The Load Testing Start Guide! #speedscale #stresstest #loadtesting #mocking #startup

Are you ready to get serious about load and stress testing, but don't know where to start? This guide highlights the trap most serious engineers fall into: trying to build a custom DIY testing environment. The traditional path means signing your team up for maintaining load drivers, test case frameworks, ephemeral environments, and endless custom mocks a massive drain on time and resources. There's a better, cheaper, and faster solution: Traffic Replay.

Introducing Braintrust

How do you balance speed and quality when your customers are counting on you? What does it actually take to build a culture of reliability? And how should engineering leaders think about AI when it's changing everything about how we ship software? On Braintrust, Ganesh Datta, CTO and Co-founder of Cortex, sits down with CTOs, VPs of Engineering, and technical leaders who've been in the trenches—the ones who've made the hard calls, shipped through the chaos, and built teams that actually work.

Struggling with alert overload or missed notifications? Learn how Site24x7 helps you manage alerts effectively, from setting thresholds and tracking key metrics to routing notifications, automating actions, and leveraging AI-powered Zia thresholds. Follow a real-world DevOps scenario to see how your team can respond faster, smarter, and more efficiently.

Enforce type safety with TypeScript checks before deployments

TypeScript introduces the benefits of static typing to JavaScript, allowing developers to identify bugs at an earlier stage. However, relying solely on developers to run type checks locally isn’t enough. Without tsc being called, a person can just leave the invalid code and it may pass to production. This tutorial will show you how to set up CircleCI to automatically run the TypeScript type checks on each push.

Tracking Aborted Queries and Memory Grants in Redgate Monitor

Redgate Monitor now surfaces two common SQL Server query issues that usually take manual work to uncover: cancelled or aborted queries and high memory-grant queries. You can now see both in the Query Executions view for each SQL Server instance, directly alongside server activity and alerts, so you can diagnose the cause much faster. Recently, Redgate Monitor introduced the Query Executions feature for SQL Server instances, using Extended Events to capture execution details for individual queries.

Rise of the Neocloud: Top 10 Providers and Adoption Trends

With the tech world once again in the midst of a major shift, a new group of contenders has entered the market, offering capabilities the traditional hyperscalers can’t match. Often dubbed "neoclouds", these new providers range from developer-focused platforms to GPU-centric infrastructure clouds. Can these new clouds compete with 100 billion dollar incumbents in a space that's already changing at breakneck speed?

Transform your DevSecOps with Harness AI and Google Cloud

Teams have always been under pressure to deliver software faster. But here's what we've learned from working with thousands of engineering teams: writing the code has never been the real bottleneck. It's everything that happens after - the testing, security scans, deployments, and optimizations that determine whether your innovations actually reach customers quickly and reliably. Even in the era of AI, the speed boost is uneven, creating the AI Velocity Paradox.
