You can instrument Jenkins with OpenTelemetry using the official plugin and an OpenTelemetry Collector, then send the data to a backend like Last9 to understand where pipeline latency and failures actually originate. Jenkins provides job status and console logs, but it doesn't show how time is distributed across stages, agents, plugins, and external systems. OpenTelemetry fills that gap by emitting traces, metrics, and logs in a standard format that any OTLP-compatible backend can process.

Eliminate non-coding toil with Qovery’s AI DevOps Agent. Discover how shifting from static automation to specialized DevOps AI agents optimizes FinOps, security, and infrastructure management.

The effectiveness of Tableau Salesforce integration depends on one decisive factor: the connector. While Tableau’s native connector is straightforward and offers quick access, it lacks support for complex joins, uses scheduled extracts for refreshes, and doesn’t extend to other BI or ETL platforms. To overcome these constraints, many organizations implement ODBC Drivers, which deliver SQL depth and governance designed for analytics at scale.

In.NET systems, performance is often won or lost on the read path. Every extra database or API call adds latency and cost. Caching fixes that by keeping frequently used data, like product lists or lookups, close to your code, turning slow trips into instant reads. This is not theoretical, it works in the real world. Stack Overflow runs a two-tier cache (in-process + Redis), where a Redis hop takes only 0.2–0.5 ms and local memory reads are effectively instant.

(Almost) everyone is using generative AI, and just as many aren’t seeing any benefits. Research firm Gartner calls it the “gen AI paradox” — nearly 80% of companies say they’ve invested in generative solutions, and the same number report no benefits to their bottom line. What’s more, 90% of projects are stuck in pilot mode; ready to take off, but just can’t get up to speed.

Learn what IPsec is, how it works, key protocols and VPN types, and how to combine IPsec with NaaS for secure, scalable network connectivity.

Harness makes software delivery in AWS faster, safer, and more delightful. Harness, the AI Platform for Everything After Code, offers CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code management, and cloud cost management capabilities tailored to the AWS environment. Harness has come a long way since its 2019 debut on the AWS Marketplace. Back then, over half of Harness customers were already running on AWS, and Harness focused on delivering Continuous Delivery as a Service for AWS applications.

Harness Database DevOps was born from a simple question - how can database delivery be as seamless and safe as application delivery? Through deep collaboration with design partners, open-source learnings, and relentless iteration, the team built a platform that unites developers, DBAs, and DevOps under a single, automated workflow. At its core, it’s a story of empathy-driven engineering - transforming database change management into a faster, more reliable, and collaborative experience.
