Optimizing PostgreSQL Performance for Large Tables with Boolean Filters

Short Summary: In this guide, we address performance problems that occur when PostgreSQL queries very large tables containing low-cardinality boolean fields. It also demonstrates how composite indexes, created and tested with Devart tools, allow PostgreSQL to locate the required rows directly instead of scanning the entire table.

Scaling Your CLI Query Tool: Prioritizing Database Support for Maximum Impact

Short Summary: This article explains how to expand your CLI query tool so it can handle multiple databases. First, we focus on key relational systems, then move to data warehouses. We’ll use dbForge Edge as a reference point, showing how different databases can be managed in one place while keeping automation simple.

Choose the Right SQLite ODBC Driver: Practical Comparison for 2026

Picking an SQLite ODBC driver is like choosing a key; you need one that opens every door cleanly, without snapping or jamming. The right driver must connect your data effortlessly—no errors, no limitations. It also has to withstand real challenges: complex queries, cross-platform environments, and large datasets. In this guide, we’ll show you which 2026 drivers stand up to these demands, so you can pick the one that won’t let you down.

Regression Testing: What it is, why it matters, and how to automate it with CI/CD

Regression testing is the practice of re-running existing tests after a code change to confirm that previously working functionality hasn’t broken. It answers a single question: did this change break something that used to work? In CI/CD pipelines, regression tests run automatically on every commit, giving teams immediate feedback before code reaches production.

Measuring Developer Productivity: Prove Impact | Harness Blog

The best engineering teams rely on data-driven frameworks like DORA metrics and SPACE to measure developer productivity and demonstrate business impact. This guide explores proven measurement approaches that move beyond vanity metrics to capture real engineering value and team performance. Your developer productivity initiative didn't collapse because the data was wrong. It stalled because it couldn't answer the business question. Leadership asked, "So what?".

Making Security Invisible for Game Developers

Security that developers never have to think about. That's the goal Audrey Long, Senior Gaming Cloud Security Architect at Microsoft Gaming Security, set out to achieve, and then actually built. In this GitKon session, Audrey walks through how Microsoft Gaming tackled a massive identity security challenge across double-digit Entra ID tenants spanning independent game studios. With no existing tooling that fit the pace of game development, her team built the Entra ID Tenant Security Scanner from scratch using the Maester Framework, custom PowerShell, and GitHub Actions.

Harness Artifact Registry: Your Unified OCI-Compliant Gateway for Secure Artifact Management | Harness Blog

If you've worked with builds and deployments, then you already know how central Docker images, dependencies, and containers are to modern software delivery. The introduction of Docker revolutionised how we package and run software, while the Open Container Initiative (OCI) brought much-needed standardisation to container formats and distribution. Docker made containers mainstream; OCI made them universal.

What is engineering operations? A guide to the discipline transforming software teams

Engineering teams are writing more code than ever. AI coding tools have made individual developers dramatically more productive, yet most organizations report moving only about 20% faster than before. The real constraint has always been the operational fabric surrounding the act of writing code. The processes, standards, visibility, and coordination that determine whether hundreds of engineers and thousands of services ship reliable software at speed have always been where the real work happens.
