Moving Our Observability Data Collector from Sidecars to eBPF

Jan 20, 2026 By Matthew LeRay In Speedscale

For years, the Kubernetes sidecar pattern has been a practical way to capture observability data. Running a collector alongside each application pod gave us deep visibility into traffic, including full request and response payloads across supported protocols. However, as cloud-native environments have grown more complex, the limitations of sidecars—such as resource overhead, operational complexity, and scaling challenges—have become more apparent.

Digital Twins Gone Wild: My Unexpected AI Doppelgänger

Jan 20, 2026 By Alan Mon In Speedscale

I recently tried using AI to create a digital twin of myself. I uploaded a photo, expecting a futuristic, slightly improved version of me... and what did I get in return? A picture of Kim Jong Un. Clearly, AI has a sense of humor-or a very different definition of "twin." Forget Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito. Digital Twins 2-Now Starring My AI Doppelgänger From Speedscale's perspective, a digital twin is built from real production traffic, continuously updated, and executable in your test and CI/CD environments.

ROI of Digital Twin Testing: Cut Testing Costs by 50%

Jan 20, 2026 By Ken Ahrens In Speedscale

When engineering leaders review their cloud bills, they often focus on production costs—the infrastructure serving real users, processing real transactions, generating real revenue. But there’s a shadow cost lurking in every cloud environment that often goes unnoticed until it becomes painful: non-production infrastructure.

Jan 20, 2026 By NinjaOne In NinjaOne

Just like "cloud" in years past, the term "AI" has permeated just about every tech space and product. And although AI has plenty of business benefits, there are also plenty of risks in using AI, especially when it comes to sensitive business information. End users may not understand (or care) about the negative impacts of AI, which is where IT comes in. In this stream, you'll learn about how you can build an AI policy that works and how to enforce it so that users actually follow it!

How is the next wave of AI impacting the Indian cloud scene?

Jan 20, 2026 By Emma Stewart-Oram In Civo

Gartner has predicted that 2026 will see a 10.6% increase in India’s total IT spend from 2025 (2025: USD 159 billion vs 2026: USD 176.3 billion), with data centres, cloud infrastructure, and AI-enabled technologies driving this growth. This isn’t just a budget increase; it’s a fundamental shift in where innovation happens, who owns the infrastructure, and how we translate AI potential into scalable impact.

How AI amplifies your entire engineering culture

Jan 20, 2026 By Cristina Buenahora In Cortex

Anyone who has ever attempted to learn the guitar knows the lure of buying high-end gear. Surely, an expensive guitar and a best-in-class amplifier will hide the fact that you only know a few chords and maybe the lead line to that one song you keep hearing on the radio. What most players find out, however, is that spending thousands of dollars on gear doesn't change the fact that you're not that good yet.
