GitHub Advanced Security for Azure DevOps just got sharper: it now checks if leaked secrets are actuallyvalid. Secrets are flagged asActiveorUnknownby pinging providers in real time. No setup needed. It auto-kicks in for supported secret types. Why care?Because not every secret leak is an emergenc.. read more

ClickHouse ran five LLMs through an autonomous root cause gauntlet using OpenTelemetry data. None nailed it solo. OpenAI’s o3 and Claude Sonnet 4 came closest. GPT-4.1 was the cheapest brain on the block. Things got weird under the hood. Token usage spiked unpredictably. Queries slammed observabili.. read more  

Airbnb yanked tens of millions of lines of Java, Kotlin, and Scala out of Gradle and dropped them intoBazel. Why? Faster builds, reproducible results, and smoother dev workflows. They didn’t just swap tools—they rewired the whole thing. A customautomated build file generatornow slices up targets fi.. read more

It can efficiently handle large datasets in a memory-efficient manner, making it suitable for serverless architectures. A DuckDB Lambda layer can be used to run performant queries on remote data.. read more  

More devs are spinning upKubernetes clusters on stripped-down Linux distros—thinkRaspberry Pi OS,Debian,Talos Linux,Fedora CoreOS. MicroK8s and k3s make low-power, ARM-first deployments feel less like a science project. Talos Linux? It’s the wildcard—API-only node opsand animmutable, locked-down de.. read more  

Capsule v0.10.3had a problem. Tenant users could sneak their own labels into system namespaces—an easy way to punch holes in Kubernetes multi-tenancy. v0.10.4shuts that down. It tightens namespace validation and clamps down on label injection... read more  

Kubernetes v1.34makesNodeSwapofficial. For the first time, swap on Linux nodes is fully supported—breaking with the old norm of just turning it off. Why it matters: NodeSwap gives the kubelet a pressure valve. Instead of firing off OOM kills, it can push some memory to disk. But this isn’t a free w.. read more  

88% of Kubernetes users say their total costs keep climbing—thanks to overprovisioned clusters, messy architectures, and hands-on ops. So now, 92% are bringing inAI-driven cost toolsto automate rightsizing and squeeze waste from sprawling workloads. System shift:AI isn't just sneaking into cluster .. read more  

Zero-code OpenTelemetry still feels like a myth. Python skips logs out of the box. Quarkus wires up tracing, nothing else. Micrometer Tracing (Spring Boot) ignores OTel env vars unless you’re on 3.5 or later. Every stack plays by its own rules... read more
