Time series data underpins all real-time systems. From high-resolution telemetry to long-range trends, it’s essential for monitoring, automation, predictive maintenance, and operational insight. But it’s also hard to work with: high cardinality, shifting schemas, and time-based queries make even basic tasks feel heavy.

The JFrog Security Research team has recently discovered and disclosed CVE-2025-6514 – a critical (CVSS 9.6) security vulnerability in the mcp-remote project – a popular tool used by Model Context Protocol clients. The vulnerability allows attackers to trigger arbitrary OS command execution on the machine running mcp-remote when it initiates a connection to an untrusted MCP server, posing a significant risk to users – a full system compromise.

You did it. You added the latest AI agent into your product. Shipped it. Went to sleep. Woke up to find it returning a blank string, taking five seconds longer than yesterday, or confidently outputting lies in perfect JSON. Naturally, you check your logs. You see a prompt. You see a response. And you see nothing helpful. Surprise. Prompt in and response out is not observability. It is vibes.

Note: Grafana Beyla has been donated to OpenTelemetry under the new project name OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation. Beyla will continue to exist as Grafana Labs’ distribution of the upstream project. Grafana Beyla is an open source eBPF-based auto-instrumentation tool that helps you easily get started with application observability, allowing you to monitor and visualize traces without modifying the application code.

OutboundSync, a powerful platform that helps marketers sync outbound sales data to CRMs like HubSpot and Salesforce, knows that transparency is key component of delivering a service that hundreds of teams rely on. And as an integration platform, OutboundSync is deeply reliant on other providers, making vendor reliability a key part of their own transparency.

VMware is a leading platform for virtualization and cloud infrastructure, widely used to manage compute, storage, and networking resources across on-premises and hybrid environments. While it offers powerful capabilities and extensive telemetry through tools like vCenter, navigating this data can be overwhelming – especially when trying to spot performance issues, capacity trends, or VM sprawl in real time. That’s where a solution like SquaredUp can make a significant difference.

Cybersecurity in the automotive world isn’t just a best practice anymore – it’s a regulatory imperative. With vehicles becoming software-defined platforms, connected to everything from mobile phones to cloud services, the attack surface has expanded dramatically. The cybersecurity risk is serious, and concrete. And with regulations like UNECE R155 making cybersecurity compliance mandatory, the automotive industry needs suppliers it can trust.

Atlassian’s 2025 State of DevEx Survey reveals a paradox: AI is saving developers time, but they’re still losing time to organizational inefficiencies.

As a Citrix consultant, not every issue I troubleshoot is directly tied to Citrix, but many of them dramatically impact the end-user experience. This is one of those cases. A customer had begun testing Windows Server 2025 as Multi-Session hosts in their environment. The new servers were domain-joined and fully patched, and they expected a smooth experience with Office 365, Entra ID–backed apps, and cloud-based authentication. Everything had worked flawlessly on Server 2022.

June 12 started like any other Wednesday–until the internet broke. It started with Google Cloud’s Identity and Access Management (IAM) system, but the fallout hit everything built on top of it. Widespread service degradation swept across core Google products and third-party platforms. Gmail, Docs, Meet, and Chat went dark. Cloudflare services were unavailable. Developer and AI tools faltered.
