What is cloud cost monitoring? Cloud cost monitoring is a way to track and analyze expenses related to cloud services, such as data transfer, storage, and computing power. It includes monitoring resource allocation, usage, and billing data to optimize spend and ensure efficient utilization of your cloud resources.

In the financial sector, where system reliability directly impacts customer trust and revenue, even minor IT inefficiencies can spiral into costly crises. For one of the world’s largest banks—supporting 25 million customers, 2,000 branches, and 3,000 ATMs—a hidden challenge threatened its reputation: unpredictable memory consumption in critical applications.

AI has the power to optimize network performance, detect anomalies, and improve capacity planning, but its effectiveness depends on high-quality data. Without a strong data foundation, AI remains a theoretical tool rather than delivering real operational value.

The DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA) report is an annual study that provides data-driven insights into what drives high performance in technology organizations. DORA originated as a team at Google, focused on increasing velocity, performance, and collaboration in DevOps. Drawing on feedback from over 39,000 professionals globally, the 2024 report categorizes the practices and metrics that define high-performing teams in two higher-level groups.

Engineering teams might face the technical hurdle of legacy system dependencies or they might worry about downtime during deployments. This article dives into these challenges and provides strategies to overcome them.

Testing shouldn’t feel risky. While it might sound counterintuitive, certain types of testing can actually increase risks to your systems. Load testing, for example, is a great way to see how your systems behave under pressure, but it can also cause those same systems to fail if they aren’t equipped to handle the load. For some types of testing, this is necessary, as is the case with reliability testing and Chaos Engineering.
