Gremlin app for Dynatrace - DEMO!

Dynatrace gives engineering teams deep, real-time visibility into every service they run. That visibility is the foundation of every effective reliability practice, and it's exactly the foundation Gremlin is built to extend. Once you can see how your distributed systems behave today, the next step is knowing how they'll behave under failure tomorrow—and to do it before those failures happen.

Sovereign cloud and open source: Why software freedom matters for digital sovereignty

The sovereign cloud conversation has been dominated by physical location and legal jurisdiction. Both matter. But there's a third leg most discussions skip: the software stack itself. If the platform running a sovereign cloud is proprietary code controlled by a company in another country, its sovereignty has a soft underside.

Continuous Delivery Excellence with Harness IDP | Harness Blog

This article explores how Harness Internal Developer Portal accelerates continuous delivery by providing self-service workflows, standardized deployment pipelines, and unified service catalogs. Discover how platform engineering teams use IDP to reduce deployment friction, improve developer velocity, and achieve operational excellence across the software delivery lifecycle. Why does achieving continuous delivery excellence feel like pushing water uphill when you already have CI/CD pipelines in place?

Measuring IDP Success: Metrics Beyond Tracking | Harness Blog

This guide explores outcome-based metrics for measuring Internal Developer Portal success without invasive developer tracking. Learn which KPIs demonstrate ROI—from deployment frequency to MTTR—while building trust and improving developer experience through privacy-respecting analytics. Your executive team wants to see measuring IDP success in numbers, but the moment you start tracking individual developer keystrokes, you've already lost the trust that makes the platform worth building.

How to Make DevOps Dashboards and ITSM Content Easier to Read with Typography

Operations teams live inside text. They read alerts, dashboards, logs, runbooks, release notes, escalation messages, postmortems, service catalogs, and knowledge base articles. During normal work, that text helps teams understand systems. During an incident, it can decide how quickly people separate a signal from noise.

How Smarter Patch Management Strengthens IT Operational Resilience

Operational resilience depends on an organization's ability to maintain essential systems when disruptions occur. Cyberattacks, software failures, and configuration problems can all threaten that stability. Yet one of the most preventable sources of risk is also one of the most persistent: outdated software. Patch management is often treated as routine maintenance. In practice, it supports both cybersecurity and service continuity. A well-structured patching process reduces exposure to known vulnerabilities while helping IT teams keep applications and operating systems reliable.

13 best practices for database development in Visual Studio 2026

Database development rarely breaks all at once. It happens through small changes that seem harmless at the time. Someone adds a column directly to the shared database. A stored procedure gets fixed in production but not in the project. An index is created in staging and never added anywhere else. Everything looks fine until the next release. Then the differences start showing up, and nobody is quite sure which version of the schema is correct.

You Aren't As Behind As You Think

If you look at the people posting to social media the most about AI, you’ll probably feel left behind. They’re running dozens or hundreds of agents and probably shipping more than you. But, they are not representative of the rest of the dev world. They are the 1% of the 1%. The thing that might be missed is that you reading their posts is probably separating you from a much larger cohort of devs that are still trying to figure out how to use AI effectively in their day to day work.

Why latency is important when choosing an IP backbone provider

As businesses rely on cloud computing, AI, real-time communications and globally distributed applications, network latency has become a defining factor in overall network performance. While bandwidth determines how much data can be transferred, latency determines how quickly that data reaches its destination. Even a high-bandwidth connection can deliver poor application performance if latency is too high or inconsistent.

Autonomous IT and the Five Forces Reshaping IT in 2026

Autonomous IT is the focus of this LogicMonitor fireside chat with CMO Brooke Cunningham and CPO Garth Fort, built for enterprise IT leaders, IT operations, and observability and AIOps teams. Brooke and Garth break down the 2026 Observability and AI Outlook for IT Leaders report, based on a survey of 100+ VP-level IT leaders who own observability budgets across North America, EMEA, and Asia Pacific.
