Groq vs. GPUs: The future of AI inference in 2026

Back in 2016, Jonathan Ross founded Groq, the AI chip startup, which went on to enter a non-exclusive licensing agreement with NVIDIA for Groq’s inference technology (as part of a $20 billion deal). The name ‘Groq’ is commonly confused with X (formerly Twitter)’s Grok, which was launched in 2023 as a Gen AI chatbot.

How to route incidents based on what their payload says

Every incident arrives with a payload, and that payload usually tells you far more than whether something broke. It points to which service is affected and how serious the issue looks. It also carries context about which customers are on the receiving end of that failure. The service name, severity, customer context — all of it can feed directly into routing decisions. This guide explores how to read those parts of the payload and use them to route incidents automatically.

Automating Employee Offboarding: Simplicity Just One Click Away

Employee offboarding looks simple from the outside. Someone gives notice, HR processes the paperwork, and IT handles the rest. In practice, "the rest" is where things get complicated.
