Knowing how to create a database is no longer just a backend task; it’s a core skill for building systems that perform under pressure and scale with complexity. With global data volumes expected to reach 175 zettabytes by 2025, developers must design systems that turn raw information into something meaningful, accessible, and usable. But what does that look like in practice? How do you go from raw data requirements to a reliable schema? Which engine should you choose?

In today’s dynamic IT landscape, operations have become increasingly complex, with businesses managing diverse systems, devices, and services. Efficient control over these resources is critical, and that’s where the difference between asset and configuration management becomes essential. While IT asset management tracks physical and digital assets across their lifecycle, configuration management focuses on the relationships and settings of those assets within the IT environment.

Observability is about much more than dashboards and alerts. Extensible platforms that integrate into the user’s tech stack are fundamental parts of a great developer experience. This is why Coralogix has supported gRPC APIs for account management, data ingress & query, alert definition, dashboard creation, permissions management and more. Today, Coralogix adds a new integration, with the launch of OpenAPI endpoints for all existing functionality.

As organizations begin to scale their observability strategy, point and click methods of management become increasingly unworkable. This is why Coralogix has now fully released the Coralogix Operator for Kubernetes. Kubernetes operators are control loops that allow users to declare their desired state in their Kubernetes clusters, and the operator is responsible for resolving this state.

The apt package manager is responsible for installing.deb packages on Ubuntu LTS (long-term support) and interim releases, including the.deb package for the Linux kernel. Updating the kernel package requires a system restart, leaving systems vulnerable between the moment the Linux kernel package is installed and when the machine is rebooted.

2025 has truly been the year of Agentic AI, with MCP (Model Context Protocol) emerging as one of its flashy and most talked-about innovations. While many products have seamlessly integrated MCP servers into their systems, these servers are increasingly being labelled as black boxes, opaque components that handle critical tasks but offer little visibility into what's happening under the hood. We prompt an agent, a tool gets invoked, and a response is generated. But what really happens in between?

At LDX3 in London last week, two roundtables I hosted with engineering leaders confirmed what many of us are starting to feel: observability isn’t just important—it’s becoming essential to how modern teams navigate the pressure to move fast and stay resilient.

Q2 2025 has brought another wave of improvements to VictoriaMetrics Cloud! If you tuned in to our latest Quarterly Virtual Meetup, you saw firsthand how we’re making observability even more accessible, powerful, and interactive.
