As businesses scale, managing infrastructure becomes increasingly complex and distributed, leading to challenges in consistency, performance, and security. Manual configurations and outdated practices can no longer meet the demands of today’s highly competitive businesses. To tackle these issues, adopting a phased approach; Day 0, Day 1, and Day 2; provides a practical roadmap for scaling infrastructure automation effectively.

As networks become more complex, the demand for automation has surged. There has been a huge uptick in the concept of autonomous networks—a transformative model redefining how telecom and IT networks operate. But what are they, and why are they essential for today’s digital-first world? Let’s break it down.

I had a fantastic opportunity to sit with Ben Good of Google and Rich Prillinger of Mezmo and participate in the discussion about the new DORA 2024 report. The 10th edition of the DORA report covers the impact of AI on software development, explores platform engineering’s promises and challenges, and emphasizes developer experience and stable priorities for success.

Today’s fast-paced development environments require new approaches to testing. Enter continuous performance testing. Unlike traditional performance testing, automated continuous performance testing is part of every build, monitoring the application continuously under increased load. With continuous performance tests, organizations with lots of users can expect to improve the customer experience, prevent major outages, and find and resolve issues faster.

In today’s fast-paced software product development world, efficiency and innovation aren’t just important — they’re everything. DevOps engineers and SREs are tasked with maintaining high-performing systems, improving deployment frequency, and ensuring stability while navigating a dizzying amount of tools. Developers who write code also need to learn these tools and are dependent on them to do their jobs. So what’s the problem?

We're excited to announce a significant enhancement to Karpenter, an intelligent Kubernetes autoscaling solution that automatically optimizes your infrastructure costs and performance. Since integrating Karpenter six months ago, it has helped our users automatically provision the right AWS instances for their workloads.

High latency and inflexible bandwidth have a domino effect across your entire business, impacting your productivity and revenue. Here’s how to improve it. When we talk about network latency, we’re referring to more than just the occasional lag or slow loading speed. At scale, the consistency of your network can be the difference between your enterprise making and losing money – and latency is where it all starts.
