Lessons From a CI/CD Supply Chain Attack at Grafana Labs
When a compromised GitHub Actions workflow targets your CI/CD pipeline, how do you respond — and what do you change so it never happens again? Nick and David from Grafana Security walk through a real supply chain incident triggered by a pull_request_target misconfiguration, showing exactly what broke, what tools caught it, and what the team rebuilt afterward.
Getting Started with gcx: A CLI for AI Agents and Grafana Telemetry | Demo
AI agents are only as useful as the context they can access. With gcx, your coding agents can connect to Grafana and query real-time production telemetry from your Cloud, Enterprise, or OSS environment. The best part: it avoids the upfront context bloat that can come with loading tools before you even send a prompt. gcx uses a CLI approach, so there’s zero token cost until your agent actually needs to run a query.
You probably don't need private PKI for internal infrastructure
Running your own certificate authority sounds like the responsible choice for internal infrastructure. Distribute your root cert to every machine and issue certs internally. In practice, you spend the next six months chasing down every device, contractor laptop, and vendor console that didn’t get root installed. The warnings come back. And when they do, people click through them, because they always have. There’s a simpler path, and most teams don’t know it exists.

Your developers are using AI agents, your data exposure just multiplied
Your developers are already using AI agents. GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code. Not just for autocomplete, but to generate features, run test suites, and iterate across branches. Each agent needs a database to work against. And in most organizations, nobody has checked what's actually in that database, or whether it should be there.
What Is Hybrid Cloud Monitoring (And How To Actually Do It Well)
Most IT teams running a real hybrid setup are not short on data. They are short on a place where the data agrees with itself. By the end, you will know what to ask a vendor for, where teams usually trip, and how to scope a proof of concept that does not burn a quarter. Hybrid cloud monitoring is the ongoing collection of telemetry across your on-prem kit and one or more public clouds, treated as one environment instead of two or three. The goal is not just visibility.
The SaaS SEO Playbook That Prioritizes Conversions Over Clicks
For years, SaaS companies treated SEO like a traffic competition. The goal was simple: publish more content, rank for more keywords, and drive as many visitors as possible to the website. Marketing dashboards looked impressive. Teams celebrated traffic milestones. Investors saw upward graphs and assumed momentum was building. But somewhere along the way, a lot of SaaS founders started noticing a problem nobody wanted to talk about openly.
6 Real Benefits of Outsourcing Financial Operations in the Restaurant Industry
Running a restaurant doesn't slow down. Between managing a rotating staff, watching food costs creep up, and keeping guests satisfied enough to come back, the financial side of operations often becomes an afterthought until something goes wrong. And for most operators, something eventually does. Margins get tighter. Compliance gets messier. The spreadsheet that "works for now" suddenly doesn't. There's a better approach, and a growing number of restaurant groups across the country are already using it.
