Imagine having a concise, AI-generated report of any incident at your fingertips. That’s what Squadcast’s new Incident Summaries feature delivers—instant clarity on ongoing issues, saving precious time during critical moments. At any point in time, any stakeholder or a responder can simply generate and view the incident summary with all important details highlighted, essentially offering a single pane of glass.

All but the simplest applications borrow code. You could write everything yourself from just core language features but who has time for that? Instead you take on dependencies, pieces of code written by others that usually give us 80% or more of what we need with 20% of the effort. Sometimes these dependencies are made to interact with a specific technology like a database, or perhaps it’s just a library providing some feature that would be onerous to write yourself.

Sales engineering has become a critical function in modern businesses, bridging the gap between technical product knowledge and the sales team’s ability to close deals. However, the role of sales engineers (SEs) extends far beyond pre-sales support; they play an essential role in driving revenue growth, supporting the sales process with technical expertise, and ensuring smooth handovers from sales to customer success teams.

Supporting faculty members effectively is one of the most important roles of school administration. Teachers and professors are responsible for shaping the next generation of learners, and to do that well, they need a solid foundation of support from their school’s leadership team.

Managing multiple office locations can be an overwhelming task for any organization, particularly when it comes to ensuring smooth operations, effective communication, and streamlined workflows across teams. Without a centralized system, managing workforce tasks, supporting employee needs, and tracking performance can become a chaotic and inefficient process.

PostgreSQL PostgreSQL is a powerful open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) and is one of the most popular relational databases with over 1.5 billion users. It’s renowned for its reliability, robustness, and comprehensive capabilities. It is capable of managing a broad variety of workloads, from small single-machine applications to large-scale enterprise databases.

Time series databases are designed to store and analyze data collected at specified points in time. They’re essential for applications that handle huge amounts of continuously generated data, such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices, system monitors, and financial systems. InfluxDB, an open source time series database known for its outstanding performance and scalability, has gained popularity due to its capacity to manage large amounts of time-stamped data.

Let’s be honest: platform engineering is evolving fast, and a lot of teams are being forced to write the rules while still collecting context. Plenty of terms and topics are still up for debate—from, “Is this just DevOps 2.0?” to “How much abstraction is too much?" In this blog we pulled together 10 of the biggest topics being debated today. While we may not have all the answers, we think just getting up to speed on what's left to decide helps all of us get better.
