Platform engineering is rapidly evolving as businesses look for more efficient ways to manage infrastructure, automate workflows, and improve developer productivity. In this edition, we’ll explore the top 10 platform engineering platforms for March 2026, optimized for scalability, automation, and ease of use. These platforms empower developers to focus on building code while platform engineers handle infrastructure with reduced complexity.

If you’re part of an IT team, you know losing track of an IT asset can quickly turn into a nightmare. It’s not just about the cost or the lost productivity, it’s also about the security stress that comes with it, and the potential risk of data exposure. That’s why effective asset tracking is a key part of IT Asset Management (ITAM).

When it comes to IoT connectivity, it’s no longer enough for Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and Mobile Service Providers (MSPs) to provide coverage, capacity and SIM cards. As enterprises accelerate their digital transformation, the focus has shifted from basic connectivity to seamless, secure and scalable device-to-cloud integration.

The visual tools assist you to observe the area in which people click, scroll, or spend time on your web pages in the form of heatmaps. Hotjar is among the most trendy tools to create heatmaps – and it is not hard to install it, as long as you follow the steps below. At the conclusion of this guide, you will know.

Whether you’re spinning up your first relational database or running a global e-commerce platform, Aiven for MySQL provides the performance and reliability you need. In the world of open-source databases, MySQL is the engine behind millions of applications, and at Aiven, we believe managing it shouldn't keep you up at night. Our platform is built to grow with you, from when you're just getting started all the way through to enterprise scale.

In July 2024, DigiCert discovered they’d been issuing certificates with improper domain validation for five years. They gave customers 24 hours to replace 83,000 certificates. CISA issued an emergency alert. Critical infrastructure operators couldn’t meet the deadline. Some customers sued. That’s what mass revocation looks like in practice. The CA finds a compliance problem, the clock starts, and everyone scrambles. ACME Renewal Information (ARI) is the fix.

When we first announced the availability of InfluxDB 3 Core and Enterprise on Amazon Timestream for InfluxDB last year, we set a new standard for managed time series on AWS. We gave developers a simple way to harness high performance at scale while removing the burden of infrastructure management. But as our customers have taught us, “at scale” is a moving target. Across Industrial IoT, physical AI, and real-time observability, data is growing in both volume and resolution.

Seamlessly vectorize high-volume data and accelerate your time to production with the new gold standard for GPU-accelerated vector search.

The Grafana Drilldown apps gives you a queryless, point-and-click way to explore your metrics, logs, traces, and profiles. But finding an insight is only half the job—you still need to act on it. Previously, that meant leaving Drilldown, manually copying queries, and navigating through Grafana's dashboards, Alerting, and "Explore" interfaces to pick up where you left off.

With AI writing more and more of our code, properly monitoring and debugging that code has become an increasingly critical part of the development workflow that can't be ignored. Luckily, we have more time than ever to implement the right tools to do so. Implementing a production-ready logging solution is easy to do, and provides you and your LLM Agents with a wealth of debugging information from your app, across users and environments.
