Observability is a data problem

TL;DR Metrics, logs, and traces each have a different shape, so each needs a different backend. Aiven for Metrics handles metrics and alerting, Aiven for OpenSearch handles keyword search across logs, and Aiven for ClickHouse handles analysis of high-volume, high-cardinality events. All three are upstream open source engines on the same Aiven platform, so you can start with one and add the others as your needs change.

Inside a DevOps Team Extension engagement: an infrastructure review and a Typesense architecture session

How Qovery assessed a growing B2B SaaS company's infrastructure across about 150 controls, what the review with their team changed, and why a Typesense high-availability project turned into a sharding plan. Romaric founded Qovery to make Kubernetes accessible to every engineering team. He writes about platform strategy, developer experience, and the future of cloud infrastructure.

Replacing NGINX with Envoy Gateway on Hundreds of Clusters: What the Plan Missed

In February we planned to move every Qovery-managed cluster from ingress-nginx to Envoy Gateway by the end of March. It took until October. Here is the rollout model, every class of problem we hit, and what I would do differently. Benjamin is a staff engineer at Qovery focused on infrastructure automation, Kubernetes internals, and building the deployment engine that powers thousands of clusters.

DevOps Team Extension: Qovery engineers watching your infrastructure every month

DevOps Team Extension gives growing engineering teams a named Qovery engineer, a continuous infrastructure scan, and a monthly remediation plan, so they can scale reliability, security and compliance without hiring a DevOps team first. Romaric founded Qovery to make Kubernetes accessible to every engineering team. He writes about platform strategy, developer experience, and the future of cloud infrastructure.

SecureBridge 12.1, EntityDAC 4.1, and dbExpress drivers: Support for RAD Studio 13 Florence Release 2, SQL Server 2025, and MySQL 9.7

New versions of SecureBridge, EntityDAC, and dbExpress drivers are out. All three now work with RAD Studio 13 Florence Release 2 and offer improved support for the Arm64EC target platform. Devart dbExpress drivers also add support for Microsoft SQL Server 2025 and MySQL 9.7, while SecureBridge gains SFTP upload resume, multipart/form-data support, and a new SSL/TLS demo.

Elastic Introduces Elastic nightshift AI SRE to Investigate with the Full Context Others Can't Afford to Keep

The AI SRE uses complete context from across the entire stack to continuously detect issues and learn from every incident, delivering evidence-backed answers engineers can trust.

What Is RMM (Remote Monitoring and Management)?

RMM lets one small team look after thousands of machines nobody will ever physically touch. It grew up inside managed service providers. The whole category runs on agent-based monitoring, which means a small program sits on every endpoint and phones home on a schedule. That agent is also why attackers have taken such an interest lately. In this blog, you'll see: By the end you'll know what the category covers and where it stops. RMM stands for remote monitoring and management.

SSL Handshake Guide Covering Each Step and the Fixes That Prevent Outages

Why would a website that passes every uptime check still show customers a security warning? In most cases, the server is running and the network is healthy. The failure happens earlier, during the brief exchange in which the browser and the server agree on how to communicate securely. That moment is the SSL handshake. If it goes wrong, users get an error page while your dashboards stay green. Maybe a certificate expired; maybe a routine change left both sides on different protocol versions.

Meet Rosetta

During an incident, the answers an engineer needs are spread across tools. Telemetry sits in one place, configurations in another, and tickets in a third. Building a complete picture means knowing which tool holds which piece and how to query each one, usually under time pressure. Rosetta is the conversational interface for Selector Foundry, the agentic NetOps platform built on Selector’s existing AIOps and Observability solution.

How Configuration Monitoring Helps Detect Zero-Day Activity

Last updated: October 9, 2026 A zero-day vulnerability may be unknown, but its effects often are not. Exploitation can leave behind observable changes: a new privileged account, an altered management setting, an unexpected file, a modified access rule, or configuration drift from an approved baseline. That makes zero-day configuration monitoring an important part of a defense-in-depth strategy.
