Build a scalable internal developer portal with Backstage and CircleCI

Internal developer portals (IDPs) have become essential tools in platform engineering, helping standardize developer workflows and reduce friction by providing self-service access to tools, APIs, and infrastructure. During my time on a platform team, I experienced firsthand the transformative power of IDPs. Our team implemented custom solutions that significantly reduced load on developers, allowing them to focus on writing code rather than navigating complex infrastructure.

Super Mario & Platform Engineering? You'll Be Surprised!

What can Super Mario teach us about platform engineering? More than you'd think! At Civo Navigate San Francisco 2025, Ramiro Berrelleza, founder of Okteto, draws surprising parallels between one of gaming’s most iconic series and the world of platform engineering. Learn how building familiar, reliable foundations, just like Super Mario, can empower developers, foster innovation, and avoid constantly reinventing the wheel.

Why Should You Care About Endpoint Monitoring?

Modern applications rely on numerous interconnected endpoints to function properly. Maintaining visibility into these critical connection points is fundamental to both system reliability and security. When endpoints fail, degrade, or become compromised, the impact cascades to users, teams, and ultimately affects your bottom line. Effective endpoint monitoring provides the visibility needed to prevent these issues.

How Does OpenTelemetry Logging Work?

Modern systems throw off logs like confetti—and making sense of all that noise is half the battle. OpenTelemetry logging offers a way to bring some order to the chaos. It helps DevOps teams collect logs in a consistent format, no matter what language or framework they’re working with. In this guide, we’ll walk through what OpenTelemetry logging is, why it matters, and how to put it to work in your stack.

Lessons Learned in LLM Prompt Security: Securing AI with AI

AI is no longer just a buzzword. According to a 2024 McKinsey survey, 72% of companies now use AI in at least one area of their business. By 2027, nearly all executives expect their organizations to use generative AI for both internal and external purposes. However, with this rapid adoption comes significant security risks. As organizations rush to implement AI solutions, many overlook a critical vulnerability: prompt security.

OWASP CI/CD Top 10: Inadequate IAM

In the race to ship software faster, many teams have turned to automation, decentralised tools, and powerful pipelines. But lurking under the surface of these streamlined processes is a growing and often invisible Identity and Access Management (IAM) threat vector. — a core vulnerability in modern CI/CD security.

The Role of Observability in Modern DevOps Pipelines

DevOps has radically transformed how organizations build and deploy software, enabling faster delivery with greater reliability. Within this transformation, observability has emerged as a critical foundation for success. Unlike traditional monitoring that simply tracks known metrics, observability provides deep visibility into complex systems, allowing teams to understand and troubleshoot issues they couldn't anticipate. This shift represents much more than a technical evolution - it's a fundamental change in how organizations approach system health and performance.

Introducing BunnyHunt: The $1M Global Competition to Build, Ship, and Deploy Software at the speed of your creativity

In 2025, building software is no longer just about writing code. It’s about how fast you can turn ideas into reality. It’s about leveraging AI tools, using ephemeral cloud environments, and deploying at the speed of creativity. And now, it’s also about unlocking your share of $1,000,000 pool.

What Is Cloud Orchestration and Which Tools to Use

Cloud infrastructure management is a complicated task for organizations of all sizes. Infrastructure teams are increasingly asked to improve developer velocity, unlock access to different cloud platforms, and provide comprehensive visibility into cost and performance. Choosing the right cloud orchestration tool reduces the burden on infrastructure teams.
