HAProxy 3.4 is a milestone release that significantly advances HAProxy’s legendary flexibility, performance, security, reliability, and observability. Dynamic backend management simplifies integration with modern architectures, memory efficiency improves across a broader range of workloads, native cryptographic operations at the proxy layer open new possibilities for API security architectures, and OpenTelemetry support makes HAProxy a first-class participant in distributed tracing pipelines.

Gartner expects worldwide AI software spending to hit $2.59 trillion in 2026, 47% more than organizations spent last year. The dollars are real and growing fast. But most organizations still can't measure the ROI of that spend. The problem has two sides: developers and infrastructure. On the developer side, engineers are using AI to write nearly every line of new code, and leaders have no way to tell whether that spend is producing software that ships.

Today, Canonical announced the release of Workshop, a solution for launching development environments with a single command. These environments are configured once, and can be reproduced on different machines. This means consistent workflows across development machines and deployment pipelines, and less time managing dependencies.

If you manage enterprise networks, this scenario probably sounds familiar: An IP conflict surfaces, connectivity drops for a group of users, and the confusion begins. You check your DHCP server, dig through scope utilization, and try to piece together what went wrong, often after the disruption has already occurred. For years, network administrators have needed a single console for visibility and control into DHCP.

Every single day, the Sumo Logic Platform analyzes more than four exabytes of log data. The good news? The answers to your application performance, infrastructure health, and security incidents are hidden in those logs. The challenge? Historically, uncovering those answers required query language fluency. That’s why we built Mobot, our conversational interface that connects users to advanced AI capabilities using natural language.

Your logs know too much. Every debug statement, every traced request, every APM span can carry the risk of capturing something they shouldn't. A customer email. A JWT token. A credit card number. An API key that was never meant to leave your payment service. It doesn't look like a breach. There's no alert. Your observability platform just quietly accumulates sensitive data like indexed, replicated, and accessible to every engineer with log query access.
