Compare air-gapped and private network backup approaches for ransomware defense, data protection, and secure recovery. Ransomware doesn’t stop at production data. Attackers are increasingly targeting the backups organizations depend on for recovery, turning a manageable incident into a much longer outage. These attacks make the choice between air-gapped and private network backup important — but it isn’t an either-or decision.

Application development and operations teams are adopting AI coding tools at an exponentially increasing rate, from a rounding error of 6% of code output by AI in 2023, to as much as 51%-75% for a majority of enterprises. Agents are making pull requests (PRs) faster than human developers could have ever dreamed. As features are pushed to market faster, there’s a sharp increase in production incidents, with 80% of development shops specifically tracing production outages to AI.

Today we're launching Foresight AI, Gremlin’s agentic resilience product that analyzes and tests your systems for potential failures, fixes them, and verifies reliability at the speed of AI. I've spent most of my career on call. At Amazon and Netflix, I served as a Call Leader, the person running the bridge when something big broke. Those years taught me the same lesson we founded Gremlin on: the best incident is the one that never happens.

Picture a Monday at 03:10 UTC. An agent investigating an out-of-memory alert on payment-service works out the pattern: it runs out of memory every Monday between 03:00 and 04:00, and the spike lines up with the batch reconciliation job. The next Monday the alert fires again. A different agent picks it up and starts from zero, because nothing it can see holds what the first one learned.

SharePoint sites read-only because storage is full: the exact messages, what Microsoft documents, why buying storage may not unlock it, and how to free space.

Most people who open CloudZero care about one slice of the spend, like their team, their product, or their region. A View gives them that slice in one click, with the grouping and filters already set, so nobody has to rebuild the same Explorer query every week. Views now work for everyone in your organization, including people with scoped access.

Assessing the cost of a database monitoring tool isn't always straightforward. The quick reaction is to solely assess costs on a license-for-license basis.

Most customers start CertKit with SSL host monitoring. On day one, you point CertKit at the systems you already run and get every certificate and when it expires. You start with confidence that you have everything under control. Then, you automate, letting CertKit take over the certificates as they need to be renewed. Each renewal is the last time you ever have to worry about that certificate.

Before you can answer whether checkout will survive Black Friday, you need a test you can rerun. In this demo, we used a coding agent and the Speedscale skills to record a Node app, mock its downstream API, and run a 30-second load test with 10 virtual users. That’s a small first step in holiday readiness. It gives you a working test and a result to inspect, with time left to fix what you find before a code freeze.

Dedicated vector databases have become such a standard part of the RAG conversation that teams often add one before they have proved they need it. According to studies, over 70% of companies using LLMs are using vector databases and RAG to customize their models. That shows how quickly the pattern has become normal. However, it does not mean every RAG application needs a separate retrieval system. If your application already runs on PostgreSQL, pgvector may be enough.
