Why local internet traffic matters more than you think

Imagine sending a letter to your neighbour across the street, only for it to be routed through London or even Amsterdam before landing in their letterbox. This is effectively what happens to much of Scotland’s internet traffic. Despite physical proximity between users, businesses and services, digital data is frequently sent on needlessly long journeys, often leaving the country before reaching its destination.

Faster Code, Slower Delivery: The Agentic Coding Paradox in Regulated Enterprises

Imagine for a moment that agentic coding tools really do deliver on their promise. Code is written faster, tests are generated automatically, and refactors that once took days now take minutes. On paper, software delivery should accelerate dramatically. Now imagine you work in a regulated enterprise. The code is ready, but production is still days or weeks away.

The ROI of autonomous validation: How to unlock $1.8M in engineering value

Recently, we introduced autonomous validation as a new approach to CI/CD that brings adaptive, context-aware intelligence into the delivery pipeline. As AI increases both the volume and reach of code changes, teams are seeing more failures, longer queues, and rising maintenance costs. Traditional pipelines simply weren’t built for this level of velocity or variability.

Streamline Code Testing with Proxymock

Tired of complex setups and running out of memory just to test one component? Learn how to use Proxymock (a FREE tool) to solve your biggest testing headache: component isolation! This demo shows you how to record and mock interactions across a complex React, Golang, and PostgreSQL stack, allowing you to find bugs before they ever hit production. In This Demo: This strategy lets you easily isolate components, simulate customer behavior, and ensure quality with lightning-fast local testing.

How to Test Your React Frontend When the Backend Is Offline #speedscale #frontend #backend #coding

Software development is hard, especially when you have to ensure every component works together; it's an integration maze! And running a full stack (like React, Go, and Postgres) on your dev machine often means one thing: running out of memory! The Fix: We'll show you how to use Proxymock to record your components, effectively letting you run the frontend (or any component) completely isolated.

Ribbon & Comporium - A FiveYear Transformation to an AllIP Voice Network

From 2015 - 2020, Ribbon Communications and Comporium have partnered on a comprehensive modernization of Comporium’s voice infrastructure, replacing legacy switching systems with a fully IP‑based architecture built on Ribbon’s C20 Call Controller and Session Border Controllers (SBCs). This long‑term collaboration has enabled Comporium to enhance service reliability, streamline operations, and introduce a new generation of customer‑focused voice and unified communications offerings.

Heroku vs. Kubernetes

If you are deciding where to deploy a web app, you will almost always run into a choice between a platform like Heroku and running on Kubernetes. This article will compare Heroku and Kubernetes. They are two popular platforms for deploying and managing applications. This article breaks down the key differences in architecture, use cases, complexity, cost, and scalability to help engineers choose the right go-to platform for their needs.

Leading Open Source Teams w/ Daniel Roe

In this episode, Daniel Roe, Lead Maintainer of the Nuxt framework, discusses his journey from studying law and theology to leading a major open-source framework. He explains Nuxt's unique governance and how Nuxt manages contributions through volunteer-driven work, LLM-powered issue triage, and creating welcoming spaces for newcomers to open source. This week, our chat touches on a variety of topics including.

Why Release Control Takes Weeks

The industry standard for release control is painfully manual: long-form policy documents, ServiceNow forms, human approvals, meetings, and tickets that take days or even weeks to close. In this video, Mike Long (CEO & Co-founder, Kosli) explains the difference between manual release control and an automated, zero-trust model where evidence is collected automatically, provenance identifies the artifact, and approvals can be fully codified.
