In this latest ecosystem update, we’re introducing further enhancements to the Console Connect platform, with new data centre deployments and expanded availability of cloud on-ramps across key global locations.

One of the most common requests we’ve gotten since launching custom dashboards is deceptively simple: “How do I put this on a TV?” Teams want their dashboards on wall-mounted screens in NOCs, war rooms, and open office spaces. The dashboard is already built. The data is already there. They just need a way to display it on a screen that nobody is logged into, without exposing the full Netdata Cloud interface. TV mode does exactly this.

Bitbucket Pipelines has always been an engine for automating more than just CI/CD, but today, Pipelines takes a first step towards a full agentic automation platform for all the manual, tedious, repetitive work that happens before and after code creation. You’ve probably seen the stat: Development teams spend 84% of their day doing things other than building features. A lot of this work is: This work matters, but it’s not very fun.

Stranded capacity might be costing you more than you realize. It’s time to explore what this means for your data center and how it impacts your bottom line.

This post by an engineer explains how his team uses the.claude folder in Claude Code. The folder is the hidden directory where you store context files, behavioral rules, and automated workflows so Claude understands how to operate in a specific project. He’d set up coding conventions, tool configs, CI integrations. Very engineering-brained. The tool is called Claude Code, so fair enough. I run a web and content team. We write blog posts, tutorials, and technical guides for a living.

Key takeaway: Hyperscaler pricing models often penalize e-commerce growth due to unpredictable egress fees and unbounded auto-scaling, but moving to a resource-based allocation model allows teams to treat infrastructure costs as a deliberate business decision rather than a post-campaign surprise. Ecommerce traffic doesn't grow linearly. It spikes, and every spike rewrites your cloud bill.

Every agent demo follows the same arc. The agent calls an API. A deployment triggers. A ticket gets created. The audience is impressed. Then someone asks a real question: "Which regions had the highest order failure rate this quarter, and are any of them linked to vendor SLA breaches?" That question crosses four entity types — orders, fulfillment records, vendors, SLA contracts.

Database changes are inherently complex: coordinating schema updates, managing risk, and avoiding downtime all require care. Even when teams improve how they deliver those changes, governance often remains inconsistent, manual, and reactive. In many environments, governance is treated as a separate layer around deployment. Policies are applied unevenly, approvals become bottlenecks, and audit evidence is assembled after the fact, creating gaps in enforcement and increasing operational risk.
