Flexible, Evidence-Driven Compliance: Meet Kosli's Custom Attestations

At Kosli, we believe that governance in software delivery shouldn’t be a bottleneck – it should be an extension of how your teams already work. That’s why we’re excited to introduce custom attestations in Kosli. Here’s the short version: What are custom attestations? They let you record facts about your workflows – with evidence – using controls that actually match your processes. Why does this matter? Because generic attestations can miss the mark.

5 UX Best Practices for Resilient & High-Performing Mobile Apps

What keeps users coming back to an app? Speed helps. Stability matters. But more than anything, people return to tools that feel easy to use, even under pressure. When an application responds clearly and behaves as expected, users are more likely to stick around. UX design plays a quiet but powerful role in this. It's not just about how something looks-it's how it works. The small details in navigation, layout, and screen flow all contribute to whether someone continues using an app or closes it within seconds.

Why You Need Real User Monitoring to Really Understand Your Web Performance

Great Lighthouse scores, but your site is still slow. Sound familiar? You’ve run PageSpeed Insights, Request Metrics, and every other synthetic test you can find. Your scores look great. But your analytics shows users bouncing, conversions dropping, and complaints about “slow pages.” What’s going on? The answer is simple: synthetic testing only tells you how your site performs in a test, not how it performs for real users in the real world.

Open Container Initiative (OCI) Support in Cloudsmith

Kubernetes has become the de facto platform for orchestrating containers. Open standards complement Kubernetes by defining best practices for its implementation. These standards are developed by the open-source Kubernetes community (not a single vendor), ensuring vendor neutrality, easier integration with other tools, and overall system efficiency.

Multiple Malicious Packages Discovered on PyPI, npm, and RubyGems

Evidence of broad and sustained attacks using several npm, Python, and Ruby packages continues to emerge. A series of malicious packages have been added to the npm, PyPI, and RubyGems package repositories. The attacks have been ongoing for some time, with some seeded years ago. Their aims are manifold, including stealing funds from crypto wallets, deleting codebases, and obtaining Telegram messaging data.

Beyond Shift Left: Engineering Leaders Increase Speed and Resilience With Observability

We recently had the privilege of hosting several industry experts and technology executives across platform strategy, SRE, and engineering enablement for breakfast at our Observability Day in London. We noted that they’re all facing the same fundamental tension: deliver faster, scale smarter, stay resilient, and somehow get ahead of what’s coming next. But how do you move fast without breaking things? And how do you prove the value of the things you don’t break?

What if your container images were security-maintained at the source?

Software supply chain security has become a top concern for developers, DevOps engineers, and IT leaders. High-profile breaches and dependency compromises have shown that open source components can introduce risk if not properly vetted and maintained. Although containerization has become commonplace in contemporary development and deployment, it can have drawbacks in terms of reproducibility and security.

Shift-Left Monitoring for GitHub and Vercel Workflows

A recent LinkedIn poll by Peter Zaitsev asked: “What is the most common preventable cause of downtime in your environment?” Guess what most respondents said it was? Surprise, surprise – the top answer is Deploying Broken Code, with 57% of respondents selecting it. This reinforces how critical it is to catch issues before they hit production.
