The shift to autonomous and AI-assisted security operations is well underway. But there is a quiet infrastructure decision that will determine whether your AI agents are sharp or sluggish: how your security data is structured before it ever reaches them.

When a CI pipeline runs on cloud infrastructure, the build machine is ephemeral. It spins up, executes your build, and disappears. During that window, you have zero visibility into how much CPU and memory your pipeline actually consumes. This blind spot creates real problems. Teams over-provision VMs "just in case," wasting compute spend. Others under-provision and deal with silent OOM-kills or CPU throttling — the only clue being a cryptic exit code 137.

In our last release, we introduced a beta of performance updates designed for heavier, more complex time series workloads. InfluxDB 3.10 expands that beta to include enterprise features that give teams more control as they scale and manage larger workloads in InfluxDB 3. This release adds end-to-end backup and restore, row-level deletes, bulk import from Parquet, user management, and an RBAC preview to the previous performance beta.

The impact vision for PagerDuty.org is to enable mission-driven teams to build a resilient world and a sustainable future for all. As a leader in modern, AI-first operations, we know that operational excellence supercharges social impact. As artificial intelligence rapidly reshapes the social sector, this commitment to resilience and efficiency has never been more vital.

It’s been a busy quarter at OnPage. We recently rolled out our updated Enterprise Management Console to a select group of beta customers, and the early feedback has been exciting to see. The new experience gives teams a cleaner, more modern way to manage critical communication workflows, on-call schedules, alerting activity and team visibility from one place. But we have not slowed down there.

The chaos of manual on-call management is a familiar story for many IT Operations teams: frantic phone calls, confusing spreadsheets, missed alerts, and frustrated engineers on the verge of burnout. This reactive approach doesn’t just strain your team; it risks service-level agreement (SLA) breaches and customer churn.

Most security vendors hide their documentation behind a login. Some don’t write it at all. You get a sales page, a demo, and a request to install an agent on your servers, and you’re expected to trust that the thing does what the marketing says. That’s backwards. So we wrote the docs, and we put all of them at certkit.io/docs. No login, no account gate, no “contact us for details.” You can read every page before you create an account.

Yesterday’s leak of a BGP hijack intended to block Telegram in India is the latest routing mishap best described as intentional, but also accidental — a pattern dating back to Pakistan Telecom’s infamous hijack of YouTube in 2008, in which a domestic block escaped containment and disrupted the service worldwide.

The Scout MCP server connects your AI assistant directly to your Scout Monitoring data. Instead of switching between your editor, Scout, and a chat window, your assistant can pull traces, errors, N+1 insights, and endpoint metrics on its own and use that context to suggest or make fixes right in your codebase. This covers how to connect it, what to ask it, how other teams are using it, and what we shipped recently.
