Building a .NET PostgreSQL MCP Server for Claude Desktop

Querying PostgreSQL in plain English is no longer a futuristic idea; it’s something you can build today. With a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, Claude Desktop connects securely to external systems, including databases, through a structured interface. Here, MCP acts as the bridge between Claude and PostgreSQL, allowing it to run queries, explore schemas, and return results instantly in Markdown. This guide walks you through building that bridge in C#.

Accelerating Cloudnative Development & DevOps

Cloud-native development, and the resultant rise of DevOps, has transformed how software is built, deployed, and maintained. By embracing containerization, microservices, and continuous delivery, organizations have been able to deliver features faster, scale with demand, and recover from failures more gracefully than ever before. Many organizations are adopting these practices to keep up with industry demands and improve efficiency and security. But this speed and flexibility come with a significant cost - complexity.

From Feathers to Fiber: The Fast Lane of Battlefield Intel

Carrier pigeons once flapped through war zones with vital messages. Today? Sensor fusion delivers battlefield intel faster than thought. The fight isn’t just about who has the data, it’s about who moves on it first. Speed wins wars now! Read how it’s changing the game, how deployable command and control (C2) nodes can help, and why network slicing is a key ingredient in building a resilient, high-speed transport network: Carrier Pigeons to Sensor Fusion: Speed Matters in Information.

The Blind Spots That Haunt Legal IT

In a recent survey, Udacity’s team explored the evolving landscape of AI adoption by asking 2000 professionals (including those in the legal sector) if they used AI. Unsurprisingly, over 90% of respondents said they did. More concerning, 72% of managers reported personally paying out of pocket for AI tools to use at work, introducing uncontrolled risk into corporate environments.

8 IT Issues You Can Fix with Pulseway Mobile App

If you have worked in IT for more than five minutes, you know Murphy’s Law: anything that can go wrong will go wrong sooner or later (sometimes at the worst possible time). Systems do not wait for you to finish your coffee, much less for you to get back to your desk. So, yes, we know your pain. That is why more IT pros are leaning on mobile tools–like Pulseway RMM Mobile App–to stay ahead of problems instead of scrambling back to the office or dragging around a laptop everywhere.

The real reason your AI initiatives are failing

AI has made it faster and easier to change a codebase than ever before. But in a system as complex and interdependent as modern software delivery, writing code has never been the biggest challenge. For most teams, the real constraint is getting that code safely into production. So while AI assistants and autonomous coding agents have dramatically accelerated the pace of change, for many organizations those changes are piling up against bottlenecks that were already slowing them down.

Reliability means smooth on-call and a strong team

True reliability is when your engineers have confidence in their systems and their teams. Full transcript: Reliability to me means my on-call shift is gonna be smooth because everybody is making the attempts to be smart about the type of code that we're writing. And we're regularly testing to make sure that our system has redundancy and can withstand latency spikes, it can withstand resource spikes.

Introducing PostgreSQL Static Data in Flyway

One kind of data in most relational databases is what we call static data. This is also referred to as lookup data, code data, domain data or even list data. Whatever you like to call it, it’s usually smaller data sets consisting of data that never changes, or changes very slowly. One example might be Canadian postal codes. Another example, and one I’m going to use, is the amateur radio band definitions within a given country.
