Heroku vs AWS: Differences & What to Choose for Mid-Size & Startups in 2025?

Heroku and AWS offer distinct benefits for startups and mid-size companies. This guide compares pricing, scalability, security, and developer experience to help you choose the right cloud platform based on your team’s needs and growth goals.

Auto Scaling of Kubernetes Workloads Using Custom Application Metrics

Orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes and OpenShift help customers reduce costs by enabling on-demand, scalable compute resources. Customers can manually scale out and scale in their Kubernetes compute resources as needed. Autoscaling is the process of automatically adjusting compute resources to meet a system's performance requirements. As workloads grow, systems require additional resources to sustain performance and handle increasing demand.

Kunal Kushwaha, explores the laws and regulations governing data storage and transfer, and the implications of data sovereignty in the UK and India. Learn how data sovereignty affects individuals, businesses, and governments, and discover the challenges and opportunities that arise from it. For organizations looking to maintain control over their data, Civo offers Sovereign Cloud solutions in the UK and India.

What's Holding Back AI Adoption in India?

Earlier this year, I spent a few weeks in India, visiting universities, speaking at meetups, and catching up with founders. What stood out wasn’t just the excitement about AI, but the focus on what it can actually do today. The curiosity about GenAI and big-picture questions around AGI is there, but most conversations centered around real needs: learning faster, applying for jobs, and getting healthier.

Stop Guessing, Start Measuring: Optimizing Rancher Continuous Delivery With Fleet Benchmarks

Rancher Continuous Delivery (known as Fleet) can be used in a workflow to deploy applications to many clusters. With its GitOps support, it enables downstream clusters to pull updates from a Git repository. We know of users that monitor several hundred Git repositories and deploy to a thousand clusters. To make this scale possible, several intermediate steps are necessary. First, the application is converted into separate bundles, which are then targeted at clusters.

Why Manual Tuning Fails: A Better Way to Optimize Kubernetes Workloads

As a data platform engineer, you’re tasked with running complex workloads—Apache Spark jobs, AI/ML pipelines, batch ETL—across dynamic Kubernetes environments. Performance matters. Time spent tuning matters. And so does cost. But if you’re still relying on manual resource tuning to optimize your workloads, you’re playing a losing game. Sure, you can tweak CPU and memory requests by hand. You can comb through Prometheus metrics, look at job logs, estimate peaks.

New Feature: Virtual Providers - Orchestrate Hybrid Infrastructure

Your Infrastructure. Your Cloud. Anywhere. Introducing Virtual Providers—a powerful new way to turn any server or VM into part of your Cycle-managed private cloud. With just a bootable ISO generated from the Cycle platform, you can instantly bring bare metal or virtual machines online—no matter where they live. Cloud, colo, on-prem, edge, or even a server sitting in a closet. Once connected, Cycle handles the provisioning, updates, networking, and orchestration automatically.
