During International Women’s Month, we celebrate women whose technical work changed entire industries. But the lessons from engineers like Margaret Hamilton aren’t seasonal, they’re fundamental to how we should approach software development every single day. Margaret coined the term “software engineering” and built the code that landed humans on the moon. Her approach to rigor is as relevant to your next Git commit as it was to Apollo 11’s descent engine.

Most engineering teams don’t migrate their on-call and paging systems unless absolutely necessary. No matter how painful their current solution, it's one of those changes that people put off for as long as possible because the cost is real. The disruption, the retraining, the risk of missing a critical page during the transition. It's not something you do on a whim.

Today, we’re excited to introduce the beta release of MicroCloud Cluster Manager, a new way to discover, organize, and operate your MicroCloud environments from a single, unified interface. MicroCloud is an open source cloud platform that makes it simple to create lightweight, resilient clusters anywhere. As teams scale from one cluster to many, visibility and coordination quickly become essential. Cluster Manager is built to solve exactly that.

How platform and SRE teams are using Mezmo's open-core agent framework — with any LLM, any tools, any observability backend.

Engineering teams are shipping faster than ever. AI coding tools like Claude Code and OpenAI’s Codex have quietly removed some of the biggest friction points in the development cycle — and the result is that FinOps teams are being asked to keep up with a pace most practitioners haven’t fully reckoned with yet. That acceleration has a cost consequence. More shipping means more services, more experiments, more infrastructure spun up without review cycles.
