Duolingo’s FinOps crew didn’t just track cloud costs—they wired up sharp, automated observability across 100+ microservices. Real-time alerts now catch AI and infra spend spikes before they torch the budget. They sliced TTS costs by 40% with in-memory caching. Dumped pricey CloudWatch metrics for P..

DigitalOcean just dropped **Organizations**—a real upgrade for anyone juggling multiple Teams. Think one top-level account to rule them all: centralized user control, one invoice to track, and org-wide settings for taxes, credits, and permissions...

Azure logs come in three flavors: **Activity Logs**, **Diagnostic Logs**, and **Log Analytics**. Each with its own rules for retention and billing. The catch? Those differences aren’t quirks—they’re baked in...

When an event drops silently in a distributed system, it is not a bug, it is an architectural blind spot. Detect, debug, and prevent message loss in Kafka-based streaming pipelines using tools like OpenTelemetry, Fluent Bit, Jaeger, and dead-letter queues. Make sure observability gaps in event strea..

A teardown of Argo CD anti-patterns calls out 28 common misfires—stuff like skipping Git for Application CRDs or stuffing Helm/Kustomize config right into Argo CD manifests. Yikes. It pushes for a cleaner setup: use **ApplicationSets** instead of rolling your own YAML, turn on **auto-sync/self-heal..

OneUptime shows how to put **error budgets** to work—keeping feature velocity in check without tanking reliability. The goal: ship fast, stay within SLOs. They do it by tracking **burn rates**, syncing across teams, and tuning SLOs to match how users actually use the product. Less guesswork, more s..

GitHub just rolled out the **MCP Registry**—a hub for finding **Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers** without hunting through scattered corners of the internet. No more siloed lists or mystery URLs. It's all in one place now. The goal? Cleaner access to AI agent tools, plus a path toward **self-pu..

The inaugural Edge Day launched as a co-located event at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon EU in 2022, focusing on edge computing and the evolution from centralized data centers to the network edge. The event brings together academic research, enterprise use cases, and insights from the Kubernetes community...

Fluent Bit just edged out Fluentd as the CNCF’s go-to log processor. Why? It's fast—up to 40× faster. Built in C. Embedded plugins. Native OpenTelemetry. Full observability baked in. It handles routing, schema changes, and telemetry across containers and edge systems without flinching. No Ruby here..

Obot.ai just dropped out of stealth with $35M in seed and a big swing: it’s building a control plane for agentic AI, anchored on the now-standard **Model Context Protocol (MCP)**. Its **MCP Gateway** handles registry, secure proxying, RBAC, and observability for MCP servers. Think API gateway, but ..
