Two key metrics that often come up in discussions about network performance are throughput and goodput. While these terms may seem similar, they highlight different aspects of your network’s efficiency and misunderstanding them can lead to poor decision-making that can impact the way you manage your network and your business’ resources.

This was the problem one Bindplane customer had with processing enormous S3-stored log files. Our engineering team tackled the problem head-on, enhancing the S3 event receiver with offset tracking and chaos testing methodologies.

As government agencies modernize IT infrastructure, many are shifting to hybrid and multicloud environments. But this evolution brings heightened exposure to cyber threats. For the public sector, where data protection is tied to national security and public trust, compliance is more than a box to check—it’s the front line of defense. FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program) provides a standardized framework for securing cloud services used by U.S. agencies.

You’ve made it to Senior engineer. Now what? You’re now staring at the next level, Staff typically, sometimes Principal, or whatever your company calls it. The path feels murky. Your manager gives you feedback like “show more technical leadership” or “think bigger picture”, but what does that actually mean day-to-day? I’ve been there. I’ve also been on the other side, helping engineers grow through whatever explicit (or implicit) levels a company has.

"There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things."—Phil Karlton In the age of increasingly frequent deploys, edge caching, and Jamstack adoption, caching plays a key role across the software delivery life cycle. In build and CI pipelines, caching compiled assets or dependencies helps reduce compute costs, speed up job runtimes, and lower the environmental impact (regarding energy usage) of repeated builds.

MongoDB is a popular NoSQL database used by many modern web applications. Once your web application is up and running, you might find you need to monitor the application data for operational purposes. For example, you may need to report on user sign-ups, or monitor for problems like invalid data. SquaredUp is an easy-to-use dashboard that plugs directly into your MongoDB database to visualize and monitor your data.

From optimizing supply chains to personalizing customer experiences, artificial intelligence and machine learning models are no longer statistics-based revenue initiatives; they’re foundational to modern business strategy. Organizations are pouring resources into developing and deploying AI, driven by the promise of unprecedented efficiency, insight, and competitive advantage. Yet, beneath this surging wave of innovation lies a growing tension: the Innovation vs. Control Syndrome.

Many, many years ago, I was a computer science major at the University of Illinois, hoping someday I’d be able to write code for a living. I started my career in QA hoping to learn the ins and outs of software development. But it turns out I wasn’t very good at coding. I was just good enough to get a role as a sales engineer, where all I had to do was write code that could hold together for 30 minutes in a demo.
