SUSE is committed to improving its container management platform.

Engineering Excellence Summits Recap

The best engineering teams ship quality software quickly, but doing that consistently requires more than just speed. It requires careful attention to reliability, security, ease of maintenance, and developer experience. The Engineering Excellence Summits were designed to create a community of engineering leaders looking to connect with others facing similar challenges, share approaches that are working, and learn what “better” can look like.

Platform engineering with a product-management mindset

To really make an impact, platform engineering teams need to start thinking like product managers. That means deeply understanding their users, measuring outcomes instead of outputs, and tying everything they do to real business value. Organizations who care about total cost of ownership and fast time to value are adopting this mindset.

Securing AI with AI-SPM: The Next Step in AI Risk Management

The conversations around artificial intelligence (AI) typically revolve around its vast potential: writing applications, automating tasks, or transforming entire industries. However, despite the excitement around AI’s potential, the more pressing issue for many organizations is how to manage the risks of deploying it at scale across the enterprise. This is where AI Security Posture Management (AI-SPM) comes into play.

What we learned from load testing Shopware at scale

We ran real-world load tests across seven different infrastructure plans—from Grid to Dedicated Split—using realistic conversion rates, bot traffic blends, and ERP-driven API imports. The findings were clear: performance scales predictably with resources, but only if your code, cache, and configuration keep up. This blog post walks through key results, why API load is disproportionately expensive, and what metrics matter most. How well does Shopware actually perform under load?
