The hitchhiker's guide to infrastructure modernization

One of my favourite authors, Douglas Adams, once said that “we are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works.” Whilst Adams is right about a lot of things, he got this one wrong – at least when it comes to infrastructure. As our Infra Masters 2025 event demonstrated, infrastructure is the technology that makes everything work – from managing a satellite in outer space, to, say, livestreaming an event.

How does observability enhance operations in cloud native voice networks?

The 17th century saw the onset of the Scientific Revolution. It was a time of knowledge explosion. During this time, scientific practices were still evolving, with no universally accepted protocols for data collection and analysis. Individuals documented any observation, resulting in the collection of massive amounts of information, but much of it was hard to leverage to draw useful conclusions. The development of the scientific method provided a common approach to capturing and analyzing data.

[Webinar] Drift Happens! 3 Kubernetes Drift Scenarios & How to Overcome Them

Many organizations don’t realize the impact of Kubernetes drift until they’re managing multiple clusters and face skyrocketing costs, delayed fixes, and downtime. Drift can lead to inefficiencies and even critical security risks. That’s why it’s crucial to understand and proactively address drift at scale.

The Role of Observability in Modern DevOps Pipelines

DevOps has radically transformed how organizations build and deploy software, enabling faster delivery with greater reliability. Within this transformation, observability has emerged as a critical foundation for success. Unlike traditional monitoring that simply tracks known metrics, observability provides deep visibility into complex systems, allowing teams to understand and troubleshoot issues they couldn't anticipate. This shift represents much more than a technical evolution - it's a fundamental change in how organizations approach system health and performance.

Introducing BunnyHunt: The $1M Global Competition to Build, Ship, and Deploy Software at the speed of your creativity

In 2025, building software is no longer just about writing code. It’s about how fast you can turn ideas into reality. It’s about leveraging AI tools, using ephemeral cloud environments, and deploying at the speed of creativity. And now, it’s also about unlocking your share of $1,000,000 pool.

How to Justify DCIM's ROI to Leadership

For those deep in the day-to-day operations of a data center, the value of a modern Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) solution is often clear. It helps improve capacity planning, uptime, energy efficiency, and the productivity of people. Data center professionals understand this, and most would love to have DCIM software that simplifies their jobs and helps them deliver better results. But for leadership who controls the budget, the benefits of DCIM software aren’t always so obvious.

Four Ways to Connect Your Clouds

Learn how to connect your cloud environments without sacrificing speed, security, or cost efficiency. Businesses aren’t sticking to just one cloud provider anymore. Maybe you’re running apps on AWS, storing data in Google Cloud, and using Azure for AI workloads. It makes sense – each provider has its own strengths. But now you’ve got another challenge: How do you connect them all efficiently without running into performance issues, high costs, or security risks?

Now Available: Smart Archiving with the JFrog Platform

Every day development teams around the world release new software. But what happens to prior releases that are no longer in production? Most organizations save them, typically due to internal policies, external regulations, or simply the fear of losing data. Organizations typically take varied approaches to retaining their prior releases.

Traces & Spans: Observability Basics You Should Know

In modern software architecture, applications aren't just getting bigger—they're getting more distributed. With microservices, serverless functions, and containers running across multiple environments, understanding what's happening inside your systems can feel like trying to track a single raindrop in a storm. That's where traces and spans come in. These observability tools aren't just buzzwords—they're your secret weapon for making sense of complex distributed systems.

Metrics Monitoring: The Only Guide You'll Need

When major tech companies maintain high availability while others struggle with frequent outages, the difference often comes down to one thing: effective metrics monitoring. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about metrics monitoring, from fundamental concepts to advanced strategies.
