DNS Check now supports monitoring HTTPS records and SVCB records, DNS record types 65 and 64, both standardized in RFC 9460. They tell a client how to connect to a service rather than only where it is: which HTTP versions the endpoint speaks, which port it listens on, which addresses it can start connecting to, and which keys it needs for Encrypted ClientHello, all before it opens a connection.

Database branching solves a strange mismatch in modern development: code gets its own branch, but the database often doesn’t. Developers can work independently in Git, then end up sharing the same development database, waiting for a fresh copy, or trying not to break each other’s schema changes. The result is a lot of database sprawl.

In 2026, a hybrid cloud is no longer something organizations are working toward; it's already where they are.

It is 2:14 a.m. An agent has correlated a latency spike to an asymmetric routing condition and is ready to reroute traffic away from the affected path. The plan looks right. The only question that matters to the on-call SRE is whether to let it run, and that question is not really about the agent. It is about whether the picture the agent reasoned from is complete enough to trust at 2 a.m. with production on the line.

When a major incident opens, the opening minutes often become a race across disconnected tools and competing theories. One engineer checks a monitoring tool. Another scrolls through change records, looking for the one line that explains everything. A third pings Slack, asking if anyone has seen this before. While these are reasonable steps, taken one at a time, in sequence, they are far too slow.
