Optimize your CI/CD pipeline with CircleCI Chunk AI agent

A slow CI/CD pipeline costs more than just time. Developers context-switch while waiting for builds, feedback loops stretch longer, and compute costs add up with every inefficient run. Most teams know their pipelines could be faster, but optimizing configurations requires deep knowledge of caching strategies, parallelism, and resource allocation. The challenge compounds with AI-assisted development. As AI coding assistants help teams ship code faster, pipelines run more frequently.

Refactor your codebase with CircleCI Chunk AI agent

d function there, and before long you’re navigating a codebase full of inconsistent patterns, repeated logic, and code that’s harder to maintain than it should be. Refactoring is essential, but finding the time to clean up code while shipping features is a constant challenge. The rise of AI-assisted development has accelerated this tension. AI coding assistants help teams ship features faster, but they don’t always produce consistent code.

How dbForge Edge Helps With Database Administration

Looking for a way to simplify database administration across multiple database systems and cloud services? In this video, you’ll learn how dbForge Edge helps DBAs, developers, and data architects manage databases more effectively across SQL Server, MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle, PostgreSQL, Amazon Redshift, and other platforms.

Let's Encrypt is moving to 45-day certificates before everyone else

The CA/Browser Forum set 47-day certificates as target for 2029. Let’s Encrypt decided to implement it a year earlier. In December 2025, Let’s Encrypt announced their roadmap to cut certificate lifetimes from 90 days to 45 days by February 2028, a full year ahead of the industry mandate. It’s exactly what we’d expect from the CA that made automation mandatory from day one.

How Deployment Pipelines Power Continuous Deployment

Let's be honest: everyone says they want continuous deployment. "Ship all the time! Move fast! Break absolutely nothing!" But the only reason any of that is even remotely possible is because of one unsung hero quietly doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes: Ah, the deployment pipeline - aka your code's obstacle course / gauntlet / walk in the park… depending on how well it's behaving.

Clustered Directors, Pipeline Debugging, and More Integrations

Over the past two months, VirtualMetric DataStream delivered a substantial update cycle focused on resilience, productivity, and platform extensibility. This release strengthens the core architecture, makes pipeline development and troubleshooting significantly easier, and expands integration coverage across schemas, SIEMs, and cloud platforms. Let’s take a closer look.

Actionable Network Device Monitoring with Automated Anomaly Detection and AI Troubleshooting

Network device monitoring is often a mess of polling, graphs, and alerts that don't lead to answers. In this webinar, we'll show how to monitor routers, switches, and firewalls in a way that quickly surfaces what matters: interface health, errors, drops, saturation, latency signals, and performance regressions—without drowning in noise. You'll learn how Netdata turns raw SNMP metrics into high-signal insights using automated anomaly detection and AI-assisted troubleshooting, so your team can move from 'something is wrong' to 'here's the root cause' faster.
