Where Automation Helps Marketing and Where It Quietly Hurts

Marketing has automated itself many times over. Email sequences, scheduled social posts, programmatic media, lead scoring, CRM workflows: much of the modern marketing stack already runs without anyone touching it. The newer wave of AI-driven automation is not a break from that history so much as an acceleration of it. What is new is reach. It can now take on tasks that used to require human language and human judgement.

How to Turn Plain-Text Schedules Into Shareable Calendars

I posted a release-train schedule in Slack last quarter. It was twelve lines of plain text with dates, time zones, and service names. Within a week, two teams missed change windows because they typed the wrong times into Google Calendar. A third team never saw the schedule at all. That is the risk of keeping operational schedules in a wiki when they belong in every stakeholder's calendar.

Our First Take on Citrix Platform Flex

On May 12, 2026, Citrix officially announced Platform Flex, a new consumption-based model for the Citrix Platform. At first glance, it looks like yet another licensing change, something Citrix customers have become fairly used to over the years. But after digging through the documentation, Platform Flex appears to be more than just another packaging exercise. The real change is that Citrix is moving toward a credit-based desktop consumption model.

Clouds Without the Fog: Unified Control for Hybrid SAP

SAP customers with complex SAP know the challenges of managing multiple landscapes well. While classic tools like SAP Landscape Management (LaMa) and Focused Run served us well for years, they were built for a static, on-premises world. Now, with the 2027 end-of-support deadline for legacy solutions looming, the "fog" of hybrid management is getting thicker.

Cybersecurity Tips for Small Businesses

Small businesses are now among the most frequently targeted organizations in the world. Attackers focus on them not because they have the most to steal, but because they tend to have fewer defenses, smaller teams, and less time to spend on security. The good news is that the majority of attacks rely on a small set of well-understood techniques, and most of them can be prevented or contained with practical, affordable controls.

How we cut build times by two-thirds by deleting our CMS

At Sentry, we’re obsessed with things not breaking. It’s kind of our whole deal. But for a while, our own marketing site was testing that obsession. Much of what you see on sentry.io (the marketing site, blog, open source microsite, etc.) were running on a fleet of legacy Gatsby sites powered by a traditional headless CMS. On paper, it worked.

Hamed Silatani, co-founder and CEO of Uptime Labs, and former Head of Reliability Engineering at IG Group, has spent two decades watching engineers learn incident response the hard way: alone, under pressure, with no training.

From Insight to Action: Operationalizing Logicmonitor + Catchpoint for Unified Observability

Visibility without control is just expensive awareness. Most IT teams can see when something’s wrong, but can’t easily tell who’s affected, why, or what to do next. In other words, they lack real control. In this in‑depth session, LogicMonitor’s Callum Brown and Brandon Delap showed how to move past that.
