Best PostgreSQL ODBC Drivers in 2026: How to Choose

Feb 3, 2026 By Dereck Mushingairi In Devart

PostgreSQL ODBC drivers are no longer background components. For teams running BI, reporting, and ETL on PostgreSQL, the drivers directly affect how fast queries run, how reliably dashboards refresh, and whether data pipelines remain stable as usage grows. As PostgreSQL moves deeper into analytics stacks, these capabilities are driving the demand for these tools, a trend reflected in broader ODBC market growth.

The hidden cost of "just using Kubernetes"

Feb 3, 2026 By Upsun In Upsun

Kubernetes has become the default foundation for a lot of modern application infrastructure. It’s powerful, flexible, and widely supported, which makes it an obvious starting point for many teams building a cloud-native application platform (a standardized way for teams to deploy, run, secure, and operate applications in production). But there’s a distinction that often gets lost early in the decision process: Kubernetes is a framework. It is not a platform.

Why a month is too long to be on-call

Feb 3, 2026 By Sreekar In Spike

There is often a temptation to stretch on-call shifts to a month or longer, especially when incident volume is low. The logic seems sound. If the phone rarely rings, it feels unnecessary to hand off on-call duties every week. But looking strictly at incident volume often misses the human side of the equation. Being on-call isn’t just about answering pages. It is also a state of mind. Even when it is quiet, simply being on-call could create fatigue of its own.

8 themes shaping engineering in the age of AI

Feb 3, 2026 By Ganesh Datta In Cortex

We know that AI has been transformational for engineering and it will continue to be, so stop me if this sounds familiar. Imagine an engineering lead opening a pull request for a critical security patch and finding five hundred lines of AI-generated code. While the solution is (mostly) usable, it follows a pattern no one on the team recognizes. This shift away from manually writing every line of logic has introduced a unique level of complexity for teams.
