Following the end of maintenance of the Ingress NGINX project, we have been working behind the scenes to migrate our customers’ clusters from Kubernetes Ingress + NGINX Ingress Controller to Gateway API + Envoy Gateway.

AWS EC2, Azure Virtual Machines, and Google Compute Engine (GCE) appear similar on paper but produce different bills due to how each provider prices capacity, discounts, idle time, and commitment terms. The same VM configuration can cost 20-40% more or less depending on which cloud you choose and how your workload runs. On paper, all three offer similar virtual machines. In reality, they price capacity, discounts, and idle time very differently.

Deploying changes to Oracle databases can be complex from working across multiple schemas, handling dependencies, and accounting for environment differences. Flyway has been helping teams bring order and automation to Oracle development for over 15 years and in 2026 we’re accelerating that investment even further. Here’s a look at the latest enhancements available today and what’s coming next for Oracle users.

This month’s highlights include smarter dependency handling in Flyway Desktop, and a look at how we’re starting the year strong for Oracle users. Plus: last call to share your feedback in our Flyway user survey (the prize draw closes soon!).

When a database security incident happens, everyone turns to the security team. We look for a simple root cause analysis, and then we add a control, tighten a policy, and maybe even buy a silver bullet tool. We feel progress! But the incident didn’t start there. It started years earlier, when the organization made a series of perfectly reasonable decisions that quietly expanded the surface area and weakened the consistency of control.

In the first two posts of this series, we explored how alert noise emerges from design decisions, and why notification lists fail to create accountability when responsibility is unclear. There’s a deeper issue underneath both of those problems. Many alerting systems are designed without being clear about the outcome they’re meant to produce. When teams don’t explicitly decide what they want to happen as a result of a signal, they default to the loudest option available.

Starting from today, Healthchecks.io users on all plans (Hobbyist, Supporter, Business, Business Plus) can invite an unlimited number of users into their projects. Previously, the limits were: 3 team members for Hobbyist and Supporter, 10 team members for Business, and unlimited team members for Business Plus. From now on, it is unlimited for all.

Hybrid and multi-cloud monitoring breaks down when teams can’t connect signals to customer impact fast enough to act. Hybrid and multi-cloud sound simple: run some workloads in public cloud, keep some on-premises, and connect it all. But in practice, you’re managing dependencies across teams and systems, tools that don’t share context, and incidents that refuse to stay in one place.

AlloyScan enters 2026 with a fully redesigned interface and meaningful enhancements that improve clarity, visibility, and control across your IT environment.

In a global microservices architecture, technical performance initially presents as a chaotic stream of disconnected telemetry. For a Technical Program Manager (TPM), success depends on the ability to move past these disconnected individual data points to identify stable patterns. If they have services entering critical states, looking at individual logs or traces is inefficient. Protecting system reliability requires an engine that can automate pattern recognition at scale.
