Kubernetes makes it easy to scale applications. But when it comes to CPU resource management, a poorly tuned cluster can quickly become unstable or inefficient. For network engineers, setting CPU requests and limits correctly—and understanding the deeper implications—is essential for keeping workloads efficient, costs predictable, and noisy neighbors in check.

If you've ever had to debug a Flutter app after an error report that just says “Null check operator used on a null value,” you already know: context is everything. And context can be hard to come by when you’re juggling native code, Dart, async stack traces, and platform channels. With v9 of our Flutter SDK, we’re introducing some features to help you get even more visibility into what’s going wrong, with the insights to make it better. Here’s what’s new.

The tools we use shape how we see problems. When flow and metrics are siloed, so is your visibility.

We're excited to share major product improvements this month, highlighted by the full launch of our on-call management system that many of you have been eagerly awaiting.

SLA/SLO-driven monitoring aligns your observability strategy with business objectives by defining measurable service targets and implementing monitoring systems that track progress toward those goals. Service Level Agreements (SLAs) represent commitments to users, while Service Level Objectives (SLOs) are internal targets that ensure you meet those commitments with a safety buffer. In 2025, organizations running distributed systems need monitoring that goes beyond basic uptime checks.

In the rapidly evolving world of cloud computing, network engineers often need to decide between serverless computing and containerization. Both technologies offer unique advantages and are suited to different types of applications. This article aims to provide a comprehensive comparison of serverless computing and containers, helping network engineers make an informed decision based on their specific needs.

As network engineers, you play a crucial role in managing cloud infrastructure that supports your organization’s applications and services. Cloud platforms offer immense flexibility and scalability, but without careful cost management, expenses can quickly spiral out of control.
