The AI Workload Punishes Bad Habits
The AI workload presents the ultimate challenge, highlighting the structural limitations of the traditional hyperscaler model. In this segment from a Civo Navigate London 2025 session, Kelsey Hightower explains exactly why AI adoption forces enterprises to confront flawed architecture and rising astronomical costs. When specialized hardware is scarce and rented GPUs sit idle at a premium, it’s clear that traditional cloud providers were not built for this era. Data that didn't move is forcing organizations to move compute back to where it lives.
Searching Certificate Transparency Logs (Part 1)
Every TLS certificate issued by a root Certificate Authority (CA) ends up in one more more publicly accessible logs. These logs, collectively, make up the Certificate Transparency (CT) ecosystem. Unfortunately the logs are not very searchable. You can’t easily type in a domain and find all associated certificates. At CertKit we’re building CT monitoring capabilities to notify our customers when a new certificate is issued.
What Are SQL Server Agent Jobs: Guide With Examples
Behind every reliable dashboard and morning report stands a system of accountability: SQL Server Agent jobs. They’re what keeps backups on time, analytics flowing, and data pipelines steady when everything else moves fast. However, to sustain that reliability, SQL Server Agent must operate with precision at scale.
Azure Synapse Explained: Analytics And Business Value
Traditionally, companies had to use separate tools for ETL, data storage, and analytics. Often, this resulted in slow, complex, and expensive data workflows A good example is PwC’s Deals, Insights & Analytics (DIA) team, which faced similar challenges. According to Microsoft, bespoke solutions often took months to build and were difficult to merge, slowing projects and driving up costs. That changed when PwC adopted Azure Synapse Analytics. The result?
Reimagining software delivery with AI-powered workflows in Jira & Bitbucket
If you’re like most developers, you know that writing code isn’t the bottleneck anymore. AI has made it faster than ever, and chances are you’re already using it. Yet, delivering software is still complex because of everything else you have to manage: fixing vulnerabilities, reducing tech debt, cleaning up feature flags, ensuring test coverage, writing documentation, and the list goes on. That’s why we built Rovo Dev, a context-aware AI agent for developers.
Dynamic Stage | Execute a Pipeline within a Stage !
The new Dynamic Stage allows you to import and execute an entire pipeline's YAML definition inside a single stage of your current pipeline. It is essentially running a pipeline within a stage. The pipeline YAML can either be generated and transformed at runtime in a previous stage, or be directly provided to the source input of the Dynamic Stage in encoded form. Dynamic Stages work seamlessly across Harness CI and CD modules.
Bloom filters: the niche trick behind a 16× faster API
This post is a deep dive into how we improved the P95 latency of an API endpoint from 5s to 0.3s using a niche little computer science trick called a bloom filter. We’ll cover why the endpoint was slow, the options we considered to make it fast and how we decided between them, and how it all works under the hood.
