AWS Fargate Alternatives: Comparing Serverless Container Options

Oct 31, 2025 By Rachel Whitener In CloudZero

Imagine you have an API service composed of multiple microservices. Traffic fluctuates — sometimes light, sometimes spiking. Without Fargate, you’d have to manage EC2 instances, autoscaling, patching, and more. With Fargate, you define each microservice as a task, setting the CPU/memory, container image, network rules, and AWS schedules, and then run them as needed. The result: faster deployment, lower ops overhead, and smooth scaling.

Automating your synthetic test infrastructure with Datadog Synthetic Monitoring and Terraform

Oct 31, 2025 By Addie Beach In Datadog

Testing ecosystems contain massive amounts of data, including outlined test scenarios, prerequisite configurations, and the tests themselves. As a result, these ecosystems are prone to data sprawl. This makes it difficult to prevent configuration drift and quickly spin up new tests, especially at the frequency needed to support a fast-growing application. Teams can handle these challenges by treating their tests as part of their application infrastructure.

The Right Way to Deliver Infrastructure: Every Deploy Comes with Guardrails

Oct 31, 2025 By Jimmy Herbert In env0

In fast-moving organizations, developers are expected to ship quickly. Infrastructure shouldn’t be a blocker, but it can’t become a liability either. One unchecked terraform apply, a missing tag, or a misconfigured instance can turn into a surprise bill, a failed audit, or even a production outage. The most reliable way to manage infrastructure at speed is to make governance part of the delivery process.
