For most of JMS's lifetime, writing a simple producer required creating a ConnectionFactory, creating a Connection, starting it, creating a Session, creating a MessageProducer, creating a Message, calling send(), and then closing the producer, session, and connection with the close calls safely wrapped in finally blocks to prevent resource leaks. Every developer knew the pattern. Every developer wrote it slightly differently. Every code review had the same comments about resource management.

This article is a high-level overview of the Coralogix CLI. For a deeper look at how it works in practice, read the full technical deep dive here. Agent-driven investigation sounds simple: read the alert, query the data, return the cause. In reality, most agents either overload their context window with raw logs or guess at queries and return incorrect results.

It was 11:47pm on a Thursday night, and a senior platform engineer at a large North American bank was rolling back a ‘simple’ configuration change. The change itself was small, a routine update approved through the usual review process, but when it was applied, pods began cycling and connections started dropping. For the next three seconds, mobile banking sessions already mid-transaction dropped. Customer support lit up.

A few weeks ago, we shipped cascading replication for PostgreSQL, MySQL and Redis on Cloud 66. Customers can now build replication chains: a primary streaming to a middle replica, which in turn streams to leaves. It reduces load on the primary, supports geographic distribution, and stops you from melting your network when you have a large fan-out of replicas all pulling WAL from the same machine. PostgreSQL has supported cascading replication natively since version 9.1, which shipped over a decade ago.
