We’ve overhauled macOS monitoring in the latest Netdata release. Netdata already collects system metrics on Macs at per-second resolution; this release completes the picture with logs and hardware telemetry, areas that previously required users to run CLI tools like log show and powermetrics. The new collectors read this data through Apple’s own frameworks, allowing users to trace application and OS errors and catch hardware issues early.

Application autoscaling has existed for years. Database autoscaling has lagged behind. Today, that changes on Upsun. Managed PostgreSQL and MariaDB read replicas now autoscale, joining worker autoscaling in production since March 2026. Apps, workers, and managed databases all autoscalead replicas saturate first, connection pools max, someone getse on one platform - natively, without a third-party database engine or a Kubernetes layer to operate. Three operational headaches just disappeared.

A DevOps platform unifies the entire software delivery lifecycle. Unlike standalone tools that automate individual tasks, a DevOps platform connects CI/CD, security, governance, artifact management, infrastructure, and engineering workflows into a single software delivery system. Tool sprawl creates operational complexity as engineering organizations scale.

Ford's competitors had the same electric motors he did. Most just swapped out the steam engine and kept the old factory layout, a costly mistake. Ford used the new tech to rebuild the plant around the flow of the car. Knowing how much power each machine drew, he knew his cost to produce a car, and made personal automobiles affordable for all.
