In today’s era of AI-powered transformation, the excitement around automation is palpable. Technology leaders race to deploy AI agents, build self-healing systems, and create digital environments that seem almost magical in their seamlessness. But amid all the buzz about automation and efficiency, it’s crucial we don’t lose sight of the most powerful force behind any successful transformation: people.

Automating SDLC Governance is one of our key use cases. Kosli gathers all of the evidence your engineering teams need for change management and audit by recording every step in their SDLC, from commit to production, across all of their CI/CD tools. But robust SDLC governance doesn’t just depend on gathering all the necessary data - it also depends on controlling who can add to that data. And that’s exactly what our new access control feature solves.

The rapid advancement of generative AI has brought with it new challenges and complexities - particularly when it comes to networking. As organisations globally rush to leverage large language models (LLMs) to transform their operations, it’s imperative to understand that AI isn’t just about algorithms and data science, it’s also about the network that underpins it all.

Python powers critical applications across countless organizations, from data processing pipelines to web services that handle millions of requests. While Python's readability and extensive ecosystem make it a developer favorite, its performance characteristics require thoughtful monitoring. As systems grow in complexity, understanding what's happening inside your Python applications becomes increasingly important.

Kubernetes production environments require robust alerting to catch problems before they impact users. While monitoring shows system state, proper alerting tells you when something needs attention. This guide outlines 15 key Kubernetes alerts that help DevOps teams avoid outages and minimize downtime. For each alert, we provide implementation guidance and troubleshooting steps to resolve common issues quickly.

I’ve written about the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) on our Canonical blog a few times now, and I think now’s the perfect time to talk about the implications of this new regulation and what it means for IoT and device manufacturers on the practical level of how they design and build Products with Digital Elements (PDEs).

As more teams rely on public repositories in their software supply chain, the dependency chain has become both a critical foundation and a potential blind spot. Dependency chain abuse is not new, but a growing list of attack vectors - like typosquatting, dependency confusion, and now slopsquatting - means security leaders need to respond quickly as attackers adopt new techniques.

When you’re up and running with FireHydrant, there’s no better incident management experience out there. We built it that way — fast, intuitive, reliable when it matters most. Now, the first five minutes are just as streamlined and enjoyable as the rest. We rebuilt our onboarding flow from the ground up and cut setup time by over 90% in the process. With the new onboarding experience, you get a guided experience to connect your tools and get the most out of FireHydrant.

I’m delighted to share that you can now run Redgate Monitor’s data repository on PostgreSQL with TimescaleDB, achieving dramatically improved performance and scalability at reduced cost.
