Introducing Cortex MCP in Devin: AI Engineering Guided by Your Best Practices

Cortex is now in the Devin Marketplace keeping your AI within the guardrails of your org wide best practices With this integration, Devin, the world’s first AI software engineer, can use Cortex data & best practices, like Scorecards, to understand your engineering standards and automatically fix issues at scale. Here’s how it works: Watch the demo to see how Eyal, one of the engineers at Cortex, used Cortex & Devin to turn best practices into action.

How to Connect Jaeger with Your APM

Microservices make it tough to understand how applications behave end-to-end. Most teams already rely on an Application Performance Monitoring (APM) tool to track system health. But as requests move across many services, you also need distributed tracing. Jaeger gives you that visibility. The real value comes from connecting the two. Instead of running APM and Jaeger in silos, you can combine their strengths, metrics from your APM, and traces from Jaeger, to get a clearer view of performance.

Feature Spotlight: PostGres Mocking #speedscale #postgres #postgresql

Struggling with integration testing because of a Postgres database dependency? Testing can feel impossible when you need to replicate realistic data in Postgres. That’s where Speedscale’s Postgres Mocking Tool comes in. Speedscale drops a recorder into your live system, observes all Postgres traffic, and shows you the actual sequence of statements and responses—making it easier than ever to test reliably.

Major DAC Update: Expanded Database Support, Enhanced Security, and AI-Powered Features

We are thrilled to announce a significant update across our DAC (Data Access Components) product line. This release focuses on expanding compatibility with the latest development environments, extending support for modern databases, strengthening security, and adding powerful new functionality for AI-driven applications.

Building a .NET PostgreSQL MCP Server for Claude Desktop

Querying PostgreSQL in plain English is no longer a futuristic idea; it’s something you can build today. With a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, Claude Desktop connects securely to external systems, including databases, through a structured interface. Here, MCP acts as the bridge between Claude and PostgreSQL, allowing it to run queries, explore schemas, and return results instantly in Markdown. This guide walks you through building that bridge in C#.

Accelerating Cloudnative Development & DevOps

Cloud-native development, and the resultant rise of DevOps, has transformed how software is built, deployed, and maintained. By embracing containerization, microservices, and continuous delivery, organizations have been able to deliver features faster, scale with demand, and recover from failures more gracefully than ever before. Many organizations are adopting these practices to keep up with industry demands and improve efficiency and security. But this speed and flexibility come with a significant cost - complexity.

8 IT Issues You Can Fix with Pulseway Mobile App

If you have worked in IT for more than five minutes, you know Murphy’s Law: anything that can go wrong will go wrong sooner or later (sometimes at the worst possible time). Systems do not wait for you to finish your coffee, much less for you to get back to your desk. So, yes, we know your pain. That is why more IT pros are leaning on mobile tools–like Pulseway RMM Mobile App–to stay ahead of problems instead of scrambling back to the office or dragging around a laptop everywhere.

The real reason your AI initiatives are failing

AI has made it faster and easier to change a codebase than ever before. But in a system as complex and interdependent as modern software delivery, writing code has never been the biggest challenge. For most teams, the real constraint is getting that code safely into production. So while AI assistants and autonomous coding agents have dramatically accelerated the pace of change, for many organizations those changes are piling up against bottlenecks that were already slowing them down.

Reliability means smooth on-call and a strong team

True reliability is when your engineers have confidence in their systems and their teams. Full transcript: Reliability to me means my on-call shift is gonna be smooth because everybody is making the attempts to be smart about the type of code that we're writing. And we're regularly testing to make sure that our system has redundancy and can withstand latency spikes, it can withstand resource spikes.
