Pulsant recently pledged to slash its carbon and other emissions as part of a thorough review of the entire business. Our goal is to halve all emissions by 2030 and achieve Net Zero by 2050 at the latest. This will require a continued and sustained effort. To be effective we will need to understand our connections to bring all our suppliers, vendors, clients, and of course our people, with us. Our ambition will be validated in accordance with the Science Based Targets Initiatives’ Net Zero Standard.

Behind every reliable dashboard and morning report stands a system of accountability: SQL Server Agent jobs. They’re what keeps backups on time, analytics flowing, and data pipelines steady when everything else moves fast. However, to sustain that reliability, SQL Server Agent must operate with precision at scale.

If you’re like most developers, you know that writing code isn’t the bottleneck anymore. AI has made it faster than ever, and chances are you’re already using it. Yet, delivering software is still complex because of everything else you have to manage: fixing vulnerabilities, reducing tech debt, cleaning up feature flags, ensuring test coverage, writing documentation, and the list goes on.

This post is a deep dive into how we improved the P95 latency of an API endpoint from 5s to 0.3s using a niche little computer science trick called a bloom filter. We’ll cover why the endpoint was slow, the options we considered to make it fast and how we decided between them, and how it all works under the hood.

Atlassian is shutting down OpsGenie. New sales already stopped on June 4, 2025, and the platform will be completely offline by April 5, 2027.

And if you’re not sure JSM is the right fit for your team’s incident management needs, this review will help you decide. I signed up for JSM and put it through real-world testing.

Open source has come a long way. Recently I was watching a keynote address by our founder, Mark Shuttleworth, in which he discussed his vision for Ubuntu to provide quality support and security maintenance across the broad open source ecosystem, and it made me reflect on how far the open source software (OSS) community has come. Indeed, when looking at today’s interoperable open source landscape, the fragmented, disconnected landscape of the past seems like another planet.
