A FinOps analyst walks into a Monday morning meeting with a detailed spreadsheet showing $2.3M in potential Kubernetes cost savings. The recommendations look straightforward: reduce memory limits by 40%, scale down replicas during off-peak hours, consolidate workloads onto fewer nodes. The numbers are compelling, the methodology is sound, and the savings would make a material impact on quarterly cloud spend. The SRE team immediately objects.

We are thrilled to announce a set of product updates across our dotConnect data providers and Entity Developer. The new release adds support for Entity Framework Core 10, introduces AI-focused vector data types across major databases, and extends compatibility with the newest platform capabilities such as SQL Server 2025, Oracle 26ai, and Microsoft Entra authentication.

Recent outages tied to AI-assisted code changes have pushed companies into a corner. After several incidents with massive “blast radius” impacts, organizations like Amazon introduced stricter controls—mandating that senior engineers manually review all AI-generated code before it hits production. That response makes sense on paper, but it exposes a fatal flaw in the modern development pipeline.

Civo has been identified by ABI Research as one of the world’s leading NeoCloud providers. The report underscores our focus on cloud and AI infrastructure that blends high performance, technical innovation, and strong sovereignty. Being included in the ABI NeoCloud report validates the work we have done to support modern AI workloads while giving organisations control over where and how their data is handled.

While the race to expand networking infrastructure to support AI applications continues on land, the same expansion is occurring undersea. Subsea cables spanning Earth’s oceans must evolve to keep pace.

APIs have revolutionized how web and web app developers interact with data, whether for personal use or business. One of our most profound responsibilities as API developers is to protect our endpoints from being hacked. Even with essential safeguards in place, our websites can be vulnerable. This post discusses seven causes of API failures and how to fix them.

Like most SaaS companies, CloudZero uses its own product. When we released cost per customer reporting, we tested it on ourselves first. And today, we use cost per customer reports regularly. Why? Because they help leadership answer board and renewal questions, including customer-level margins. Cost per customer is valuable and hard to get right. Multi-tenant systems and Kubernetes can hide the link between shared infrastructure (like EC2) and the customers using it.

Modern FP&A tools help SaaS businesses analyze financial performance in real time, forecast accurately, and align spend with business priorities — especially cloud spend, which can quickly spiral without visibility. Choosing the right FP&A tool for your business means understanding what you actually need it to do — whether that’s cloud cost visibility, more accurate forecasting, or tighter alignment between finance and engineering.
