Harnessing Network Observability to Speed the Telco-to-Techco Transition

For telecommunications firms (telcos), the race is on. If these organizations are to rise to meet their top challenges and growth objectives, transformation is a must. Those who make this move most rapidly will be best positioned for sustained success. Today, telcos face several significant challenges, which are creating fundamental disruption: Telcos need to transform to contend with these shifts.

Getting started with Cloudflare dashboards

Cloudflare is a widely adopted web performance and security platform, best known for its CDN, DDoS protection, and DNS services. While it provides rich telemetry and real-time analytics, the sheer volume and complexity of the data can make it hard to identify key trends or issues at a glance. This is where a solution like SquaredUp (or another dashboarding tool) comes in.

Structured Logging in NextJS with OpenTelemetry

Traces tell you what happened and when. Logs tell you why. When something breaks, logs are often your first clue—and if they’re correlated with traces, they can cut debugging time down from hours to minutes. In this section, we’ll wire up end-to-end structured logging across both server and browser environments in your Next.js app, complete with trace correlation and SigNoz integration.

Insights to keep AI applications reliable

AI has become a massive investment for companies. Engineering teams across industries are integrating AI into their products, whether it’s through homegrown, self-managed models or third-party model integrations. But no matter how much AI shifts the user experience, it’s still an application, which means your engineering team still needs to operate it and keep it reliable. At the same time, AI applications add complexity and complications that require a shift in your approach.

Custom timeframes are here!

In the realm of data and observability, timing is everything. Until now, SquaredUp provided fixed time options like the last hour, 12 hours, 24 hours, last week, and this month. While these options served many users well, we recognized that they lacked the flexibility you needed. Whether you're tracking long-term performance, comparing trends, or looking into specific events, we know these preset options could sometimes feel limiting.

Understanding Playwright test hooks in the CI context (JavaScript) - A complete tutorial

All applications need some form of testing, whether frontend, backend, stress testing, or any other. Playwright can help. Playwright is an end-to-end testing framework for web applications, supporting cross-browser testing (Chromium, Firefox, WebKit) from a single API. Its built-in test runner (Playwright Test) provides hook functions to manage set-up and tear-down logic around your tests.

Validating OS-compatibility for locally-run LLMs using Ollama with CI/CD matrix workflows

Large Language Models (LLMs) are becoming increasingly accessible, with regular adoption of open-source models and the growing ecosystem of tools for running them locally. Compact versions are now able to run on consumer-grade hardware, so developers are using LLMs on personal devices like Linux workstations, macOS laptops, or even Windows machines. As this trend grows, so does the need to ensure that your LLM-powered applications run reliably across all major operating systems.

Evolving deployments in Bitbucket Pipelines: Concurrency Groups and Environments

We’re excited to announce that Bitbucket Cloud is introducing two powerful new features in Bitbucket Pipelines: Concurrency Groups and Environments. These enhancements are part of a broader initiative to make the Deployments functionality more flexible and user-friendly by breaking down its current monolithic structure into smaller, more granular capabilities that you can control directly.

Why migrate from Xamarin to MAUI? Key benefits and new features

Last year, those working in cross-platform development saw a big transformation. It marked the official conclusion of Microsoft's support for Xamarin - a popular framework used by mobile application developers. However, this resulted from the release of a brand new framework called.NET MAUI (Multi-platform App UI). If you haven't yet migrated, you're not just missing out on the support, but a number of great benefits and features too. Here's what you need to know.

6 Things to Keep in Mind When Choosing Packaging Design Software for Your Business

In today's digital-first, experience-driven marketplace, packaging plays a far bigger role than merely housing products. It's a visual touchpoint, a brand storyteller, and often the first thing a customer sees. Research shows that 72% of consumers say packaging design influences their buying decisions, and 40% of online buyers share unboxing experiences on social media. For print service providers and packaging businesses, that's not just a trend but it's a growth opportunity.
