Sustainable AI Investment: A Systems Thinking Approach

Feb 12, 2026 By Adam Tankanow In CloudZero
According to our new report, FinOps in the AI Era: A Critical Recalibration, 40% of companies now spend $10M or more annually on AI. Most can’t tell you if it’s working. That’s not a budgeting problem. It’s a systems problem. And Donella Meadows wrote the playbook for understanding it.

The PaaS Graveyard: Why Platforms Keep Dying and Developers Keep Migrating

Feb 12, 2026 By Kash Sajadi In Cloud 66
I've been in this industry since before the word "PaaS" existed. I founded Cloud 66 in 2012 — the same year Heroku was peaking, dotCloud was pivoting to become Docker, and the idea of "just git push and forget about servers" felt like the future. It was the future. Partly. The deployment experience was revolutionary. The business model wasn't. Last week, Heroku announced its transition to "sustaining mode" — no new features, no new enterprise contracts.

Heroku Moves to Sustaining Mode: What It Means and What You Can Do About It

Feb 12, 2026 By Kash Sajadi In Cloud 66
Last week, Heroku announced it is transitioning to a "sustaining engineering model." In plain English: no new features, no new enterprise contracts for new customers, and Salesforce is redirecting its investment elsewhere. The platform will be maintained for security and stability, but that's it. If you've been in this industry long enough, you know what "sustaining mode" means.

How frictionless development created a trillion dollar mistake

Feb 12, 2026 By Anish Dhar In Cortex
We've all heard from an engineering leader about the exact moment they realized their architecture had gotten too complex. It usually happens when they look at a service map and realize it looks like a box of tangled Christmas lights. This cognitive overload is exactly what Steve Evans, the former SVP of engineering at Chegg, reflected on in a recent post on LinkedIn. He argued that microservices were a trillion dollar mistake because we often over-build for future problems that never actually arrive.

Migration blueprint for moving your application without rewriting

Feb 12, 2026 By Upsun In Upsun
The decision to migrate a production application is rarely about the destination. It is about the friction of the journey. For most engineering leaders, the word "migration" is a synonym for "refactor." The industry has conditioned us to assume that moving to a modern cloud platform requires throwing away years of stable configuration, learning a new proprietary DSL, and rewriting core application logic to fit a specific container or serverless model.

Why Upsun is the multi-cloud PaaS technical leaders are choosing in 2026

Feb 12, 2026 By Upsun In Upsun
In a recent technical evaluation by Journal du Net (JDN), Upsun (formerly Platform.sh) was recognized for its ability to "pull ahead" (tire son épingle du jeu) in a fiercely competitive market dominated by cloud giants and specialized pure players. While hyperscalers offer raw power, Upsun’s strategic fusion of enterprise reliability and AI-ready agility has redefined expectations for modern PaaS.

Follow-the-sun and other on-call models

Feb 12, 2026 By Sreekar In Spike
Most teams run on-call using rotation-based schedules where responsibility shifts every few days or weeks. But some situations call for different models that change who responds based on time zones, expertise, or the type of incident that triggers. This guide walks you through six on-call models that work outside the standard rotation patterns.
