This growth is mirrored in the live events market, which is experiencing a 15% YoY growth, fostering a stronger community and facilitating the exchange of ideas and innovation in the public cloud sector.

FinOps For AI: How Crawl, Walk, Run Works For Managing AI Costs

“It started as an experiment.” That’s how it begins at most companies. A small team spins up a few GPU instances to train a proof-of-concept model. Maybe it’s a fraud detection algorithm. Maybe it’s GenAI for support tickets. Either way, it’s just a test. Then the results come in, and they’re promising. Suddenly, that model is powering new features. Teams are fine-tuning LLMs in parallel.

How to Build Resilient Networks for AI Production Workloads

Production AI needs a network that can keep up. Learn why private, scalable connectivity is the key in our webinar recap with Vultr. AI is no longer a proof-of-concept hiding in a developer lab. It’s a full-fledged production workload, and it’s hungry for data. But as enterprises move their AI strategies from theory to reality, they’re hitting a wall that isn’t about algorithms or processing power – it’s about the network.

Building Better with DevOps: How to Optimize WordPress for Speed, Security, and Uptime

WordPress is powerful. It's easy to use, packed with plugins, and flexible enough for blogs, shops, or full-scale business sites. But under the hood, things can get messy. Especially if you're not thinking like a DevOps pro. For teams that want fast, secure, always-up websites, you need more than a pretty theme-you need smart systems behind it. That's where DevOps comes in. In this post, we'll explore how DevOps practices can level up your WordPress site-from speed and uptime to security and scalability.

Docker Layer Caching: Speed Up CI/CD Builds

Docker layer caching (DLC) is a powerful technique that can significantly accelerate your CI/CD pipelines. By reusing unchanged image layers across builds, DLC not only cuts down on build times but also reduces cloud costs and boosts developer productivity. In this article, we’ll break down how Docker layer caching works, how to implement it effectively, and how to combine it with ephemeral environments for maximum impact.

API Staging Is Not Production - But Speedscale Makes It Close

Staging environments are often looked at as the testing ground ahead of the “real” production environment. The idea is simple – build a duplicate of your production environment, run your tests, and ship with confidence. But the reality of using staging in the real world as part of a holistic API testing strategy is rarely that clean. No matter how meticulously you mirror production services, staging always falls a little short.

How to Get Grafana Iframe Embedding Right

Adding Grafana dashboards directly into your app lets users see monitoring data without switching tabs or tools. Using an iframe to embed Grafana does work, but it brings along some tricky authentication and security issues that aren’t always obvious at first. In this blog, we’ll go over the practical ways to embed Grafana dashboards from easy public snapshots to secure, private dashboards that need authentication.

Optimize LangChain Performance with Trace Analytics

You’ve instrumented your LangChain app, and traces are now flowing into Last9. Now the issues are visible: API costs are crossing $200/day, average response times exceed 3 seconds, and performance degrades under 100 concurrent users. A single tool call adds over 2 seconds. Bloated context windows are pushing up token usage, wasting $50/day. Here’s how to use trace data to identify and fix these inefficiencies, systematically and at scale.
