For decades, digital accessibility in state-funded higher education has largely been a "reactive" game. If a student with a visual impairment reported an issue with a tuition portal, the university would scramble to provide an accommodation. As long as the institution could show "meaningful progress" toward compliance, it was generally shielded from significant legal repercussions. That era is officially ending. The U.S.

Enterprise Spring Boot APIs should be tested at three levels: unit tests for business logic, integration tests for external service behavior, and traffic replay for production edge cases. Most teams only do the first. This guide shows all three using a real Spring Boot application that calls external APIs (SpaceX, US Treasury) with JWT authentication. The kind of service that looks simple in development and breaks in production.

Production bugs that only reproduce in actual traffic can be some of the most frustrating bugs in software development. You can stare at your logs, add traces to your code, add instrumentation – and still not be able to see the actual requests that went over the wire. And that gets even harder when the requests are encrypted and the system is a black box. You can use tools like Wireshark or Kubeshark to capture the requests.

Updated March 03, 2026 One of the things that keep online shop owners awake at night is – will my website withstand the Black Friday traffic? As this is one of the most important days of the year, a downtime of even a few minutes can translate into thousands of dollars in losses. This is why we’ve decided to come to your aid with a hands-on article where we discuss the most common Black Friday problems eCommerce websites should avoid, and how you can avoid them.

The “agent vs agentless” debate usually comes up when teams are trying to choose an infrastructure automation approach that will not compromise security, compliance, or impact day-to-day operations. You need to manage a hybrid estate, avoid creating more work for already stretched teams, and ideally do it without stitching together multiple tools. That pressure often turns the conversation into a binary choice: which approach is better?

Welcome to Beyond the horizon, a monthly series celebrating the people who shape Upsun’s culture, innovation, and heart. In this month’s edition, we’re featuring Ana Cidre, Director of Developer Advocacy at Upsun and one of the key voices shaping how developers experience our platform today and in the future.

European organizations are facing growing data sovereignty demands. Discover options, benefits, and best practices for keeping your data local. Across Europe, organizations are rethinking how they manage their data. The reasons for this push are multi-layered. The U.S. Government’s approach to data privacy often contrasts with Europe’s generally tighter regulations – but recent geopolitical and regulatory shifts in the U.S.

Software Engineering is once again being forced to evolve. We are entering the era of infinite code where the cost of writing code tends to zero. The data tells us that companies are only moving 20% faster than when humans wrote code by hand. We’re writing orders of magnitude more code than ever, yet our processes are barely keeping up with what we had before. The chaos and complexity is only being amplified by this new shift in how we work as developers.

Today we’re announcing the CloudZero Claude Code Plugin, a new capability that puts CloudZero’s full cost intelligence model directly inside Claude Code, where engineers and technical FinOps practitioners already work. The plugin connects a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and nine pre-packaged investigation skills to CloudZero’s cost data, covering cloud and AI spend across AWS, GCP, Azure, Snowflake, MongoDB, OpenAI, Anthropic, and more.
