Got Drift? Redgate Flyway now helps you resolve it quicker

Teams work on databases across multiple environments (e.g., Development, Test, QA/UAT, Production) and differences can happen in these databases over time. A hot fix applied directly to Production or a quick change applied in Test while troubleshooting are examples of how the schema can diverge from what’s expected. These differences are known as drift and can cause problems with deployments making them unpredictable and harder to troubleshoot.

Accelerating Automotive Infotainment with Anbox Cloud

In this video, discover how Canonical and Rightware are revolutionizing the automotive software development lifecycle. This demo showcases an automated workflow that deploys Anbox Cloud, spins up an Android Automotive image, and launches a Rightware Kanzi-powered UI that can be streamed at a stunning 8K resolution. By shifting infotainment testing to a cloud-native environment, automotive teams can accelerate iteration, enhance collaboration, and ensure high-performance user interfaces before they ever hit the physical hardware.

Should you still pay for SSL certificates?

There’s a particular flavor of skepticism that shows up whenever someone suggests using Let’s Encrypt. The security team crosses their arms. “Free certificates? For production? We’re a serious organization. We use Sectigo.” I get it. You’ve been buying certificates from the same vendors for twenty years. They send you invoices, you pay them, certificates appear. It feels responsible, and free feels like a trap. But is it?

Supercharge your LLM Using Production Data Context

Are your LLM coding agents (like Cursor or Claude Code) hallucinating fixes because they don't know what's actually happening in production? In this video, Matt from Speedscale shows you how to bridge the gap between your local IDE and live production traffic using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Most observability tools just give you telemetry. Speedscale’s MCP server gives your agent the "inner workings" of actual API calls and payloads, so it can check its assumptions against reality. No more "vibe-coding" and hoping it works; let your agent find the 500 errors and rate limits for you.

Production readiness review checklist & best practices

Modern software systems are more distributed, complex, and business-critical than they've ever been. A single misconfigured service can take down an entire platform. Teams are aiming for production readiness, which is the state where your services are secure, reliable, observable, and owned. Production Readiness Reviews (PRRs) are one of the key mechanisms to get there.
