Accelerating Cloudnative Development & DevOps

Cloud-native development, and the resultant rise of DevOps, has transformed how software is built, deployed, and maintained. By embracing containerization, microservices, and continuous delivery, organizations have been able to deliver features faster, scale with demand, and recover from failures more gracefully than ever before. Many organizations are adopting these practices to keep up with industry demands and improve efficiency and security. But this speed and flexibility come with a significant cost - complexity.

Major DAC Update: Expanded Database Support, Enhanced Security, and AI-Powered Features

Building a .NET PostgreSQL MCP Server for Claude Desktop

Querying PostgreSQL in plain English is no longer a futuristic idea; it’s something you can build today. With a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, Claude Desktop connects securely to external systems, including databases, through a structured interface. Here, MCP acts as the bridge between Claude and PostgreSQL, allowing it to run queries, explore schemas, and return results instantly in Markdown. This guide walks you through building that bridge in C#.

OpenTelemetry Logs - A Complete Introduction & Implementation

OpenTelemetry is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation(CNCF) incubating project aimed at standardizing the way we instrument applications for generating telemetry data(logs, metrics, and traces). OpenTelemetry aims to provide a vendor-agnostic observability framework that provides a set of tools, APIs, and SDKs to instrument applications.

The Best Cloud Cost Allocation Methods, Explained

All the major cloud providers enable users to attach business context to their infrastructure in some way. This process — known as cloud cost allocation — is how companies map spend to the teams, products, or features driving it. Done well, cost allocation fuels smarter business decisions. It connects cloud bills to business value, helping teams not just control spend but also understand unit economics and margins.

Go beyond the dashboard: Operationalize DORA with our new Scorecard and Academy course

If you've adopted DORA metrics as your standard for measuring DevOps performance, stop us if this hypothetical scenario doesn't sound familiar. You check your DORA dashboard during a lunch break, full of optimism that you’ll get a clear picture of your team’s performance. Instead, you leave with nothing but a sandwich in your stomach and the nagging feeling that you’re focusing too much on the results of the game instead of the people that are playing it.

How to build an awesome cloud gaming platform with Anbox Cloud

Cloud gaming is changing the way we play. Instead of buying expensive hardware, players stream games from the cloud, like Netflix for games. This is no longer a futuristic idea, it’s here. Services like NVIDIA GeForce Now, Sony PS Plus, and Xbox Cloud Gaming have shown what’s possible: playing high-end games on low-end devices by streaming all of your favorite games – from indie to AAA – from powerful cloud servers.

Rightsizing Cloud Infrastructure: Stop Leaving Money On The Table

In FinOps, rightsizing means adjusting cloud resources (instance types, number of CPUs, amount of memory, storage, databases, containers, and many other configuration parameters) to match actual workload requirements. It’s one of the most powerful levers in the FinOps toolbox, and for good reason. Consider: Average CPU utilization across Kubernetes clusters sits at just 10%, according to Cast AI’s 2025 Kubernetes Cost Benchmark Report.
