Fresh from AWS re:Invent: Supercharging HAProxy Community with AWS-LC Performance Packages

The timing couldn’t have been better. Last week, the tech world descended on Las Vegas for AWS re:Invent. It was the perfect venue to talk about cloud infrastructure, scale, and the future of application delivery.

OTel Updates: OpenTelemetry Proposes Changes to Stability, Releases, and Semantic Conventions

Over the past year, the Governance Committee ran user interviews and surveys with organizations deploying OpenTelemetry at scale. A few patterns came up consistently: Stability levels aren't always obvious. When you install an OTel distribution, some components might be experimental or alpha without clear markers. This makes it harder to evaluate what's production-ready. Instrumentation libraries sometimes wait on semantic conventions.

SaaS Architecture Fundamentals: Design Principles, Best Practices, And Examples

As an engineer, engineering leader, or CTO, your architectural choices shape how fast your team builds products and how efficiently you manage technology costs. Your architecture determines how much control you have over data, infrastructure, and customization. The Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model is one of the most common ways to deliver software reliably to users anywhere.

Why Cloud-Based Startups Dominate

If you've been following developments in the business world, you will have noticed that cloud-based startups are dominating. But why is this? Why is almost every new unicorn a business that's in the cloud that appears on people's iPhones? Why isn't it something in the physical world? That's the topic we're going to discuss in this article.

Expert Insight: Why Carrier Neutral Data Centres Give UK Businesses Greater Network Control

The demands placed on digital infrastructure have changed. As businesses expand across regions, adopt cloud platforms, and face stricter compliance requirements, networks must evolve just as fast as the workloads they support. The rise of AI, distributed teams, and latency-sensitive applications has made agility a central requirement for performance and resilience. Without it, costs rise, migrations slow, and continuity becomes harder to guarantee.

How to Build Microservices With ASP.NET Core and EF Core

When a monolithic app starts to hit its limits, microservices are often the next step forward. They let you scale only what’s under pressure, keep changes local, and give teams the freedom to deploy on their own schedule. It’s no wonder the market for microservices is growing fast, from $1.93 billion in 2024 to a projected $11.36 billion by 2033. So how do you build microservices? In.NET, the process is surprisingly straightforward.

Gamifying FinOps (And CloudZero) For Better Adoption

In our increasingly online world, managing cloud, AI, and other tech spend has shifted from a good idea to an absolute necessity. But even when cost management is a priority, how do you get busy development teams and engineers actively engaged in the new practices? New initiatives are often viewed as more work on the team’s plate, which is an understandable deterrent to adoption. That leaves FinOps proponents struggling to get others on board.
