How Redgate's Foundry is Shaping the Future of Database Innovation with AI

Learn how Redgate’s Foundry drives AI innovation in database management - from intelligent monitoring and ML-based automation, to smarter SQL optimization. In today’s rapidly evolving database landscape, innovation is essential. With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and automation, database management is undergoing one of its most significant transformations in decades.

Automated RAG pipeline evaluation and benchmarking with RAGAS

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines have become an integral part of how Large Language Models (LLMs) access information beyond their training cutoff. These pipelines enable LLMs to deliver current, accurate, and grounded responses. By fetching relevant external documents, RAG mitigates common LLM challenges like factual inaccuracies and hallucinations. However, this methodology introduces a new complexity: evaluating RAG pipeline performance is particularly challenging.

How I Made N8N Reliable With VPS Hosting in Europe

I've hosted n8n pretty much everywhere. Render, Railway, DigitalOcean droplets, even a self-inflicted Docker swarm that still haunts my sleep. Every time, something broke in a way that made me question my career choices. Cron jobs stopped firing, memory usage climbed like a fever, and webhooks randomly died at 3 a.m. Eventually I gave up and moved everything to a plain VPS. That's when things stopped being... stupid. If you're thinking about doing the same, get an n8n VPS hosting plan and save yourself the pain.

NHibernate vs ADO.NET: Which Is Better for .NET Development?

NHibernate vs ADO.NET is the classic clash in.NET development: raw SQL muscle on one side, high-level abstraction on the other. One promises speed and precision, the other productivity and cleaner code. For most.NET teams, the real challenge here is determining which approach best suits their project’s scale, timeline, and goals. That choice directly influences database efficiency, developer productivity, and long-term stability.

[WEBINAR] From Blueprint to Production: A Live Workshop for Creating an MCP Server for Kubernetes

In this hands-on workshop, we covered how to build your own MCP server from scratch and connect it to AI tools like Cursor IDE or Claude Desktop. The first half is a live coding session you can follow along with to set up an MCP server for Kubernetes troubleshooting. In the second half, we take you behind the scenes at Komodor to show how we built our MCP Server MVP: a powerful bridge between AI assistants and Kubernetes infrastructure. This is just part of the 'magic' that helps the Klaudia agentic AI technology power Komodor's AI SRE Platform.

The Rule Of 40: How To Calculate And Use It For SaaS

Many SaaS businesses prioritize customer acquisition and retention over increasing gross margins, particularly during the startup and scale-up stages. It makes sense. A company can accelerate its revenue growth by acquiring and retaining more new customers, rather than simply selling more to existing ones. Yet, here’s the thing. Revenue growth measures the increase in the amount of money a business earns from sales.

Switching from Jenkins to Bitbucket Pipelines | Bitbucket | Atlassian

This webinar presents the case of a customer who migrated from Bitbucket Data Center and Jenkins to Bitbucket Cloud and Bitbucket Pipelines. The customer migrated approximately 90 repositories and significantly reduced their operating costs. The webinar also briefly introduces the Atlassian migration tool for Jenkins that can convert Jenkinsfiles to bitbucket-pipelines.yml files.

Observability vs. Visibility: What's the Difference?

In modern IT systems—distributed services, cloud-native platforms, and dynamic networks—just knowing that something is “up” isn’t enough. Green checkmarks on dashboards don’t tell you why performance shifted, why latency crept in, or why a perfectly healthy-looking service suddenly failed. This is where the conversation around visibility and observability begins. They sound similar, but they solve very different problems.

The Hidden Cost of Running Cloud-Hosted SD-WAN for IaaS

There are three common ways to connect your branch locations to the cloud. We break down the benefits and limitations of each. Many enterprises are executing a strategy of cloud services first, followed by application modernization – including SD-WAN. Moving toward a cloud-native architecture using containerization, microservices, or serverless architectures like SD-WAN can lower costs over time, increase scalability, reduce development cycles, and speed up time to market.
