Same RK3588 Chip, Two Different Boards: Where Kiwi Pi 5 Pro and Orange Pi 5 Plus Split

Two single-board computers can share a processor and still behave very differently once they are deployed. The Kiwi Pi 5 Pro and the Orange Pi 5 Plus are a clear example of how board design, more than silicon, shapes what an RK3588 system is good at.

Load Test One Endpoint, Watch the Rest

What happens to transaction posting when statement traffic gets expensive? That’s the question a bank’s platform team actually needs answered before a busy month-end. It’s also a question most load tests can’t ask, because they turn one dial for the whole recording. Statements get heavier, posting gets heavier, and the average latency across both looks fine right up until customers can’t move money.

MCP Server Monitoring: Tracing Tool Calls with OpenTelemetry

MCP server monitoring guide: spans, metrics and logs to record for tool calls, why failed tools look healthy, and how to trace requests from client to server. Sejal Pandey works on content and growth at Last9, writing about observability, reliability, and SRE practices.

AI inference, explained through one question

TL;DR Part 0 of a three-part series on building a documentation assistant with Aiven. This part gives you the vocabulary. Part 1 is the architecture. Part 2 builds the thing. Almost everything written about large language models explains how models get built. Very little explains what happens the other billion times, when a finished model sits there answering questions. That second thing is called inference, and it is where practically all of the engineering work actually lives.

FastAPI Shipped Three Breaking Changes in 21 Hours: What to Check

FastAPI released 0.146.0, 0.147.0, and 0.148.0 between Sunday afternoon and Monday morning (UTC), and each one is labeled a breaking change. None of them will crash your app on startup. They change what values your endpoints receive, which is the kind of change that passes CI and then shows up as odd data a week later. At Scout Monitoring, we monitor a lot of FastAPI apps, and a loosely pinned fastapi dependency is the most common way these releases will arrive.

The 10 Best MCP Servers for DevOps and Cloud Infrastructure in 2026

The best MCP servers for DevOps depends on what you want an AI assistant to do: read code and pipelines, plan infrastructure as code, call one cloud’s APIs, observe production, or deploy and operate workloads. The safest setups combine scoped permissions, a read-only mode for investigation, confirmation before destructive actions, and an audit trail of every change.
