What is Microsoft Entra ID, and why is this important in the database ecosystem? If you have ever used the Microsoft Authenticator app, you’ve already seen how the MS Entra ID works, but only a fraction of it. Microsoft Entra Identity (formerly Azure Active Directory) is a modern identity platform that unifies authentication, strengthens access controls, and integrates with the applications and databases businesses rely on most.

We are excited to announce a new release of SecureBridge, EntityDAC, and the dbExpress product line. This update introduces support for the newest RAD Studio version, enhances compatibility with popular databases, and adds new components and options to simplify development and strengthen security.

C1 + Juniper Networks: AI-Native Solutions That Actually Make Life Easier.

AI-first observability addresses two of the most pressing troubleshooting challenges: complex IT environments and AI-generated code. But understanding how to implement AI in a way that brings ROI, requires cutting through the hype and maintaining realistic expectations, while keeping a forward-thinking vision. In this blog post, we bring practical tips for including AI in your next observability RFP. The article is based on a webinar held with Logz.io founders, CEO Tomer Levy and CTO Asaf Yigal.

We talked to 7 companies in August 2025 who were looking to switch from New Relic. One engineering director said they're paying $1,000 a month and only ingesting 10% of their traces. Teams are defaulting to aggressive sampling, some at 1%, others at 10%, to manage costs.

AI adoption is reshaping how organizations innovate. It’s also driving cloud costs higher. CloudZero’s State Of AI Costs In 2025 report finds that for mature FinOps and engineering leaders, visibility into AI costs is a critical first step, but it’s not enough. To enable fast, responsible AI and machine learning innovation at scale, teams need pragmatic, flexible guardrails. They don’t need rigid budgets or knee-jerk shutdowns that slow progress or push teams into shadow ML.

The cautious optimism business leaders held towards AI agents has evolved into more widespread enthusiasm. In our last survey from April 2025, just over half (51%) of companies had deployed AI agents in their organization. Six months later, 75% of companies are deploying more than one agent, according to PagerDuty’s latest research.

This could’ve been prevented. This should have been prevented. This too. We all hate getting tagged in PRs. The time, the blame for when you inevitably miss something, and constant “I wouldn’t have written it that way” feeling is just hard to shake. LLMs promised this would get easier. Promised they would do it for us. But as we’ve seen, we’re not there yet. But this is what Sentry does for a living. We catch bugs… in prod.

Application Performance Monitoring (APM) helps you understand how your software runs in production. When you track the right metrics, you see how requests move through your system, where slowdowns happen, and how resources are being used. With this knowledge, you can spot issues early and keep your applications reliable for your users. In this blog, we discuss the key APM metrics to monitor, grouped into categories, and why each one matters for performance and user experience.
