AWS Outage Shows Why UK Businesses Can't Afford Single-Cloud Dependency

The impact of the AWS outage has reminded many businesses of the risk for businesses that rely heavily on centralised cloud infrastructure, especially when so many essential services are concentrated in a single region.

How DEX and ITAM Transform IT from Reactive to Proactive

Monday: the CEO complains their laptop is slow. Tuesday: the billing software stops working. Thursday: the sales team misses a crucial meeting because Microsoft Teams crashes. This cycle of “fighting fires” is, for many IT departments, the “norm.” It’s a reactive state, where the team’s value is measured by the speed of its response to problems, not by its ability to prevent them.

Teams have always been under pressure to deliver software faster. But here's what we've learned from working with thousands of engineering teams: writing the code has never been the real bottleneck. It's everything that happens after - the testing, security scans, deployments, and optimizations that determine whether your innovations actually reach customers quickly and reliably. Even in the era of AI, the speed boost is uneven, creating the AI Velocity Paradox.

Rise of the Neocloud: Top 10 Providers and Adoption Trends

Enforce type safety with TypeScript checks before deployments

TypeScript introduces the benefits of static typing to JavaScript, allowing developers to identify bugs at an earlier stage. However, relying solely on developers to run type checks locally isn’t enough. Without tsc being called, a person can just leave the invalid code and it may pass to production. This tutorial will show you how to set up CircleCI to automatically run the TypeScript type checks on each push.
