Security and procurement teams rarely ask only whether logs are searchable. They ask where those logs live, whether UK and EU estates stay apart, what happens when retention ends, and how you can show that data was deleted. This guide walks through the published region model, custom residency, and verified deletion for Logs stacks on Logit.io.

Kubernetes is now the default deployment substrate for most enterprise platform teams. But ActiveMQ on Kubernetes presents a specific challenge that pure stateless workloads do not: message brokers are stateful.

More organizations are moving workloads from Azure public cloud to Azure Local (formerly Azure Stack HCI) than most people realize. The reasons vary: data sovereignty requirements, latency-sensitive workloads that need to be closer to the edge, cost optimization for predictable workloads where reserved cloud capacity doesn’t make financial sense, or regulatory constraints that require data to stay on-premises.

When thinking about Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and contractual Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for availability, I always like to put the percentages into concrete numbers. It’s easy to lose track of what’s meant when saying “99.95%” availability, and even more is lost when thinking how much harder it is to achieve 99.99% compared to 99.95%. On a monthly basis, and in concrete terms, 99.95% availability means you get 21 minutes and 55 seconds of downtime.

How many hours did your team spend last quarter debugging issues that only appeared in one environment? What would change if every environment were guaranteed to be identical? In 2026, environment inconsistency remains one of the most expensive bottlenecks in software development. Developers frequently spend more time debugging differences between infrastructure setups than they do on their own code.

Last updated: May 2026 Elixir applications have performance characteristics that are genuinely different from Ruby or Python. The BEAM virtual machine handles concurrency through lightweight processes, supervision trees restart failed processes automatically, and Phoenix channels can hold tens of thousands of persistent connections on a single node. These are strengths, but they also mean that the performance problems you encounter are different from what most APM tools were built to detect.

Effective Kubernetes monitoring in 2026 is critical due to increased cluster scale and microservices complexity, demanding a shift toward unified observability (logs, metrics, and traces). The core focus is leveraging AI-driven features to automate anomaly detection, correlate diverse data, and significantly reduce Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR).

Alert fatigue solutions have never been better, but on-call engineers are still burning out. Threshold tuning, AI triage, and alert correlation reduce the noise, but every alert that clears filtering lands with the same incomplete telemetry and triggers the same manual investigation cycle. This post explains why the evidence gap survives every fix, and how runtime context changes that.

The way we build software has drastically changed over the past few years. What hasn’t changed is that this software ends up in front of real people: you, me, my mom. And when those users inevitably run into something broken, you as the application’s developer need to be equipped with the right tools, context and understanding of what broke, where it broke, and how to fix it as quickly as possible. Every day we’re inching closer to self-healing software.

Dell OpenManage Enterprise (OME) is a management and monitoring application that provides information about Dell servers, chassis, storage, and network switches across the enterprise network. Sunbird’s new Dell OME connector programmatically pulls data from Dell OME into dcTrack, driving automation and giving you a single pane of glass with complete information across all your Dell assets.
