AI-native SaaS products aren’t failing because the models are bad. They’re failing because the architecture can’t keep up with how AI actually behaves in production. What looks affordable in staging can erode your margins once real customers, workflows, and automation come into play.

Open source libraries are repositories of code that developers can use and, depending on the license, contribute to, modify, and redistribute. Open source libraries are usually developed on a platform like GitHub, and distributed using package registries like PyPI for Python and npm for JavaScript. These repositories contain pre-written, re-usable code that developers use to add elements or features within their software projects.

Being on-call can sometimes feel overwhelming. If that feeling goes unnoticed for too long, it often translates into burnout. And early burnout signs usually show up in ways, like how people respond to incidents or how they feel about the schedule. This guide walks through four such signs that can be useful to watch for before on-call burnout sets in.

The European directives NIS2 (Network and Information Security Directive 2) and Critical Entities Resilience (CER) Directive have rapidly sharpened the conversation around digital resilience. While many organizations initially viewed these directives as an extension of their cybersecurity obligations, it is becoming increasingly clear that much more is at stake.

Today, the integrity of your infrastructure is synonymous with the integrity of your business. For system administrators and DevOps engineers, the landscape has shifted. It is not enough to simply provision servers and deploy applications.
