Cost Control in SAP BTP: The Critical Need for Automation

The cloud is the cheapest processing you can buy... until you get the bill! Unfortunately, Cloud service costs are notoriously opaque when it comes to transactional and operations costs. The results can be unexpected bills and even damage to the ROI of cloud programs. SAP BTP is no exception, but it doesn't have to be this way. Good FinOps discipline is readily available for BTP - and beyond avoiding "bill shock" such monitoring is just good operational hygiene, preserving budget and resources for productive investment.

Building for the 80%: The New Developer Tier for Apache Kafka

When we launched the Free Tier, we made a promise: graduating to a paid tier shouldn’t feel like switching platforms. It should simply feel like tapping “Continue watching in HD”.

Disaster Recovery Testing in Harness | Resilience Testing

In this video, we introduce Harness Resilience Testing and show you how to move beyond once-a-year DR drills to a continuously validated, pipeline-driven process. You'll see how Harness lets you validate regional failovers, check database replication lag under pressure, and confirm your hot standbys genuinely take over live traffic, all in one place. We also walk through a live DR test execution, showing exactly how Harness triggers the full failover sequence, runs every validation step automatically, and gives you a clear pass or fail result in real time.

Misconfigured Alert Detection: Find the Alerts That Need Tuning

Netdata ships with hundreds of stock alerts. They cover a wide range of infrastructure conditions and they’re designed with sensible defaults. But “sensible defaults” and “correct for your environment” are not the same thing. A CPU threshold that’s perfectly reasonable for a build server might generate constant noise on a machine running batch jobs.
