Aug 19, 2026 By Upsun In Upsun
When you choose a cloud platform, you're entrusting a provider with sensitive business information, customer data, critical applications, and a growing share of your operational resilience. Increasingly, you are also entrusting it with AI. And that changes the questions you should be asking. Marketing claims cannot answer these questions. Independent evidence can.

The infrastructure work you should not have to touch just to ship a feature

Aug 19, 2026 By Upsun In Upsun
You wrote the feature. It works locally. Then you spend the next two hours on things that have nothing to do with the feature: a Terraform plan that wants to replace a database you didn't touch, a Kubernetes manifest that needs a new ingress rule, an IAM policy that's one permission short of what the deploy needs. None of this is the job. All of it is the job today. Here's what that list actually looks like, and why none of it should be sitting on your plate.

The Waiting Game for Data Centre Capacity (And How UK Businesses Can Beat It)

Aug 18, 2026 By Pulsant In Pulsant
UK data centre occupancy hit 91% in 2024, according to Arizton market data, and new capacity is not arriving fast enough to close the gap. Grid connection wait times for new projects now run between five and 15 years, reports Data Center Dynamics, and Savills has attributed the 11% year-on-year drop in new capacity delivery to power constraints rather than a lack of demand or investment. Rising wholesale energy costs are addingpressure to an already tight market.

What build-versus-buy actually looks like in agentic engineering

Aug 18, 2026 By Upsun In Upsun
Most build-versus-buy debates assume you're choosing once, at the start, and living with it. Agentic engineering doesn't work that way. The decision shows up at every layer of the stack, and the teams getting it right aren't the ones who picked "build" or "buy" as a philosophy. They're the ones who know which layer is which.

Trace AWS Lambda durable functions with Datadog

Aug 18, 2026 By Datadog In Datadog
AWS Lambda durable functions let you build long-running, multi-step workflows for use cases such as payment processing, order fulfillment, and AI workflows with human approval. A single durable execution can pause for a wait or callback, retry failed work, and resume in a fresh Lambda invocation without losing its state. The strong resilience provided by durable executions, however, creates an observability challenge because each invocation produces its own telemetry data.

Aug 18, 2026 By Kaitlin Woo In CloudZero
Instead of building a separate role for every team, region, or department, admins can create a single role that automatically personalizes access for each user based on their SSO attributes. Someone moves teams or a new group gets created, and the new access takes effect at their next login with no CloudZero configuration. As AI spend grows, more companies are looking to give teams visibility into their own AI costs without exposing every individual’s usage across the org.
