Webinar Recap: Building The Finance Function For The Future

Women leaders from CloudZero, Campfire, and Preql AI sat down to talk about what it actually takes to modernize finance in 2026 — AI spend, smarter tooling, and the skills that matter now for finance practitioners and executives looking to manage cloud and AI spend in a rapidly changing and unpredictable financial environment. On March 19, 2026, CloudZero and Campfire co-hosted a virtual panel in honor of International Women’s Month, called Building the Finance Function for the Future.

Amazon Lex Pricing in 2026 Explained (And Practical Cost Saving Tips to Use Immediately)

If your SaaS product handles 1 million chatbot interactions per month, Amazon Lex alone could cost between $4,000 and $7,500. That range assumes current Amazon Lex V2 pricing of about $0.00075 per text request and $0.004 per speech request. Multiply the requests by the rate, and you’re done. Or are you? Conversational AI services rarely behave that neatly in production — and that includes AWS Lex. Amazon Lex is AWS’s conversational AI service for building chatbots.

FinOps In Action Playbook For Engineering Personas

In 2025, many teams built strong FinOps foundations: These practices created visibility and control. Now it’s time to elevate. FinOps in Action is a three-part series focused on applying that foundation in real engineering scenarios. Each post highlights a different persona and shows how to move from visibility to operational discipline. Today, we focus on Engineering. Engineering teams influence cost through architecture decisions, scaling policies, and workload design.

Claude Code is running bash commands on your infrastructure. Here's how to watch it.

I’ve been staring at Claude Code telemetry for the past few weeks, and I keep noticing the same thing: most teams drop it into their environment, say “it’s amazing,” and have absolutely no idea what it’s actually doing at the system level. That’s fine for a personal dev tool. It’s not fine when you’ve rolled it out to 50 engineers.

How to Perform a Network Health Check: Step-by-Step Guide

Your apps are slow. Users are complaining. You're staring at a dashboard trying to figure out what broke and when. Sound familiar? This is the reality of reactive network monitoring. By the time someone opens a ticket, the issue has already been affecting performance for minutes, sometimes hours. A network health check flips that script. Instead of chasing problems after the fact, you're catching them before users ever notice.

Agentic AI at Scale: Building the Kubex Agentic AI Platform

In the modern cloud infrastructure landscape, we don’t have a data problem; we have an actionable interpretation gap. Engineering teams are often drowning in metrics that describe a crisis without providing a clear path to remediation. Traditional FinOps, SRE, and DevOps work has become a reactive loop of dashboard-watching and manual firefighting.

You're probably overdue for a Sentry SDK upgrade

Session Replay. Structured logs. AI monitoring. Automatic OpenTelemetry tracing. Feature flag tracking. If you haven't seen these in your Sentry dashboard, your SDK version is probably the reason. Whether you're on @sentry/react, @sentry/nextjs, @sentry/vue, @sentry/angular, @sentry/sveltekit, or any other @sentry/* package, they all version together. When we say v10, we mean all of them.

The Cognitive Ceiling: Why Modern Environments Outgrew Human Interpretation

For more than a decade, organizations invested in tools and telemetry with the belief that more visibility would create more control. Monitoring expanded across cloud, application, network, and infrastructure layers. Observability platforms entered the mainstream. Automation tools promised faster detection and improved coordination. Yet despite these advancements, incidents are not easier to understand. War rooms still fill with conflicting interpretations. Signals generate more questions than answers.
