Storage and Story: Why Artifact Repositories Need Provenance

An artifact repository like JFrog Artifactory is a cornerstone of modern DevOps. It stores binaries, versions, and release bundles — your complete “what.” But when audits or incidents happen, the question quickly shifts from what to how: “How did this artifact get here — and can we trust it?” If all you have is a warehouse of files, you’re left scrambling to reconstruct the story. You check pipeline logs. You pull test results. You cross-reference approvals.

Need more juice? resources:set. Done.

Scaling your application shouldn’t feel like open-heart surgery. It should feel like flipping a switch. Watch your environment adapt in real time. Horizontal scaling. Vertical scaling. One command. Done. You do not want another war room. You want a clear way to add capacity when traffic increases, without editing and testing complex YAML files for hours or manually rolling out scripts across clusters.

Building the Future of Software Delivery Controls: Inside the FINOS SDLC Governance Working Group

In October, technologists from across the financial industry gathered in New York for OSFF 2025 where the general theme was clear: open collaboration has moved from promises to proof. Projects like Fluxnova and OpenGris showed how institutions can build shared, production-grade infrastructure. The Common Cloud Controls and AI Governance Framework demonstrated that regulatory assurance can be achieved collaboratively, not competitively.

Build Your Kubernetes Monitoring Foundation with kube-prometheus-stack

When you run Kubernetes at scale, one of the first challenges is understanding what the cluster is actually doing. Workloads shift around, pods restart for normal reasons, and traffic doesn't always follow the patterns you expect. Having clear signals makes day-to-day operations much easier. That's where kube-prometheus-stack helps. It brings Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager, and supporting components together as a single package.

Cascading Failures Aren't Inevitable: Lessons from the AWS DNS Outage

AWS outages grab headlines because they affect millions, but the root cause often comes down to something invisible: DNS failures and cascading service dependencies. The complexity of modern cloud systems, combined with the advanced technology powering platforms like AWS, makes these outages particularly challenging to diagnose and resolve. The recent AWS outage proves one thing: you can't prevent every DNS issue, but you can create resilient architectures and prevent a single failure from taking down your entire service if you test for it.

Devart ODBC Drivers Get Major Update With GUI for macOS/Linux, PostgreSQL 18 Support, and Enhanced Security

Part 3: Building a Production-Grade Traffic Capture and Replay System

At a previous company, we had over 100 microservices. I’d make what seemed like a simple change to one service and deploy it, only to discover it broke something completely unrelated. A change to the user service would break checkout. An update to notifications would break reporting. We spent more time fixing unexpected bugs than shipping features. The problem was our test scenarios were too simple.

OTel Updates: OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation (OBI) Hits Alpha

Some parts of a system don’t lend themselves to quick instrumentation changes. You might have a production binary that hasn’t been rebuilt in years, or a stack made of several languages where each team manages telemetry differently. In those situations, getting consistent signals often means touching code you’d rather leave alone or coordinating updates across many services. OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation (OBI) approaches this from the kernel side.
