Store Docker images in Bitbucket with Bitbucket Packages | Bitbucket Blitz | Atlassian

In this video, I’ll show you how to store your Docker images directly in Bitbucket using Bitbucket Packages, so your code, CI/CD, and container images all live in one place. Bitbucket Packages is a native Docker registry for Bitbucket. By keeping your images alongside your repositories and pipelines, you can reduce tech stack complexity and enhance your security posture by managing permissions in a single system, rather than juggling yet another external registry, such as Docker Hub or Artifactory.

Harnessing the potential of 5G with Kubernetes: a cloud-native telco transformation perspective

Telecommunications networks are undergoing a cloud-native revolution. 5G promises ultra-fast connectivity and real-time services, but achieving those benefits requires an infrastructure that is agile, low-latency, and highly reliable. Kubernetes has emerged as a cornerstone for telecom operators to meet 5G demands.

The rhythm of reliability: inside Canonical's operational cadence

In software engineering, we often talk about the “iron triangle” of constraints: time, resources, and features. You can rarely fix all three. At many companies, when scope creeps or resources get tight, the timeline is often the first element of the triangle to slip. At Canonical, we take a different approach. For us, time is the fixed constraint. This isn’t just about strict project management. It is a mechanism of trust.

The Indirect Cost Trap: Why Your Margins Look Better Than They Are (And How To Fix It)

When a SaaS company scales, something curious happens. The cloud bill grows. One team swears it’s Kubernetes. Another blames the Black Friday promo. But when you’re unsure whether that increase is tied to healthy SaaS growth or simply overspending, your margins are already at risk. That gap between what’s spent and what’s understood is where indirect costs live. Yet these costs rarely show up in dashboards. Well, until it’s too late.

FinOps Insights for IT Leaders

FinOps insights for IT leaders often focus on cloud spend, but IT leaders know that real cost drivers extend across hybrid environments. Achieving clarity requires more than budget reports. It requires understanding how workloads behave over time, how performance and capacity shift, and where visibility gaps hide operational and financial risk. To support those efforts, we sat down with Tim Conley, creator of Galileo, to explore practical FinOps insights for IT leaders.

Tracking Azure SQL changes with Azure Functions and CI/CD automation

Imagine being able to automatically detect when a high-value order is placed, then log it and notify your sales team – without manually accessing your app code. Azure SQL Trigger Functions make this possible. By automating the response to database changes as they happen, you can streamline operations, sync data, and power workflows in near real-time. Azure SQL Triggers, especially when combined with serverless functions, offers a powerful, low-maintenance way to respond to real-time data changes.

Outdated Python Could Be Costing You More Than You Think

Python is deeply embedded in modern infrastructure, but many organizations continue to run outdated Python across critical systems. Sticking with older runtimes may seem harmless, but it quickly piles up technical debt as teams spend more time maintaining fragile code and applying workarounds. Over time, that debt translates into a high financial drain.

Marginal Cost for Engineers: 10 Architecture Decisions That Secretly Inflate Your Costs

A few months back, a backend team at a fast-growing SaaS company shipped what seemed like a harmless feature. Just a simple request validation layer. No new service. No major dependencies. No architectural shock. Yet two months later, their cloud costs had climbed 38% without any significant increase in traffic, storage, or compute load. What they’d missed was that the validation layer triggered a fan-out pattern.
