Control your dependencies in Flyway Desktop for Oracle and SQL Server Databases

This is a guest post from Stephanie Herr. One of Flyway’s biggest strengths is its ability to track your database schema as individual SQL DDL scripts on disk. This gives you full version control over every object, along with a complete audit trail of what changed, who changed it, when it changed, and why. For teams working with Oracle and/or SQL Server, this level of transparency is essential and this latest release provides even more support for how you handle changes across dependent objects.

Introducing Megaport High-Speed Cross-Cloud Encryption

Secure cloud traffic at line rate, without slowing your workloads down, thanks to Megaport’s new encryption solution. Securing data in motion is often a trade-off between performance and privacy, but most traditional encryption models struggle to find this balance – especially when you’re moving large volumes of data between clouds or across regions.

How to eliminate DevOps toil in regulated SaaS

In regulated industries like fintech, healthcare, and government, DevOps teams often find themselves acting as human compliance gateways. The pressure to maintain strict security standards while accelerating release cycles creates a compliance tax: a heavy burden of manual environment setups, security review tickets, and the inevitable scramble for evidence before an audit. This manual labor, or toil, is more than a drain on productivity. It creates a dangerous gap between policy and actual operations.

AI SRE in Practice: Diagnosing AWS CNI IP Exhaustion Before Widespread Outage

IP address exhaustion in Kubernetes doesn’t announce itself with clear error messages. Pods fail to schedule, services degrade unpredictably, and the symptoms look like a dozen different problems before anyone realizes the cluster has run out of available IP addresses. By the time the root cause becomes clear, multiple services are affected and recovery requires coordination across infrastructure layers.

BygoneSSL happened to us

A few months ago I wrote about BygoneSSL and the 1.5 million domains with valid certificates owned by someone else. Domains change hands but certificates don’t know. The old owner keeps their private key, and the certificate keeps working. It’s an industry problem, but it turns out it’s our problem too. We purchased certkit.dev for internal development and demos.

Introducing Konstruct: GitOps-powered IDP in minutes

"I wish I knew about this a couple years ago..." Over my seven years as a cofounder, I've heard some version of that line more than any other. Usually, it comes at the end of a demo to someone who has spent a year getting to something not even close to what they're seeing on my screen. The story is always the same. An organization adopts Kubernetes and arrives at the inevitable conclusion that they need a platform.

Scaling Infrastructure Teams: The Increasing Need for Rust Engineers

The Infrastructure teams have had to continuously improve current systems to make them faster, safer, and more reliable. With the growth of cloud services, the complexity of applications, and the demand for low-latency processing, engineering teams still need the best tools and languages to build these systems. The traditional languages that have been used for decades to power system-level development, i.e., C, C++, and Java, have long been the standard. But as software system complexity becomes unsustainable, the factors that limit safety, memory management, and concurrency are becoming increasingly obvious.

Oracle JDK to OpenJDK: A Guide to Reliable Migration Testing

One of the most common infrastructure changes Java developers and operators are dealing with today is the migration from Oracle Java to OpenJDK. The reason is the licensing changes made by Oracle and the maturity of the OpenJDK distributions. The migration process is quite simple: replace the JDK, recompile the code, and redeploy the application. However, the differences between the two runtimes can lead to unexpected issues that are not caught by unit tests.

Speedscale Named in Gartner Market Guide for API Testing

In the highly dynamic environment of modern engineering, an appropriate strategy for API quality is more important than ever. We are pleased to announce that Speedscale has been named in the latest “Market Guide for API and MCP Testing Tools” report from Gartner. As software development is shifting towards complex distributed architectures, integrating Model Context Protocol (MCP) for AI-based workflows, the need for realistic testing has never been higher.

#053 - The Road to Distributed AI and Kubernetes Infrastructure with Matt Butcher (Fermyon) & Ari...

They share their professional origins, highlighting how Kubernetes transitioned from a complex tool for experts to a foundational technology for global enterprises.. Part of the conversation focuses on the history of Helm, explaining its growth from a simple hackathon project into a standard package manager. Another part takes on the future of distributed computing, specifically how Akamai is integrating infrastructure as a service to support modern workloads.
