The hidden costs of "free" cloud credits: A wake-up call for businesses

To read the full findings from this research, visit our whitepaper "Decoding Cloud Credits" by clicking here. The allure of "free" cloud credits can be tempting, but beneath the surface lies a complex web of risks and consequences that can ultimately lock businesses into costly and restrictive cloud ecosystems. Our latest whitepaper, "Decoding Cloud Credits", explores the true costs of these promotional offers and the implications for businesses.

Integration & Data Ingestion: Strengthening AIOps Observability

Large enterprises face the challenge of managing high-volume, very diverse data streams that span both legacy and modern, digital systems and applications. To gain timely, accurate insight across this kind of complexity, IT teams need observability platforms that can do more than just monitor - they must also unify, contextualize and enrich data so teams can act effectively to protect the availability of the services their customers rely on.

Disaster Recovery: Everything You Need to Know

With increasing cyberattacks and cloud outages, maintaining system resilience is critical. A robust Disaster Recovery (DR) strategy enables teams to prepare for unexpected events. It makes sure they can recover critical systems and data with minimal disruption. This blog will cover what disaster recovery is, why it matters, and the key components of an effective Disaster Recovery Plan. We’ll also walk through the steps for creating your own strategy.

How Git Worktrees Fix Context Switching in Your Workflow

Git worktrees let developers work on multiple branches simultaneously without stashing or losing context. Learn how to use Git worktrees to handle parallel development, urgent hotfixes, and code reviews without the single-threaded pain of constant branch switching. In this tutorial, GitKraken Senior Product Director Justin Roberts shows you how to set up Git worktrees using both the command line and GitKraken Desktop. You'll see real-world examples including handling critical bugs, reviewing pull requests without disrupting your current work, and managing multiple feature branches at once.

What we learnt from our panel discussion on AI in the UK

At Civo Navigate London 2025, we hosted a panel discussion with Josh Mesout, James Faure, Abdul Hummaida, Jonas Vermeulen, and Daniel Miodovnik to discuss the latest trends and challenges in AI adoption. Through this conversation, the panelists covered topics such as the current state of AI adoption to the challenges of scaling AI, and the future of work.

OpenTelemetry Spans Explained: Deconstructing Distributed Tracing

In a microservices architecture, a single user request can pass through multiple services before completing. When performance drops or an error occurs, tracing that journey is the only way to locate the source. Distributed tracing provides that visibility. At its core are OpenTelemetry Spans — units of work that capture what each service does during a request.

The Power of JFrog Artifactory as Your Model Registry

In my previous blog, we demonstrated how the FrogML SDK streamlines the process of integrating custom-built or publicly sourced models from your IDE into JFrog Artifactory. Now that your models are securely stored, versioned, and managed, the natural next question arises: “Ok, so you have some models in JFrog Artifactory, now what?” This is where the real power of the JFrog Platform comes into play.

What is AIOps and What Happens When IT Runs Itself?

The scale of modern IT is outpacing human capacity. Microservices, multi-cloud deployments, and the Internet of Things (IoT) have created a complex IT ecosystem, generating an exponential volume of operational data. Traditional operations teams, regardless of their skill, struggle to keep up. Because of this, forward-looking leaders are adopting AIOps in IT, not as an upgrade, but as a foundational shift.

Stop Debugging Blindly! How Traffic Capture Can Help Your Code #speedscale #trafficcapture #ai

Is AI "slop" or new code pushing tons of bugs into production? You can't test everything forever. Learn how traffic capture is the most efficient way to understand how your code is actually running in the real world. By grabbing data from sidecars, packet captures, or logs, you get the context you need to prevent bugs and improve performance.
