Releasing new features is one of the highest-stakes moments in the software delivery life cycle. Even with CI/CD pipelines in place, plenty of things can still go wrong when a feature goes live for actual users. Most feature flagging tools operate in isolation from important observability tooling, forcing engineers to monitor changes across multiple disconnected systems to fully understand their impact. This slows down development and increases the chance of missing critical issues.

Today’s software organizations can’t make tradeoffs between speed and trust – you need both to succeed. But juggling them is tough. Moving too fast can lead to security vulnerabilities and compliance issues, while moving too slow means your competitors beat you to market. This tension creates friction that slows down every release, a problem that is rooted in your software pipeline.

For years, compliance has been synonymous with checklists, manual reporting, and time-consuming audits. That definition no longer holds. In our September 2025 webinar, Patrick Hubbard, Technical Marketing Director, led a conversation with JB Baker, Vice President of Product Engineering, and Marc Jensen, Channel Sales Engineer. Together, they showed how automation is transforming compliance into something far more strategic: the foundation of modern resilience.

Network operators across the digital ecosystem are under pressure to cut costs while protecting revenue. This post explores three practical use cases where Kentik Traffic Costs helps turn traffic insight into commercial intelligence that helps teams negotiate smarter, protect margins, and boost profitability.

The world of Kubernetes and RabbitMQ evolves rapidly. Our popular 2022 post laid the groundwork for HA deployments; now, join us for the crucial 2025 update to ensure your architecture remains cutting-edge. As organizations continue their powerful shift from monolithic architecture (where all the code building the application exists as a single, monolithic entity) to microservices architecture.

When you’re responsible for the reliability of complex systems, the execution layer of your automation is not something you want to think about—it should just work. Whether you’re deploying code, patching servers, or responding to an incident at 3 a.m., your automation engine should be as resilient and scalable as the infrastructure it’s operating on.

Email automation allows you to send emails automatically based on certain triggers or schedules, so you don’t have to click the Send button every time. This includes things like welcome messages, drip campaigns, and regular newsletters. In this tutorial, you will create a simple system that automatically welcomes new subscribers and sends them updates about technology, all with the help of AI.

This is the third post in our series on the future of incident management, which builds upon The Future of Incident Management: Your Blueprint for Operational Excellence and How Native Process Automation and Auto-Remediation Drive Operational Excellence. Organizations are facing increasing complexity across their IT landscapes.

As a platform integrator, we get a unique look at the tools our customers adopt every day. Of all the shifts I’ve seen, none has been as rapid as the adoption of coding assistants. The conversation has quickly gone from ‘is this tool really going to drive value?’ to ‘how quickly can we roll this out?’ No one can doubt the immense value these tools provide in shipping code faster.

Use this guide to help you build a solid observability foundation without getting overwhelmed and get started with the best practices for a practical Kubernetes management. Starting your Kubernetes journey can feel like diving into the deep end; with hundreds of metrics, endless logs, and a growing list of tools, it's easy to lose focus. But here's the good news: you don't need to monitor everything from day one. Instead, start small.
