I’ve built a community Genkit plugin for OpenTelemetry in Go

This plugin implements exporters for trace/span, metrics, and logs to match your observability stack.

👉 Check it out on GitHub: buff.ly/atOhoGC I’d love your feedback, bug reports, or contributions!

I've just updated Cardex to use Veo 3 Preview to make the cards live, and it works awesome!

Generate your cards and make the real today: buff.ly/vbNDaTK

🚀 Just dropped the AWS Bedrock plugin for Genkit in Go!

After building it for TypeScript, I couldn't resist bringing the same power to the Go ecosystem. Now you can integrate AWS Bedrock's AI models into your Go applications with Genkit's developer-friendly framework.

Firebase Studio is a beast, but you can be more productive if you connect Firebase Studio to external MCP servers.
