Progress Without Control in the Age of AI and Compliance

There’s growing unease in the database world regarding delivering at speed, raising the question – just how do we keep up with the pace of change without losing control of the things that matter most?

Kubernetes For AI: The CTO's Guide

Kubernetes began as a tool to help teams keep thousands of microservices running without falling apart. It gave them a way to schedule workloads, recover from failures, and scale services without constant firefighting. Now, AI has brought back the same chaos, only magnified. Training jobs sprawl across GPUs. Inference traffic spikes without warning. Pipelines stretch across clusters, clouds, and compliance boundaries. Left unchecked, it can break both your workload and cloud budget.

The AI Productivity Paradox-and How We're Solving It

There’s a striking disconnect happening in software development right now. According to the 2025 Stack Overflow Developer Survey, 84% of developers are using or planning to use AI tools in their workflows. Over half of professional developers are using AI daily.
