Integrating Digital Employee Experience (DEX) with ServiceNow: What IT Teams Need to Know

As CTO for Teneo, I get the opportunity to meet with many of our customers to talk about plans for the next few years. I often find we spend a lot of time talking about Digital Employee Experience, but far less time is spent fixing the operational friction that quietly erodes it. Slow devices, degraded application performance, and recurring service desk tickets are common themes in many organizations.

Build WireMock mappings fast from real traffic

I’m a big fan of service mocking. I’ve been working in and around software for about 25 years, and one thing never changes: when you sit down to work on your code, you almost never have everything available. The database, the third-party API, the message queue, the service two teams over. Something’s missing. So you’ve got to stub it out or mock it out and keep moving.

Introducing the New Galileo Website: A Better Resource for IT Visibility, Optimization, and Planning

That's why we've launched a completely redesigned Galileo website. The new site isn't just a fresh look but rather a reflection of our commitment to helping IT teams gain the visibility, insight, and guidance they need to manage modern infrastructure more effectively.

How to run an operational excellence review for software engineering

Most engineering organizations already run something they call an operational review. It usually looks like a cousin of the quarterly business review: a deck assembled every few months, walked through team by team, anchored on whatever incidents happened to land in the previous quarter. By the time leadership sees the data, the systems it describes have moved on and the next set of risks is already accumulating in the gap.

Klaudia Under the Hood: How We Built an AI SRE That Actually Earns Trust

In reliability engineering, being ‘mostly right’ is a liability. An AI SRE that sometimes misses the root cause or gives a confident, wrong answer at 2:17 AM has no place in an enterprise cloud environment. In this context, silence is better than noise. That’s the bar Klaudia is built to clear: genuine reliability that you can trust in production. The kind of reliability that earns a place alongside your best engineers. Getting there requires more than just a capable model.

Operational excellence (OpEx) reviews: the weekly meeting that actually changes behavior

Cortex co-founder and CTO Ganesh Datta sits down with Shawn Burke, Distinguished Engineer at Cortex, to explore what separates an operational excellence review that drives real engineering behavior from one that produces great conversation and nothing else. Shawn draws on experience from SoFi, Uber, and Microsoft to explain why these reviews so often fail—and how to build a process that actually sticks.

Wrapping up recent 2026 PostgreSQL community events | The Simple Talk Podcast

Two major PostgreSQL community events took place recently: PostgreSQL Development Conference 2026 (Vancouver, BC, Canada), and PG DATA 2026 (Chicago, IL). Pat Wright and Kellyn Gorman attended both and, in this quick-fire episode, offer their thoughts and key takeaways from the events. Recorded on-site at PASS Summit Europe in Frankfurt, Germany (June 11th, 2026).

Platform engineering unplugged: What nobody tells you about platform engineering at scale

Most platform engineering stories are told in hindsight, with the rough edges smoothed out. On June 17th, we are doing it differently. Join us for Platform Engineering Unplugged, a frank conversation with a practitioner who has navigated the real challenges of building and scaling platform engineering. What worked, what didn't, and what they would do differently. If you lead engineering teams and are thinking seriously about platform engineering, this is the session for you.

Cooldown policies - Block malicious packages at the index

Every dependency pull is a trust decision. Public registries don't vet what they serve. Cooldown policies give you a gate at the moment that matters most: when a package first enters your environment. Dan McKinney (Solutions Engineering Manager) walks through how Cloudsmith's cooldown policies work and how to configure one in under five minutes. What Dan covers.
