Choosing a Software Engineering Intelligence Platform (2026)

Engineering leaders face a common challenge: too much data scattered across too many tools, and no clear picture of how software delivery is actually performing. A software engineering intelligence platform pulls together metrics from your Git repositories, CI/CD pipelines, and issue trackers into a single view – helping you make decisions based on evidence rather than intuition.

From Monitoring to Observability: How DEX Integrations Strengthen IT Visibility and User Productivity

When I started working in IT in the last 90’s, IT performance was always measured by the health of infrastructure: CPU utilization, network latency, server uptime, and for many organizations, little has changed in the last 30+ years. We became very good at keeping systems alive, yet users still struggled to get work done. That disconnect is exactly why Digital Employee Experience (DEX) has emerged as a critical discipline. But DEX on its own is not the end goal.

Redgate Monitor | AWS Database Migration Readiness

n this demo, we explore the AWS Database Migration and Modernization (D2M) framework, from Align and Assess, trough to Optimize, and show how Redgate Monitor helps you to establish performance baselines, right-size target environments and continuously optimize RDS and Aurora spend for full cloud cost visibility. Learn how Redgate Monitor can give you a single view of your entire AWS and on-premises, multi-database environment.

Your Metrics Look Fine. Your Engineers Are About to Quit.

Developer experience predicts what's coming 3 to 6 months before it shows up in your delivery metrics. So why are most engineering leaders measuring it last? In this session, GitKraken VP of Developer Research Jeremy Castile breaks down what developer experience (DevX) actually is, how to measure it across 6 key dimensions, and how it connects to velocity, code quality, and AI impact data your team is already tracking.

Redgate Test Data Manager | AWS Database Migration Readiness

In this demo, we explore the AWS Database Migration and Modernization (D2M) framework, from Align and Assess through to Optimize, and show how Redgate TDM helps teams to safely work through compliance or data privacy concerns during cloud migrations. See how to safely mask sensitive data, create reusable datasets, and accelerate development with consistent, compliant test data across environments. Discover how test data management reduces risk, supports DevOps pipelines, and enables faster, more secure cloud migrations.

Claude Code Sandbox: The Complete Guide to Sandboxing AI Agents in Production

How to sandbox Claude Code, Codex, and other AI coding agents for production use. Compare local Docker, Daytona, E2B, and Qovery approaches - with architecture diagrams and real-world examples. Romaric founded Qovery to make Kubernetes accessible to every engineering team. He writes about platform strategy, developer experience, and the future of cloud infrastructure.

Security vs speed in databases | The Simple Talk Podcast

Are engineering teams quietly accepting more risk? Redgate's 2026 State of the Database Landscape report reveals that people are increasingly willing to accept more risk to be more productive and take full advantage of AI’s capabilities. Steve Jones, Kellyn Gorman, Grant Fritchey and Pat Wright share their thoughts on that in today's episode. They share stories from their own careers, debate on whether the decline of the DBA 'gatekeeper' role has weakened security practices, how AI is amplifying the problem - and much more.

How are hyperscalers misleading the cloud industry?

In 2024, Mark Boost, CEO at Civo, introduced the concept of ‘cloud parity’, a cloud computing approach that ensures a consistent, identical experience, feature set, and operational model across public, private, hybrid, and edge environments. “Cloud parity gives teams the freedom the cloud was supposed to deliver in the first place. It gives enterprises the sovereignty they need. It gives public sector bodies the clarity they require.
