How Miscommunication Can Break Your Code!

Security isn’t just about scanners and firewalls...it’s about people. In this session, Stefania Chaplin (founder of DevStefOps) explores how developers and security teams can collaborate more effectively to build stronger, more resilient systems. You’ll learn why empathy, trust, and psychological safety are just as essential as any security tool. What you’ll learn: Why people are the heart of effective security The real-world cost of miscommunication (including the Equifax breach) How to align dev and security mindsets Strategies for building collaborative, security-first teams.

Undo a Git Commit - Without Losing Your Code

Think you have to reset hard or revert every time you mess up a Git commit? Nope. In this episode of Wait… Git Can Do That?, we show you how to undo your last commit without losing any changes — using git reset --soft HEAD~1. Perfect for devs who move fast, commit early, and want cleaner history. Subscribe for more Git tricks they don’t teach you in tutorials. GitKraken Desktop: gitkraken.com/git-client.

Grok 4 Sets Records - But I'm Focused on Microsoft's 9% Sales Growth

The recent launch of Grok 4 has set the AI community buzzing. With an impressive score of 73 on TLDR’s AI benchmark, Grok 4 edges ahead of OpenAI’s O3 and Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro, both scoring 70. Elon and the X AI team deserve praise for this breakthrough, reinforcing Grok 4’s status as potentially the most powerful LLM yet.

The Three Constraints Of AI Adoption: Code, Servers, And Wallets

Earlier this year, OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman admitted something that should make every engineering leader pause: they’re “currently losing money” on ChatGPT Pro subscriptions, which run $200 per month. Let that sink in. A company charging two hundred dollars a month for AI access — 10 times what most SaaS products dare to ask — is still bleeding cash on every user. This isn’t a pricing problem. It’s a physics problem.

Golden Paths Made Easy With Cloudsmith

Over the past few years, Platform Engineering has taken off as more and more as enterprise organisations adopt the practice of creating a centralised, self-service interface for developers to access the tools they need in order for them to do the job they were meant to do: build amazing software. At the heart of every Golden Path lies the ability to reliably produce, store, and consume build artifacts, from container images to internal libraries.

How to Get Grafana Iframe Embedding Right

Adding Grafana dashboards directly into your app lets users see monitoring data without switching tabs or tools. Using an iframe to embed Grafana does work, but it brings along some tricky authentication and security issues that aren’t always obvious at first. In this blog, we’ll go over the practical ways to embed Grafana dashboards from easy public snapshots to secure, private dashboards that need authentication.

Optimize LangChain Performance with Trace Analytics

You’ve instrumented your LangChain app, and traces are now flowing into Last9. Now the issues are visible: API costs are crossing $200/day, average response times exceed 3 seconds, and performance degrades under 100 concurrent users. A single tool call adds over 2 seconds. Bloated context windows are pushing up token usage, wasting $50/day. Here’s how to use trace data to identify and fix these inefficiencies, systematically and at scale.

What is Linux Support?

In the world of enterprise IT, “support” can mean many things. For some, it’s a safety net – insurance for the day something breaks. For others, it’s the difference between a minor hiccup and a full-scale outage. At Canonical, it means a simple, comprehensive subscription that takes care of everything, so that everything you build works the way you want it to, for all the people who love to use it.

Observability as Code: Why You Should You Use OaC

Key takeaways In the fast-moving world of CI/CD pipelines, microservice architectures, and container orchestration, software changes rapidly. What exists in a codebase today might be gone next week. At this scale and speed, it’s impossible for development teams to manually track every line of code and every new piece of functionality.

Top 6 Multi-CDN Solutions

Speed and reliability are crucial for online businesses. Whether you're streaming, gaming, e-commerce, or running media-rich websites, downtime or slow content delivery can drive users away. This is where Multi-CDN solutions become essential. A Multi-CDN setup dynamically manages requests across several CDN services, combining the strengths of each and minimizing weaknesses such as regional limitations, service disruptions, or bandwidth saturation. These systems provide resilience and optimization, often using advanced analytics, traffic-routing logic, and real-time load balancing.
