How to Connect Jaeger with Your APM

Microservices make it tough to understand how applications behave end-to-end. Most teams already rely on an Application Performance Monitoring (APM) tool to track system health. But as requests move across many services, you also need distributed tracing. Jaeger gives you that visibility. The real value comes from connecting the two. Instead of running APM and Jaeger in silos, you can combine their strengths, metrics from your APM, and traces from Jaeger, to get a clearer view of performance.

Feature Spotlight: PostGres Mocking #speedscale #postgres #postgresql

Struggling with integration testing because of a Postgres database dependency? Testing can feel impossible when you need to replicate realistic data in Postgres. That’s where Speedscale’s Postgres Mocking Tool comes in. Speedscale drops a recorder into your live system, observes all Postgres traffic, and shows you the actual sequence of statements and responses—making it easier than ever to test reliably.

Major DAC Update: Expanded Database Support, Enhanced Security, and AI-Powered Features

We are thrilled to announce a significant update across our DAC (Data Access Components) product line.

Building a .NET PostgreSQL MCP Server for Claude Desktop

Querying PostgreSQL in plain English is no longer a futuristic idea; it’s something you can build today. With a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, Claude Desktop connects securely to external systems, including databases, through a structured interface. Here, MCP acts as the bridge between Claude and PostgreSQL, allowing it to run queries, explore schemas, and return results instantly in Markdown. This guide walks you through building that bridge in C#.

Accelerating Cloudnative Development & DevOps

Cloud-native development, and the resultant rise of DevOps, has transformed how software is built, deployed, and maintained. By embracing containerization, microservices, and continuous delivery, organizations have been able to deliver features faster, scale with demand, and recover from failures more gracefully than ever before. Many organizations are adopting these practices to keep up with industry demands and improve efficiency and security. But this speed and flexibility come with a significant cost - complexity.

Introducing PostgreSQL Static Data in Flyway

One kind of data in most relational databases is what we call static data. This is also referred to as lookup data, code data, domain data or even list data. Whatever you like to call it, it’s usually smaller data sets consisting of data that never changes, or changes very slowly. One example might be Canadian postal codes. Another example, and one I’m going to use, is the amateur radio band definitions within a given country.

The Best Cloud Cost Allocation Methods, Explained

All the major cloud providers enable users to attach business context to their infrastructure in some way. This process — known as cloud cost allocation — is how companies map spend to the teams, products, or features driving it. Done well, cost allocation fuels smarter business decisions. It connects cloud bills to business value, helping teams not just control spend but also understand unit economics and margins.
