Database Cost Management: How To Control Rising Database Spend

Feb 23, 2026 By Lyne Carolyne In CloudZero
According to CloudZero’s Cloud Economics Pulse, databases are often among the largest and most persistent cloud cost categories. Database costs are notoriously difficult to predict and control. Unlike stateless infrastructure that scales predictably with traffic, databases run continuously and expand behind the scenes, causing costs to rise even when usage appears stable. Because databases run continuously and expand behind the scenes, costs can rise even when usage appears stable.

Getting started with Claude Code and CircleCI

Feb 23, 2026 By Roger Winter In CircleCI
AI-powered coding tools are changing how developers work. Tools like Claude Code can write functions, refactor code, and build features through natural conversation, often faster than you could type them yourself. But speed creates its own risks. AI-generated code can contain subtle bugs, reference packages that don’t exist, or misuse APIs in ways that only surface at runtime. That’s where continuous integration comes in. CI is a safety net that lets you move fast confidently.

AI SRE in Practice: Accelerating Engineer Onboarding with Contextual Expertise

Feb 22, 2026 By Itiel Shwartz In Komodor
Onboarding new engineers to complex Kubernetes environments is expensive. Junior engineers need to learn cluster architecture, understand organizational conventions, navigate internal documentation, and build relationships with senior team members who can answer questions. The process takes weeks or months, and during that time, senior engineers spend significant time mentoring instead of working on complex problems.

Expert Insight: Why Local Internet Traffic Matters More Than You Think

Expert Insight: Why Local Internet Traffic Matters More Than You Think

Feb 20, 2026 By Mike Hoy, CTO, Pulsant, and Mike Hellers, Product Development Manager, LINX In Pulsant
Imagine sending a letter to your neighbour across the street, only for it to be routed through London or even Amsterdam before landing in their letterbox. This is effectively what happens to much of Scotland's internet traffic. Despite physical proximity between users, businesses and services, digital data is frequently sent on needlessly long journeys, often leaving the country before reaching its destination. This approach is inefficient, costly and poses questions about privacy, resilience and digital sovereignty.
