Human approval is easy when you are sitting in front of the agent. For an agent running by itself in a cluster, almost none of that holds. You’re in a meeting and your agent is running in a cluster. It has a service account, it has been asked to keep a service healthy, and it has just worked out that the right fix is to roll back a database migration. Nobody is watching it. That was rather the point of deploying it. You want to get notified to approve such an important action.

Improvements to the Progress Flowmon product family continue, and we are pleased to announce the release of Flowmon 13.1. The latest 13.1 release builds on the strong foundations we laid in Flowmon 13. Headline enhancements include a rebuilt visualization layer, automated investigation workflows and a set of AI-assisted capabilities in the Flowmon Anomaly Detection System (ADS). And the Flowmon team is eager to share how your team can utilize these new capabilities.

It is not always possible to patch vulnerabilities as quickly as hackers exploit them, but recent figures show just how much this gap has widened. FortiGuard Labs estimates that the time between the disclosure of a critical vulnerability and its active exploitation has dropped sharply to between 24 and 48 hours. By contrast, Verizon’s 2026 Data Breach Investigations Report shows that organizations take a median of 43 days to complete vulnerability remediation.

When an issue in production triggers an alert, the people responding to it are often working in Slack while the evidence they need is elsewhere. Responders need to move between conversations, telemetry data, source code, and incident tooling as they form hypotheses, coordinate actions, and keep stakeholders informed. That context switching can slow down a time-sensitive investigation and make updates harder to follow.

You set a threshold alert on a checkout endpoint at 500ms. It pages you every Monday at 9am, when traffic doubles and nothing is actually wrong. You raise the threshold to 800ms to make the noise stop. Three weeks later a real regression creeps in at 650ms, and nobody gets paged, because you tuned the alert to survive Mondays instead of to catch problems.

Provision a fresh Docker Registry with Terraform, build your container image into it, and deploy to Kubernetes in one One pipeline. One click. It provisions a fresh Docker Registry with Terraform, builds your container image into it, and deploys that image to Kubernetes. Every run creates a uniquely named registry, so you never hit naming conflicts. Creating Docker registries by hand every time you spin up a new service or environment gets tedious fast.

"Why do I need to give Flyway this extra database?" That's one of the most common blockers we hear from users setting up a Flyway project. Flyway has long had a concept of a build database or shadow database that is a dedicated sandbox database for Flyway to do background work in. It's required for Flyway to be able to simulate what running a set of migrations will do to a database.

We have all watched AI speed up the way we write software. With tools like Copilot and ChatGPT, developers can spin up boilerplate, write complex functions, or draft entire micro services in minutes instead of days. It feels like magic. But there is a silent catch that we do not talk about enough: writing the code is only Day 1. The real challenge is Day 2 operations, which is everything that happens after that code is deployed.

India is the world's fourth-largest economy and accelerating fast. Here's why it should be on your network roadmap. Few markets combine scale, speed, and government intent the way India does right now. With a digital economy on track to reach USD $1 trillion by 2030, hyperscalers committing tens of billions in fresh investment, and connectivity infrastructure undergoing a generational upgrade, India has become one of the most consequential expansion decisions a technology business can make.
