OTel Updates: Unroll Processor Now in Collector Contrib

Some log sources bundle multiple events into a single record before shipping them. This is common with VPC flow logs, CloudWatch exports, and certain Windows endpoint collectors. While this batching approach is efficient for transport, it creates challenges when you need to filter, search, or correlate individual events. When a log record contains an array of 47 events, your analytics tool sees one entry instead of 47 distinct records.

Marginal Cost Explained: The KPI Every SaaS CFO Cares About (But You Rarely Track)

Ask a SaaS team how they measure cloud efficiency, and you’ll hear familiar things. Total cloud spend. Average cost per customer. Maybe a breakdown of spend by service. All useful, but rather wobbly. Now ask, “What does it cost you to serve one more customer?” That’s when the room goes quiet. And that’s often where cloud economics gets really wobbly. Because that number, your marginal cost, is what actually determines your margins. Not your total cloud bill.

Scaling with Wildcard Certificates: Why Modern Infrastructure Benefits

Managing TLS certificates at scale is one of those operational tasks that starts simple and quickly grows into a sprawling problem. As organizations adopt microservices, multi-tenant architectures, and globally distributed load balancers, the number of domains and subdomains they support can expand dramatically. Each certificate then requires its own lifecycle management: Wildcard certificates offer a powerful solution to this growing complexity.

Secure by Default: Why AI-Driven Delivery Needs a Rethink

AI speeds delivery but expands risk. Teams need context, verification, behavior detection, and learning to stay secure by default. Software delivery has been accelerating for more than a decade, and the arrival of AI has pushed us into an entirely new velocity class. Code generation, configuration scaffolding, infrastructure suggestions, remediation hints, and deployment decisions now involve AI. It participates in every stage of the delivery pipeline. On the surface, this feels like progress.
