Building a Pregnancy App You Can Actually Trust!

We never talk about pregnancy in the workplace. Maybe it's time to change that. Tech is still male-dominated, which creates a ripple effect: poor maternity policies, overworked expecting developers, and privacy-invasive apps that fail the people who need them most. But what happens when a developer decides to solve this problem themselves? Rizel built a pregnancy app she could actually trust. Not because existing solutions didn't exist, but because they weren't built with real privacy, real needs, and real developer insight in mind.

Open Source Cloud Orchestration Tools Compared

Before 2011, cloud infrastructure was still new. AWS had launched EC2 and S3 in 2006. But to deploy applications, engineers had to manually spin up servers, configure storage, and set up networking — all by hand or with custom scripts. There were early configuration management tools, such as Chef and Puppet, but those didn’t offer full cloud orchestration. Then in 2011, AWS launched AWS CloudFormation as the first major orchestration tool.

CEO Diaries: Not All AI Talent Is Alike

Navigating the geopolitical maze of digital sovereignty at Civo Navigate London 2025

Trust in Big Tech is eroding. Geopolitical tensions are rising. The only predictable thing about the cloud today is that it’s time to re-evaluate everything. At Civo Navigate London 2025, we pulled together a panel of industry experts to cut through the noise and finally define what digital sovereignty means for the UK.

OTel Updates: Consistent Probability Sampling Fixes Fragmented Traces

You're sampling 1% of traces in production. A payment request fails at 3 AM. Logs show an error in order-service, but the full picture isn't there because different services made different sampling decisions. order-service kept the trace; payment-service didn't. So you end up checking logs and timestamps across a few services to piece things together. This happens because the usual probability sampling approach makes a separate choice at each service boundary.
