Improve performance and reliability with APM Recommendations

Feb 18, 2026 By Anthony Lagana In Datadog
SREs and application developers rely on telemetry data to understand and improve their systems. As organizations scale and evolve, those systems generate an ever-growing volume of metrics, logs, and traces. But more data alone does not make it easier to improve performance or reliability: Identifying meaningful optimizations still requires careful investigation and analysis.

Predict, compare, and reduce costs with our S3 cost calculator

Feb 18, 2026 By Philip Williams In Canonical
Previously I have written about how useful public cloud storage can be when starting a new project without knowing how much data you will need to store. However, as datasets grow over time, the costs of public cloud storage can become overwhelming. This is where an on premise, or co-located, self-hosted storage system becomes advantageous: it provides the greatest range of benefits, including cost, performance, security, and data sovereignty.

GPU-as-a-Service: The network's critical role in accelerated computing

Feb 18, 2026 By Lily Bennett In Console Connect
The explosion of AI has created a continuous demand for computing power. At the heart of this need sits one critical resource: GPUs. They have become the hardware of choice for AI and machine learning, particularly deep learning workloads that operate on enormous data sets. However, as organisations race to train larger models and deliver faster inference, many are discovering that owning and operating GPU infrastructure isn’t always practical.

Build and test your first Kubernetes operator with Go, Kubebuilder, and CircleCI

Feb 18, 2026 By Olususi Oluyemi In CircleCI
Kubernetes operators extend the Kubernetes API with custom logic, automating tasks like provisioning, configuration, and policy enforcement. Instead of managing these tasks manually or with ad hoc scripts, Operators codify your workflows into controllers that run natively inside the cluster. In this tutorial, you’ll build a simple operator using Go and Kubebuilder; a framework that scaffolds much of the boilerplate so you can focus on core logic.

5 key takeaways from the 2026 State of Software Delivery

Feb 18, 2026 By Ron Powell In CircleCI
AI has made it easier than ever to write code. Shipping it is a different story. Today we released the 2026 State of Software Delivery report, sponsored by Thoughtworks. In it, we analyzed more than 28 million CI/CD workflows across thousands of engineering teams. The picture that emerged is clear: teams are producing more code than ever, but fewer of them are able to turn that activity into software that actually reaches customers.
