From Code To Clicks: A Visual Way To Build Dimensions In CloudZero

In early October, we launched Dimension Studio, a new visual editor for engineers and others that brings point-and-click simplicity to the same powerful, precise allocation engine CloudZero is known for. Before that, when CloudZero users built cloud cost allocations, they got it from our YAML-based CostFormation engine, a code-driven way to describe how cloud and AI costs roll up to products, customers, or teams.

Announcing HAProxy ALOHA 17.5

HAProxy ALOHA 17.5 is now available. This release delivers powerful new capabilities that improve security and performance — while future-proofing HAProxy ALOHA to enable richer features and advanced functionality. With this release, we’re introducing HTTPS health checks to Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB), new partitioning for larger firmware updates, enhanced web application firewall (WAF) functionality, and our new Threat Detection Engine (TDE).

Top 11 Ruby APM Tools for 2025: A Performance-Driven Selection

Observability has become a core part of running Ruby applications at scale. Knowing how your app performs — from request latency to background job execution — helps catch slowdowns early and improve reliability. This blog walks through some of the most useful APM tools for Ruby in 2025. Each section highlights what the tool does well, where it fits best, and what kind of visibility it brings to your application's performance.

Single-Cloud Dependency Is a Disaster Waiting to Happen

The impact of the AWS outage has reminded many businesses of the risk for businesses that rely heavily on centralised cloud infrastructure, especially when so many essential services are concentrated in a single region. But at the wider industry level, this is also a warning around the widespread lack of contingency planning for cloud failures. Reactive response must give way to strategically planned disaster recovery protocols that engender a resilient cloud market.

Scale Chaos Engineering with Automation and AI

Chaos Engineering and Fault Injection testing have been proven to prevent outages, increase availability, and help companies avoid costly downtime. But without the right processes or tools, they require specialized knowledge, a deep understanding of systems, and manual effort for every test. To fully realize the benefits of Chaos Engineering, testing needs to be adopted across all engineering teams without causing a lift or investment that takes away from roadmap progress.

C15 Roadmap & Release 22

We’re excited to launch Release 22—our most advanced update yet. It delivers smarter controls, deeper customization, and long-term reliability. Key improvements include enhanced handling of TTY messages with Wireshark support, flexible call history recording, new Stir/Shaken override options for better traceability, and real-time call limit tracking with an upgraded interface. Plus, starting March 25, 2026, SIP code 603+ will notify callers when calls are blocked due to analytics, in line with FCC regulations.

Enhanced Flexibility and Security Monitoring - New in DataStream

This update delivers significant advances in operational flexibility and security monitoring capabilities. It addresses the evolving needs of security teams across diverse deployment environments, from air-gapped networks to those prioritizing automation and simplicity, while expanding integration options and improving visibility into data flows.
