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.

The real reason your AI initiatives are failing

AI has made it faster and easier to change a codebase than ever before. But in a system as complex and interdependent as modern software delivery, writing code has never been the biggest challenge. For most teams, the real constraint is getting that code safely into production. So while AI assistants and autonomous coding agents have dramatically accelerated the pace of change, for many organizations those changes are piling up against bottlenecks that were already slowing them down.

Reliability means smooth on-call and a strong team

True reliability is when your engineers have confidence in their systems and their teams. Full transcript: Reliability to me means my on-call shift is gonna be smooth because everybody is making the attempts to be smart about the type of code that we're writing. And we're regularly testing to make sure that our system has redundancy and can withstand latency spikes, it can withstand resource spikes.

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.

Modern Integration Stratergies: Moving from BizTalk to the Azure cloud

In this episode, Martin Abbott sits down with Ahmed Bayoumy, a Microsoft MVP and integration expert, to discuss his unique journey into the world of integration - from a background in construction project management to becoming a passionate integration professional. They explore the evolution of integration technologies, the impact of AI on integration, and the importance of adapting to new tools and trends.

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.

Go beyond the dashboard: Operationalize DORA with our new Scorecard and Academy course

If you've adopted DORA metrics as your standard for measuring DevOps performance, stop us if this hypothetical scenario doesn't sound familiar. You check your DORA dashboard during a lunch break, full of optimism that you’ll get a clear picture of your team’s performance. Instead, you leave with nothing but a sandwich in your stomach and the nagging feeling that you’re focusing too much on the results of the game instead of the people that are playing it.
