When it comes to IoT connectivity, it’s no longer enough for Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and Mobile Service Providers (MSPs) to provide coverage, capacity and SIM cards. As enterprises accelerate their digital transformation, the focus has shifted from basic connectivity to seamless, secure and scalable device-to-cloud integration.

In July 2024, DigiCert discovered they’d been issuing certificates with improper domain validation for five years. They gave customers 24 hours to replace 83,000 certificates. CISA issued an emergency alert. Critical infrastructure operators couldn’t meet the deadline. Some customers sued. That’s what mass revocation looks like in practice. The CA finds a compliance problem, the clock starts, and everyone scrambles. ACME Renewal Information (ARI) is the fix.

Today, we announce the release of HAProxy Fusion 2.0. This release marks a generational leap for the authoritative control plane that orchestrates HAProxy Enterprise’s high-performance application delivery and security. With a combination of new headliner features, structural changes, and improvements to the performance of the underlying API, HAProxy Fusion has jumped from version 1.3 to version 2.0.

Back in May of 2021, containers had already won. Kubernetes adoption was surging. ECS and EKS were powerful. But for many teams, deploying a simple containerized web service still meant stitching together clusters, networking rules, scaling policies, load balancers, IAM roles, and CI/CD pipelines. It felt heavier than it should. Developers no longer wanted more orchestration power. They wanted less operational drag.

A FinOps analyst walks into a Monday morning meeting with a detailed spreadsheet showing $2.3M in potential Kubernetes cost savings. The recommendations look straightforward: reduce memory limits by 40%, scale down replicas during off-peak hours, consolidate workloads onto fewer nodes. The numbers are compelling, the methodology is sound, and the savings would make a material impact on quarterly cloud spend. The SRE team immediately objects.

We are thrilled to announce a set of product updates across our dotConnect data providers and Entity Developer. The new release adds support for Entity Framework Core 10, introduces AI-focused vector data types across major databases, and extends compatibility with the newest platform capabilities such as SQL Server 2025, Oracle 26ai, and Microsoft Entra authentication.

Recent outages tied to AI-assisted code changes have pushed companies into a corner. After several incidents with massive “blast radius” impacts, organizations like Amazon introduced stricter controls—mandating that senior engineers manually review all AI-generated code before it hits production. That response makes sense on paper, but it exposes a fatal flaw in the modern development pipeline.

At a certain point, faster delivery stops feeling like progress and starts feeling like risk. When engineering teams scale from 10 to 50+ developers, the volume of infrastructure changes, database schemas, environment variables, and networking rules, no longer grows linearly. It scales exponentially. This is the scaling inflection point where manual governance breaks.
