Technology Commentary

One of the common objections to our cloud exit has been that we shouldn't have expected good outcomes from a lift'n'shift operation. That the real value of the cloud is in managed services and new architectures, not just running the same software on rented cloud instances. It's basically the "you're holding it wrong" argument for the c...

A Third Good Question

Suddenly, AI is the new buzzword. And yet, most of us developers still can't get our hands on decent Observability tools, can we?

Robby has a chat with the Author of Sustainable Web Development with Ruby on Rails, Dave Bryant Copeland (he/him/his), about writing software that people understand how it works, the challenges that developers face when trying to retrofit software with more testing, how software engineers should engage with the experienced practitioners who advice them, and so much more. Stay tuned!

OTel Baggage and service meshes like Istio and Linkerd can be used together to implement highly scalable dev, preview and test environments.

Terence Zhao reflects on how Silicon Valley's love of innovation and allergy to looking outward has caused the reinvention of mundane things.

OpenTelemetry removes the need to have multiple instrumentation libraries and streamlines data collection across your observability backend.

With the unknowns of software failure, we want to be able to figure out what's going on just by looking at the outputs: observability.

This blog covers the history and current state of IT Operations Analytics (ITOA), a practice used to improve and manage IT systems.

IT operations analytics (ITOA) is the data-driven process by which organizations collect, store and analyze data produced by their IT services.

In contrast to top-down strategic approaches to data-driven decision-making, grassroots efforts at the operational level can deliver significant resul

Explore the intersection of data and IT optimization, and learn how data-driven insights can power your business efficiency with optimized IT workflows.

GitOps is a process of automating IT infrastructure using infrastructure as code and software development best practices such as Git, code review, and CI/CD pipelines.

Unlike many other technical portmanteaus, “GitOps” is worth defining, says @rwwmike, and here’s why:

Insights into considerations to be made for a robust future-proof API design

Placing an order and capturing a payment are really different actions. I also learned a lot in a few days.

We are told that technology is on the brink of ruining everything. But we are being lied to, and the truth is so much better. Marc Andreessen presents his techno-optimist vision for the future.

Shadow IT has been responsible for more enterprise SaaS deployments and workflow innovation that any growth strategy we've seen in the last 15 years. And that 's all about to end. Today we sit down with Yasu Matsumoto, who stepped down as CEO of Raksul after leading them from founding to post-IPO success, to start Josys, a new startup helping enterprises put an end to shadow IT once and for all. Yasu explains why that the end of shadow IT is actually a good thing for everyone, why he decided to step down from his high-profile CEO role, and the future of SaaS sales and marketing. It's a great conversation, and I think you'll enjoy it.

GPU worker nodes are essential for boosting AI/ML workload efficiency, and managed Kubernetes brings its own benefits to GPU acceleration.

It’s been more than 30 years since Linus Torvalds created the Linux kernel and distributed its first version. When we

The world stands on the brink of dramatic change. As things are getting worse, it will fall to all of us to rebuild and make something better. Collapse can be an opportunity.

10 years ago, we released an awesome CLI for developing single-page JavaScript applications. So, why did it fail?

Use our new open source Trace2 receiver component and OpenTelemetry to capture and visualize telemetry from your Git commands.

Don't punish people for looking.
