The JVM is the runtime foundation of every ActiveMQ deployment. Message throughput, delivery latency, producer flow control triggers, OOM crashes, and GC-induced delivery pauses all trace back to JVM memory configuration. Yet ActiveMQ ships with a 512MB heap and no GC logging, appropriate for a developer laptop, not for an enterprise message broker handling millions of messages a day.

Every certificate renewal automation tool has to answer one architecture question before it does anything else: where does the private key get generated? A reader who used to be “the certificate guy” at his organization emailed me this week to ask about exactly that: It’s the right instinct. It’s also how most automation tools work. Certbot generates the key on the server, builds a certificate signing request, and the private key never leaves the machine.

"Hello world, this is your agent speaking!" The agent loop! The LLM is calling tools, the answers are sensible, and the sky's the limit. Now, as you look forward to production, you look for a composable toolset, something that can grow with your use case and system needs. That's what we created with Honeycomb Canvas: a collaborative investigation space where AI agents help you understand, fix, and learn about your system.

Incident response often depends on connecting two kinds of context: what changed in the environment and what the logs say happened next. Through a new integration with Elastic, Anyshift’s AI agent, Annie, can read from a customer’s Elasticsearch deployment to search logs, surface error and warning spikes, and correlate log evidence with infrastructure change history.

Apple’s platform ecosystem is evolving as developers build production applications for watchOS and visionOS. Whether it’s a fitness app on Apple Watch or an immersive spatial computing experience on Apple Vision Pro, these platforms have moved beyond the experimental phase to support real users. Despite this growth in adoption, teams lack visibility into how their apps behave on these devices.
