Compliance guardrails for regulated delivery

Sep 14, 2026 By Upsun In Upsun
One multinational running on Upsun operates more than 400 websites. Each subsidiary has its own sites, its own team, its own release schedule, and its own local requirements. What they share is one infrastructure control layer: the same access model, the same encryption defaults, the same activity records, the same region and backup policy on every project.

How is the SaaS Market Performing in 2026?

Sep 14, 2026 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
Software as a Service (SaaS) dominates corporate technology purchases in 2026. The cloud powers communications, finance, customer management, analytics, cybersecurity, HR, and more. Software spending is soaring, but purchasers choose value-based subscriptions. Business conditions affect SaaS enterprises. Higher costs, shifting technology spending, mergers, and corporate shutdowns limit demand but also create opportunities. A company shutdown 2026 report might cover software spend, customer retention, and investment trends. Gartner anticipated $1.47 trillion in software spending in July 2026, up 15.5% from July 2025.

How to right-size the handoff between two agents

Sep 10, 2026 By Djo Lopez In CloudZero
model-right-sizer-schema is a Claude Code skill that designs the typed contract between one agent and the controller that dispatches it. Point it at an agent plus its controller and it returns a JSON prescription with typed in/out fields, an exclusion list that keeps raw logs out of the reply, a before/after size delta, then writes the contract into the agent's own file. It picks from nine portable output-shape families, or your repo's own.

Stop assembling audit evidence by hand: generate it on every deploy

Sep 10, 2026 By Upsun In Upsun
Somewhere in every compliance program is a person who spends the week before an audit pulling logs out of several different systems, reconstructing who had access to what, and hoping the screenshots match what the auditor actually asks for. None of this work makes the system more secure. It just makes the existing security visible to someone who's checking. That gap, between the controls that are actually in place and the evidence that proves it, is where most audit prep time goes.
