Avantra monitors SAP security patch status across entire landscapes, checking each newly published SAP HotNews note against every managed system and tracking which systems still need it. It covers the patch side of SAP vulnerability management, which is a different job from code-level vulnerability scanning.

If your team runs on Jira, the Git platform you choose can either accelerate your workflow or slow it to a crawl. Commits that never show up in your sprint board, branches that don’t link back to tickets, and pull requests that exist in a parallel universe from your backlog: these are the friction points that stack up fast for Jira-centered teams.

Dashboards answer the questions you knew you would ask. The other kind — “is it only this server, or all of them?”, “since when?”, “what does memory look like on the ones that restarted?” — used to start with creating a dashboard, adding a widget, picking a metric, and deleting the whole thing afterwards. Bleemeo now has a page for those questions. It is called Metrics: you write a PromQL query, run it, and look at the answer.

VictoriaLogs now runs in production everywhere, and many teams running it have told us the same thing: everyone wants new features, but it’s hard to keep upgrading their logging backend every few weeks. They want the mix of stability and up-to-date security that only LTS releases can satisfy. We’re happy to announce the first Long Term Support (LTS) release of VictoriaLogs: v1.52.1. This is the start of a new v1.52.x LTS line.

You move workloads off a single hyperscaler without re-architecting by running the container images you already have on more than one provider, keeping the native services worth keeping, and adding providers one location at a time.

You know the conversation. Calls are choppy, users are complaining, and Obkio shows packet loss on the path to your ISP. You open a ticket, and they reply, "Everything looks fine on our end." Now you're stuck taking screenshots, exporting graphs, and trying to explain data to someone who can't see it. Meanwhile, the problem keeps happening. Today we're launching Shareable Links. With one click, you can create a read-only link to any Network Monitoring Session and send it to anyone.

Say "ECS" and most people picture serverless containers: no nodes to manage, and nothing underneath you are allowed to touch. For an eBPF-based agent that is a dead end. There is no host to run on, no privileged containers, no kernel to attach to. But ECS is not always serverless. With the EC2 launch type you bring the nodes and ECS brings the scheduler: task definitions, services, rolling deployments, daemons, placement.

The faster teams deploy, the more releases fail, and burnout climbs right with it. What 700 engineers told Harness about delivery at AI speed. Lenny's Newsletter put out its 2026 tech workforce survey this year, and you should read the whole thing. The headline stats: significant burnout jumped from 44.7% to 55.7% of tech workers in a year. Career optimism dropped from 54.8% to 48.7% over the same period of time.

An AI agent and digital certificate inventory is a record of every AI agent and digital certificate an organization runs, with what each one does, who owns it, what it connects to and when it expires or needs a review. IT and IT Asset Management (ITAM) teams build one because both kinds of asset keep critical services running with no hardware to scan, no purchase order to trace and, very often, no owner on record.

Kimi API pricing, per million tokens: the flagship Kimi K3 costs $3 input and $15 output with a $0.30 cache-hit rate and 1M context. Kimi K2.6 and the coding-tuned K2.7 Code both run $0.95/$4.00 on 256K context. Kimi K2.5 and the legacy V1 family were retired August 31, 2026.
