When the internet goes down, our primary job is to help everyone get back up, as fast as possible. Of the almost half a million incidents we've helped our customers solve, there are some which stand out for both their scale and impact. One of these happened on Monday, October 20, when AWS had a widely covered major outage in their us-east-1 region, from 07:11 to 10:53 UTC. We’re hosted in multiple regions of Google Cloud and so the majority of our product was unaffected by the outage.

DORA is right: AI is an amplifier, for better or worse

Oct 22, 2025 By Ron Powell In CircleCI
The 2025 DORA report just surveyed nearly 5,000 technology professionals and delivered a verdict that should reshape how you think about AI investment: AI doesn’t create organizational excellence; it amplifies what already exists.

Managing Freelance DevOps Work in 2025: Smarter Ways to Stay Online and Paid

Oct 22, 2025 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
Staying online is only half the battle for a freelance DevOps engineer. Keeping bills paid when clients delay payments or projects vanish overnight is the other. Unlike salaried tech roles, freelancers operate in a world where uptime isn't just for servers - it's survival strategy. When systems break, your name is on the line.

Part 1: Building a Production-Grade Traffic Capture and Replay System

For the same encryption, same trust, same green padlock that Let's Encrypt gives away for free.
