Internal developer portals need native CI/CD integration to scale effectively. Learn how integrated pipelines improve velocity. Explore Harness IDP. This article explains why internal developer portals require native CI/CD integration to achieve true scalability.

Eight LLM and AI agent observability platforms compared: what each tracks, pricing and free tiers, self-hosting options, and who each is built for. Sejal Pandey works on content and growth at Last9, writing about observability, reliability, and SRE practices.

What happens when a citizen-facing portal fails on the last day of a filing deadline, and the only record of the outage lives in an email thread between two engineers? In a commercial organization, that is an operational embarrassment. In a government department, it is a hole in a statutory record that an auditor will eventually ask about.

Version 4.0 renumbered PCI DSS Requirement 10 from end to end, and the Council retired v3.2.1 on 31 March 2024. Sub-requirement numbers written before then mostly point somewhere else now. Four more Requirement 10 rules changed status on 31 March 2025, automated log review among them. Checking your numbering against v4.0.1 costs an afternoon and saves a finding. In this blog, you will: PCI DSS Requirement 10 covers audit logging and monitoring across the cardholder data environment.

As agentic AI workflows gain traction within organizations, those organizations are asking how to account for their behavior while keeping costs manageable. Some are sticking with the old three pillars of observability approach: take a measurement to create a metric, record output to a log, and track serial progress with a trace. Each of these is useful, but treating them as distinct formats from the start means paying for them distinctly too. Separate storage doesn't come cheap.

If you have a large collection of photos you don’t know what to do with, and need a fast, efficient way to store and keep your memories protected, then cloud storage may be the option for you. Moving your photos to cloud storage is a simple way to store, back up, and manage your photo library without relying only on your phone, computer, or physical storage devices. But how do you move photos to the cloud, do your photos automatically get backed up, and how much cloud storage do you actually need?

Netdata AI sees everything your infrastructure does: every metric, every anomaly, every alert. It does not see what your infrastructure is: which services matter, which host is supposed to run hot, who owns what, what your team considers normal. Without that context, “CPU at 91%” is just a finding. With it, it might be a machine doing exactly its job.

When a team relies on automated tests in CI/CD, knowing that tests ran is only the beginning. Understanding whether the suite is healthy, which tests need attention, and how a specific test has behaved over time — that’s what drives action. Bitbucket Tests is evolving to make those answers easier to find and give you tools to improve your test health.

August is a month when things typically quiet down. At VictoriaMetrics, however, we kept up the pace. This month saw two VictoriaMetrics releases, vmanomaly updates, a new Tech Talk, and great blog posts from the VictoriaMetrics team you might have missed.
