Defining a control in a policy document is easy. Proving that every build was evaluated against it - and that nothing non-compliant ever reached production - is the hard part. Kosli's new Controls feature closes that gap. Every control is defined in Kosli, every build is evaluated against it, and deployments are gated automatically when the evidence isn't there. That means: Every control decision is recorded as evidence, build by build Coverage shows exactly where a control is enforced across your environments.

In a recent article, The Register suggested that SQL Server is “too lucrative to ditch, but too legacy to love” - but is that actually true? With many years’ SQL Server, PostgreSQL and Oracle experience between them, Steve Jones, Kellyn Gorman, Grant Fritchey, and Pat Wright offer their thoughts on the article, and the current state of SQL Server as a whole - including how it fares against other databases in 2026.

This video explains how to trace a user through older or inaccessible services using identifiable information like emails or usernames when OpenTelemetry traces are unavailable.

Learn how to trace complex multi-hop transactions across microservices when OpenTelemetry isn't available or trace parents get lost. This quick tutorial demonstrates how to use full-text search in proxymock (a free CLI and UI tool) to isolate user journeys (like looking up a specific username) and instantly generate waterfall tracing views. Whether you are working locally or in a Kubernetes cluster, you can record API traffic, visualize multi-hop requests, and easily transition those captures into load or regression tests.

Experimental robots currently assemble minor subparts of themselves, though practical utility remains a distant milestone. What is physical AI? Physical AI embeds machine learning directly into hardware, enabling algorithms to interact, move, and perform autonomous tasks in the physical world.

Cloud first was gospel for a decade. But the calculus has changed, and organisations are asking harder questions about where their workloads actually belong. In this clip, Civo Product Director Russ Smith breaks down the four forces that have converged to shift the default: spiralling bills that are no longer defensible at scale, the Broadcom acquisition that detonated VMware pricing overnight, sovereignty becoming a boardroom procurement requirement, and AI making new hardware brutally expensive.
