Most developers spend hours each week wrestling with Git. Not because they’re bad at their jobs, but because Git doesn’t actively teach you its most powerful features. At GitKon 2025, our Senior Product Marketing Manager Jonathan Silva revealed 6 underused Git commands that solve the workflow problems developers face every day: botched rebases, lost commits, and merge conflict chaos. These aren’t advanced techniques.

Most executives assume that moving to Microsoft 365 simplifies cost control. Storage is “in the cloud”, usage is elastic, and governance is handled through policy. In reality, many organisations face a very different experience. They invest heavily in retention policies to meet legal and regulatory requirements, yet their SharePoint storage costs continue to rise year after year, even after large cleanup programs.

An in-depth look at the recent audit by Almond ITSEF, validating HAProxy’s architectural resilience and defining the shared responsibility of secure configuration. Trust is the currency of the modern web. When you are the engine behind the world’s most demanding applications, "trust" isn't a marketing slogan—it’s an engineering requirement.

Everyone wants autonomous incident response. Most teams are building it wrong. ‍ The ultimate goal of autonomy in SRE and DevOps is the capacity of a system to not only detect incidents but to resolve them independently through intelligent self-regulation. However, true autonomy isn't born from automating random, isolated tasks. It requires a stable foundation: a Reference Architecture.

Continuous profiling offers deep visibility into production environments, revealing exactly how applications consume CPU and memory. It’s the go-to observability practice for directly connecting system behavior and performance to specific lines of code. But when teams consider deploying continuous profiling more broadly, a common question comes up: what’s the overhead? Is it safe to run continuous profiling on my production services 24/7, or does the cost outweigh the benefits?

Writing a good article is not enough anymore. The existing web contains millions of pages which compete for user attention and search engines determine which pages should appear at the top of search results. Optimization holds crucial value because it determines which websites will achieve success in online competition. The goal of our work is to develop content which answers user search queries. Surfer SEO exists specifically to fulfill this requirement.

Like most SaaS companies, you’re under pressure to ship AI-powered features faster, smarter, and at scale. For many teams, that pressure leads to relying on external AI platforms, managed models, and third-party APIs instead of building everything from scratch in-house. At first, it feels like a win. Your team ships an AI-powered feature in weeks instead of months. No GPU clusters to manage. No models to train. No infrastructure to babysit.

This blog is based on the webinar, “From idea to agent: Building AI workflows with relaxAI and n8n”. You can watch the full recording by clicking here! AI isn’t slowing down. We’re moving from “ask a chatbot” to agents that run the multi-step workflows, use tools, and are built for real business processes. Most teams aren’t blocked by ideas. They’re blocked by three things: complexity, cost, and control.
