AI for nuclear safety: Predicting component remaining useful life

As industrial systems become more complex in 2026, the reliability of critical infrastructure depends on shifting from reactive to predictive strategies. In this session from Civo Navigate India, Muthukumar Ganesan, a scientist at the Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR), explores the application of AI and machine learning in securing the future of nuclear energy.

A Technical Guide to Controls Engineering

The modern world runs on mission-critical software. It moves our money, drives our cars, diagnoses our illnesses, and fundamentally improves our lives. But, organizations building this critical software face a paradox: they need to move fast to stay competitive, but they also need rigorous governance to manage risk. This has created a lot of tension in regulated industries.

Code Is Cheap, Reliability Isn't: Owning Production in the AI era w/ Swizec Teller

In this episode, Swizec Teller, author of the bestselling Scaling Fast, makes a bold claim: code is cheap, reliability is not. As AI coding tools accelerate feature development, the real competitive advantage shifts to operating systems reliably in production. We explore the hidden complexity of SRE work, the addictive nature of agentic coding, and why ownership — not automation — remains at the core of modern software engineering.

Scaling Infrastructure Teams: The Increasing Need for Rust Engineers

The Infrastructure teams have had to continuously improve current systems to make them faster, safer, and more reliable. With the growth of cloud services, the complexity of applications, and the demand for low-latency processing, engineering teams still need the best tools and languages to build these systems. The traditional languages that have been used for decades to power system-level development, i.e., C, C++, and Java, have long been the standard. But as software system complexity becomes unsustainable, the factors that limit safety, memory management, and concurrency are becoming increasingly obvious.

Oracle JDK to OpenJDK: A Guide to Reliable Migration Testing

One of the most common infrastructure changes Java developers and operators are dealing with today is the migration from Oracle Java to OpenJDK. The reason is the licensing changes made by Oracle and the maturity of the OpenJDK distributions. The migration process is quite simple: replace the JDK, recompile the code, and redeploy the application. However, the differences between the two runtimes can lead to unexpected issues that are not caught by unit tests.

Speedscale Named in Gartner Market Guide for API Testing

In the highly dynamic environment of modern engineering, an appropriate strategy for API quality is more important than ever. We are pleased to announce that Speedscale has been named in the latest “Market Guide for API and MCP Testing Tools” report from Gartner. As software development is shifting towards complex distributed architectures, integrating Model Context Protocol (MCP) for AI-based workflows, the need for realistic testing has never been higher.

Redgate Flyway, Oracle, and the Case of the Lowercase Schema

If you’ve spent any time working with Oracle databases, you’ve probably internalized a few expectations so deeply that you don’t even think about them anymore. One of the biggest is this: Database users, tables, views, and metadata are in UPPERCASE. So, when you query the database directly, no matter if using SQL*Plus, SQLcl,SQL Developer, or any other tool, you’re going to format your query in a common way.

Why Security and Stability Matter in Infrastructure Management

In the high-stakes world of modern infrastructure management, "move fast but break things" is not a viable strategy. As organizations scale their digital footprints, the competing demands of velocity and vulnerability have created a new operational reality. Today, the integrity of your infrastructure is synonymous with the integrity of your business. For system administrators and DevOps engineers, the landscape has shifted. It is not enough to simply provision servers and deploy applications.
