Smarter AI Cost Optimization With Guardrails That Scale

AI adoption is reshaping how organizations innovate. It’s also driving cloud costs higher. CloudZero’s State Of AI Costs In 2025 report finds that for mature FinOps and engineering leaders, visibility into AI costs is a critical first step, but it’s not enough. To enable fast, responsible AI and machine learning innovation at scale, teams need pragmatic, flexible guardrails. They don’t need rigid budgets or knee-jerk shutdowns that slow progress or push teams into shadow ML.

How to Connect Jaeger with Your APM

Microservices make it tough to understand how applications behave end-to-end. Most teams already rely on an Application Performance Monitoring (APM) tool to track system health. But as requests move across many services, you also need distributed tracing. Jaeger gives you that visibility. The real value comes from connecting the two. Instead of running APM and Jaeger in silos, you can combine their strengths, metrics from your APM, and traces from Jaeger, to get a clearer view of performance.

Feature Spotlight: PostGres Mocking #speedscale #postgres #postgresql

Struggling with integration testing because of a Postgres database dependency? Testing can feel impossible when you need to replicate realistic data in Postgres. That’s where Speedscale’s Postgres Mocking Tool comes in. Speedscale drops a recorder into your live system, observes all Postgres traffic, and shows you the actual sequence of statements and responses—making it easier than ever to test reliably.

ECS Vs. EKS Vs. Fargate: AWS Container Services Compared

Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides more than 200 services. Among those, Amazon Elastic Compute Service (ECS), Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), and AWS Fargate help deploy and manage containers. Choosing between these services can be challenging. They seem similar on the surface (and are all popular). But each offers unique benefits and limitations. In this guide, we compare the three services, discussing the best use cases for each, and helping you choose the best fit for your business.
