Same RK3588 Chip, Two Different Boards: Where Kiwi Pi 5 Pro and Orange Pi 5 Plus Split

Two single-board computers can share a processor and still behave very differently once they are deployed. The Kiwi Pi 5 Pro and the Orange Pi 5 Plus are a clear example of how board design, more than silicon, shapes what an RK3588 system is good at.

Load Test One Endpoint, Watch the Rest

What happens to transaction posting when statement traffic gets expensive? That’s the question a bank’s platform team actually needs answered before a busy month-end. It’s also a question most load tests can’t ask, because they turn one dial for the whole recording. Statements get heavier, posting gets heavier, and the average latency across both looks fine right up until customers can’t move money.

CI/CD Pipeline Observability: GitHub Actions, Jenkins and ArgoCD

7 Best Enterprise ADEs for Secure Multi-Agent Coding (2026)

Your engineering team runs five AI coding agents across three repositories. One is stuck waiting for input, another just overwrote a file the third one was editing, and nobody knows which branch belongs to which task. Sound familiar? Agentic development environments solve this coordination problem by giving you a single surface to orchestrate, review, and merge agent-driven work. This guide compares seven enterprise-ready ADEs built for secure, multi-agent coding workflows.

MCP Server Monitoring: Tracing Tool Calls with OpenTelemetry

MCP server monitoring guide: spans, metrics and logs to record for tool calls, why failed tools look healthy, and how to trace requests from client to server. Sejal Pandey works on content and growth at Last9, writing about observability, reliability, and SRE practices.

AI inference, explained through one question

TL;DR Part 0 of a three-part series on building a documentation assistant with Aiven. This part gives you the vocabulary. Part 1 is the architecture. Part 2 builds the thing. Almost everything written about large language models explains how models get built. Very little explains what happens the other billion times, when a finished model sits there answering questions. That second thing is called inference, and it is where practically all of the engineering work actually lives.

FastAPI Shipped Three Breaking Changes in 21 Hours: What to Check

FastAPI released 0.146.0, 0.147.0, and 0.148.0 between Sunday afternoon and Monday morning (UTC), and each one is labeled a breaking change. None of them will crash your app on startup. They change what values your endpoints receive, which is the kind of change that passes CI and then shows up as odd data a week later. At Scout Monitoring, we monitor a lot of FastAPI apps, and a loosely pinned fastapi dependency is the most common way these releases will arrive.

Internet Is Lagging? How to Find the Cause and Fix It

The speed test shows 500 Mbps. Yet Microsoft Teams calls keep turning into people talking over each other, the CRM pauses on every click, and remote employees are opening tickets because the Internet is lagging. Nothing looks broken, which is exactly what makes lag so hard to troubleshoot. Why is my Internet lagging? If your Internet is lagging, your connection is slow to respond, not necessarily slow to download.
