The Hidden DevOps Problem: Why Tools Alone Aren't Enough

In today’s fast-paced software product development world, efficiency and innovation aren’t just important — they’re everything. DevOps engineers and SREs are tasked with maintaining high-performing systems, improving deployment frequency, and ensuring stability while navigating a dizzying amount of tools. Developers who write code also need to learn these tools and are dependent on them to do their jobs. So what’s the problem?

Web Summit 2024: The future of AI and data governance

Last week, Lisbon was jam-packed with innovation as Web Summit 2024 saw over 70,000 attendees and 3,000 companies at one of the largest tech conferences in the world. Across the exhibition floor and track presentations, a clear theme emerged: while AI offers numerous benefits, its large-scale impact on data processing raises concerns among many parties, from consumers, legislators, and government bodies.

KubeCon NA 2024: Service Discovery, Security, and AI-Oh My!

Though KubeCon North America 2024 has officially come to a close, the CNCF's flagship event has left us buzzing with residual excitement. After all, waving goodbye to a crowd of 9,200+ attendees is never easy—especially with Salt Lake City's snow-capped mountains towering impressively in the background. However, it was our conversations with HAProxy booth visitors that truly stole the show.

Keeping Time in Distributed Systems

We all know that keeping a server clock "on time" is an ongoing problem that computer scientists have wrestled with for decades. Nowadays, most servers keep time using a quartz crystal oscillator that's powered by a CMOS battery. The crystal vibrates at a very precise frequency and that's how it maintains accuracy (cool right). Events like rebooting and power loss can cause the server to abandon its primary clock source and fall back to an OS-level timekeeping system.
