The best engineering teams ship quality software quickly, but doing that consistently requires more than just speed. It requires careful attention to reliability, security, ease of maintenance, and developer experience. The Engineering Excellence Summits were designed to create a community of engineering leaders looking to connect with others facing similar challenges, share approaches that are working, and learn what “better” can look like.

Managing permissions in sprawling Kubernetes landscapes can often feel like untangling an ever-growing knot. As clusters and user bases expand, so does the intricate web of RoleBindings, impacting everything from UI responsiveness to the very stability of etcd. This complexity, if unaddressed, can become a significant hurdle to achieving scalability and maintaining optimal performance in Rancher. SUSE is committed to improving its container management platform.

As Generative AI (GenAI) reshapes the software development landscape, the risks and complexities around managing what gets built, where it comes from, and how it’s secured are growing just as fast. The Cloudsmith 2025 Artifact Management Report dives into this shift, offering critical insights into how teams are adapting their infrastructure and software supply chain security practices in response to the AI-generated code.

Your server's been logging everything—it’s just easy to overlook until something breaks. Every incoming request, database call, or auth check ends up in your access logs. They’re not flashy, but they quietly document every interaction your system handles. For developers, they’re often the most reliable starting point when things go wrong. In this blog, we'll take a look at what an access log is, its format, types, and a few best practices.

Although Amazon Web Services (AWS) still holds about a third of the cloud services market, Google Cloud Platform (GCP) has grown rapidly in recent years. Among the reasons for GCP’s rapid adoption is its simpler pricing structure compared to Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. Is that really the case? And how do AWS and GCP pricing differ? But first, a quick background.

We are in mid-2025, and teams across industries are rolling out large language models, or LLMs, to power everything from conversational agents to document understanding. However, getting them to run smoothly in production… That’s still a challenge. A working model isn’t just about putting it in a container and tossing it into a Kubernetes cluster.

Researchers at Trend Micro have uncovered a critical unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability affecting Langflow versions prior to 1.3.0. Langflow is a Python-based visual framework for building AI applications and boasts over 70,000 stars on GitHub and over 21,000 global weekly downloads from the public PyPI upstream. Source: Cloudsmith Navigator Versions released before 1.3.0 contain a serious flaw in the code validation logic, which allows arbitrary code execution.
