Transformations in network technology

Over the past five years, enterprise networking has undergone a significant transformation driven by advancements in technology, the rise of cloud and SaaS applications, the decentralization of the workforce, and the need for agility, scalability, and cost mitigation. These factors have led organizations to shift from on-premise network management systems (NMS) to cloud-managed networking platforms and to adopt technologies like Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN).

AI-Augmented Software Engineering

While Artificial intelligence (AI) has invaded many industries, the IT industry is reaping the benefits of AI in software engineering practices. The traditional method of relying solely on human coders throughout the entire development lifecycle is gradually becoming obsolete. Instead, AI-augmented software engineering has come into the arena to make the software engineering process faster, easier, and more reliable.

There Are No Repeat Incidents

People seem to struggle with the idea that there are no repeat incidents. It is very easy and natural to see two distinct outages, with nearly identical failure modes, impacting the same components, and with no significant action items as repeat incidents. However, when we look at the responses and their variations, we can find key distinctions that shows the incidents as related, but not identical.

Querying InfluxDB Cloud with the C++ Flight SQL Client
