The future home of open source | Ubuntu Summit 25.10

In this talk, Fintan Halpenny discusses the current state of open source forges, why GitHub is becoming more hostile, what other forges are out there, and why you should consider Radicle to be the next home for your open source project. About Fintan Fintan Halpenny (@fintohaps) has been a part of the Radicle project for 6 years, seeing the different twists and turns of this ever-evolving idea and protocol. When he’s not programming, he’s playing around with music, or looking at the world upside-down on his hands.

Building dbRosetta Part 6: Let's Make a Web Page

Once more in this series, we’re moving into areas where I’m not entirely comfortable. I haven’t built a PHP plugin and web page, ever. However, we’re going to put the LLM/AI and associated agents to work on this task. As with so much else when working with AI, it all starts with the prompt, so let’s go there.

Crafting a microservice that fits your needs

This blog is based on Haylee Millar's talk at the Symfony 2024 conference. Haley is a Product Engineer at Upsun. We utilized AI tools for transcription and to enhance the structure and clarity of the content. When faced with an aging system that needs new features, many development teams find themselves at a crossroads. Do you patch the old system and risk technical debt, or do you take the leap into microservices architecture?

The cloud the way you want it: Introducing cloud parity

For decades, there have been two incompatible worlds in cloud: Public (AWS, Google, Microsoft) and Private (VMware, Nutanix). Moving between them meant throwing everything away and re-architecting your systems. Civo is rewriting that script. This final thought from the Civo keynote at Civo Navigate London 2025 introduces Cloud Parity: the elimination of the public/private gap. It's just one way of working, with the same product, same API, and same support.

How the ACME protocol automates certificate issuance

In 2015, only about 40% of websites used HTTPS. Today HTTPS is used over 95% of the time. The ACME protocol made that shift possible. The Automatic Certificate Management Environment (ACME) protocol enables software to automatically prove domain control to a certificate authority without any human involvement. No more generating CSRs by hand. No more copy-pasting into web forms. No more waiting for validation emails. ACME largely solved certificate issuance.

Bright Ideas: Measuring the ROI of AI Adoption in Financial Services

If there is one truth I have learned working with financial services firms in 2025, it is this: AI is no longer optional, it is operational. From risk modeling to customer experience, algorithmic trading to automated compliance checks, AI is now embedded into the fabric of modern finance. But there is a second, quieter truth. AI only creates value when it is used responsibly, measurably, and at scale.

Cloud Cost Governance: Architecting Accountability And Business Value

Imagine this. A product team rolls out a change to improve reliability. The deployment succeeds. Traffic grows. Weeks later, cloud costs increase, and the finance team asks what changed. No one can point to a single decision or owner. This situation is common in cloud environments. Infrastructure scales automatically, and costs are shaped by technical choices made across engineering, data, and product teams. Most organizations review cloud spending after it has already occurred. Ownership is unclear.

Release Roundup 2025: Reliability across AI, on-prem, and applications

2025 was a stark reminder of why reliability is so critical in the tech sector. The year wrapped up with multiple high-profile outages across several major cloud providers, costing companies around the world billions of dollars. Building resilient systems has never been more of a priority, especially as we move into the era of agentic AI.
