control and wide cloud coverage
◆ Current state
SigNoz, the open-source ClickHouse-backed observability platform, is advancing on three fronts at once. Noz, its AI teammate that answers plain-English questions across live telemetry, is now general to all cloud users. Cloud and integration coverage keeps widening — Azure services and six new onboarding sources including PlanetScale and Cloudflare Workers — while fine-grained, role-based access control entered beta for Cloud and Enterprise. Underneath, Query Builder v5, trace-detail rework, and a ClickHouse version bump continue.
◆ Where it's heading
The platform is maturing from a query tool into an investigation surface: an AI layer to drive analysis, RBAC and self-service API keys to make that safe in larger orgs, and out-of-the-box integrations to shorten onboarding. Notably, the access-control work is explicitly framed around feeding read-only keys to the SigNoz MCP Server for AI tooling, tying the enterprise and AI tracks together. Expect Noz and MCP access to keep converging with the permissions model.
◆ Prediction
Next likely moves: Noz gaining more write-style actions beyond suggestions, RBAC graduating from beta with role assignment delegated, and continued ClickHouse-version-gated features like JSON trace attributes.
