Update (March 2026): AWS has announced that AWS Proton will reach end of life on October 7, 2026. After that date, the Proton console, API, and pipeline management will be permanently unavailable. If you're currently using Proton, read our migration guide.

AWS Proton is reaching end of life. If you're reading this, you probably just found out — either from the AWS console banner, your account manager, or a panicked Slack message from someone on your platform team. Here's what you need to know: your infrastructure is safe, but the tool you use to manage it is going away. You have until October 7, 2026 to find a replacement. That sounds like plenty of time. It isn't.

Summary: Today, many teams are moving from MySQL to PostgreSQL as they update their database systems and plan for future growth. However, too often, there is extra work after the migration: for example checking that tables and constraints were copied correctly, tuning performance, and confirming that replication works properly. Devart’s PostgreSQL tools help DBAs with these tasks through features like Schema Compare, Data Compare, and other tools that help review and manage PostgreSQL databases.

Short Summary: PostgreSQL can slow down when range queries and frequent data updates rely on the same indexes. This guide shows how to spot the problem and use Devart tools to reduce B-Tree index conflicts, improve query plans, and manage bi-weekly data updates in AWS Aurora.

I’ve been an engineering leader for over a decade, and I’ve spent most of those years in private Slack groups with other engineering leaders, comparing strategies and kvetching about Kubernetes. Of the hundreds of threads I’ve taken part in, the one that got the most engagement the fastest was a recent one around AI adoption. “Where are you on this continuum?”, it read. “A. You don’t really care how people use AI; B. You push people to use AI; or C.

In the 2026 regulatory landscape, manual audits are a liability. This guide explores using GitOps to generate DORA-compliant audit trails through IaC, drift detection, and automated segregation of duties. Discover how the Qovery management layer turns compliance into an architectural output, reducing manual overhead for CTOs and Senior Engineers.
