Sustainable Cloud Computing in the UK: Challenges, Opportunities, and the Future

The tech industry's environmental impact is a growing concern, but can collaboration and innovation drive sustainability? At Civo Navigate London 2025, Regent Lee, Dinesh Majrekar, Liam McTague, and Simon Morris explored the challenges and opportunities of reducing emissions in the tech industry.

Set up a live code editor in Next.js with CircleCI

Interactive playgrounds have changed the way developers learn and experiment with code. Instead of having to copy and paste code into a separate Read–Eval–Print Loop (REPL) or local environment, users can write, edit, and run code directly within the tutorial or application interface. Adding this type of editor to a Next.js app makes it more engaging and helps users understand better by eliminating the need to switch between different tools.

AI-Powered Translation Tools: A Hidden Asset for Scaling DevOps Globally

DevOps or development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops) teams are no longer confined to single geographic locations or language groups. With over 80% of organizations now practicing DevOps (a figure projected to reach 94% in the near future), the challenge of scaling operations globally has never been more critical. Yet, one persistent bottleneck continues to slow down even the most sophisticated DevOps workflows: language barriers.

Optimizing Enterprise Operations Through Professional Data Center Decommissioning

You ever walk into a server room that feels like a time capsule? Half the machines are blinking away like they're still running Windows Server 2003. Then there's a label on a rack that nobody remembers putting there, and someone swears the old backup tape drive "might still be needed." Yeah. That. It's wild how many large organizations run on infrastructure that's way past its prime. And I get it - no one wants to mess with systems that are still technically "working."

Debugging Without a Net: The Pain of Reproducing Production Issues

Every engineer has been there — a late-night page, a broken feature in production, and no clear way to reproduce it. The logs are vague. The metrics look normal. Your local environment works fine. Yet something somewhere is failing for real users. So begins the detective work — debugging a live system with almost no tools, no perfect test data, and no clone of production.

When AWS Goes Down: What It Means For Your Cloud Costs

A global outage at Amazon Web Services (AWS) did more than knock popular apps offline. It laid bare the cost risks embedded in many cloud architectures. As services fail, the hidden costs of high availability, from redundancy planning to recovery operations, often multiply. For cloud cost leaders, this isn’t an issue of uptime; it’s a visibility and budget-shock issue. It’s a key reminder that architecting for resilience involves difficult trade-offs.

Regain Control and Visibility of All IT Assets Across Your Organization

When you don’t have reliable processes for managing IT assets, you can quickly lose control. Asset inventories lose their accuracy, data across tools like CMDBs and spreadsheets stops matching reality, and no one can say with confidence what equipment is in use, where it’s located, how it’s connected, and whether it’s still needed. For data center professionals, a lack of asset visibility creates real risks.

Why GPUs accelerate AI learning: The power of parallel math

What makes GPUs so crucial for AI workloads? Is it just about raw processing power, or is there more to it? As we explore the world of AI infrastructure, understanding the role of GPUs is essential. Let's dive into the math behind AI. At its core, AI is all about mathematics, and matrix multiplication is a critical component. Whether you're training a model to recognize images or predict outcomes, the data is converted into massive arrays or matrices of numbers.

Secrets We Forgot... Until Automation Saved Us

We All Have That One Secret… That API key that has been sitting in production for ages. The personal access token that was supposed to be rotated 2 months ago. The service key that is about to expire… wait, when does it expire again? Most developers have experienced working with secrets. We create secrets, use them, and promise ourselves that we will rotate them. But somehow, the secret that was supposed to be rotated after 90 days is still standing strong after 6 months. Sounds familiar?
