ROI of Digital Twin Testing: Cut Testing Costs by 50%

Jan 20, 2026 By Ken Ahrens In Speedscale
When engineering leaders review their cloud bills, they often focus on production costs—the infrastructure serving real users, processing real transactions, generating real revenue. But there’s a shadow cost lurking in every cloud environment that often goes unnoticed until it becomes painful: non-production infrastructure.

Digital Twins Gone Wild: My Unexpected AI Doppelgänger

Jan 20, 2026 By Alan Mon In Speedscale
I recently tried using AI to create a digital twin of myself. I uploaded a photo, expecting a futuristic, slightly improved version of me... and what did I get in return? A picture of Kim Jong Un. Clearly, AI has a sense of humor-or a very different definition of "twin." Forget Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito. Digital Twins 2-Now Starring My AI Doppelgänger From Speedscale's perspective, a digital twin is built from real production traffic, continuously updated, and executable in your test and CI/CD environments.

Moving Our Observability Data Collector from Sidecars to eBPF

Jan 20, 2026 By Matthew LeRay In Speedscale
For years, the Kubernetes sidecar pattern has been a practical way to capture observability data. Running a collector alongside each application pod gave us deep visibility into traffic, including full request and response payloads across supported protocols. However, as cloud-native environments have grown more complex, the limitations of sidecars—such as resource overhead, operational complexity, and scaling challenges—have become more apparent.

Evidence, Not Screenshots. How Teams Stay Always Audit-Ready in ServiceNow

Jan 20, 2026 By Bruce Johnston In Kosli
In regulated environments, slow change is often blamed on process. Too many approvals. Too much governance. Too much red tape. But in reality, most delays are not caused by regulation itself. They are caused by missing, fragmented, or untrusted evidence. Screenshots pasted into tickets. Proof assembled weeks later. Approvals stalled because no one can confidently say whether a change actually meets policy. When evidence is an afterthought, compliance turns into chaos.

Evidence, Not Screenshots

Jan 20, 2026 By Kosli In Kosli
In regulated environments, slow change is often blamed on process. In reality, it’s caused by missing, fragmented, or untrusted proof. Screenshots. Tickets. Manual approvals. Evidence assembled after the fact. In this video, we show what changes when compliance policies are embedded directly into release workflows — and when immutable, machine-readable evidence is captured automatically across CI/CD.

ServiceNow Without the Ticket Hell

Jan 20, 2026 By Kosli In Kosli
ServiceNow is the system of record for change and approvals in most regulated enterprises. But when evidence lives elsewhere — scattered across CI tools, scanners, tickets, and screenshots — approvals slow down and audits become painful. Developers waste hours chasing proof. CABs approve changes without confidence. Auditors reconstruct history months later. In this video, Matt Bailey shows what changes when evidence is produced continuously, directly from the delivery pipeline, and linked into ServiceNow workflows.

Delegated DNS validation: proving domain ownership without exposing credentials

Jan 20, 2026 By Todd H. Gardner In CertKit
It seems like every service wants proof you control your domain. Certificate authorities need it to issue certificates. Email platforms need it to authorize sending. Analytics needs it to gather data. Just add this magic TXT record to your DNS, wait for propagation, click verify. It works fine when it’s a one-time setup, but certificate lifetimes are dropping to 47 days, and you won’t be able to keep up on that schedule.
