What Are The Chances Your Business Is Doing Everything Right?

What Are The Chances Your Business Is Doing Everything Right?

May 25, 2026 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
What are the chances that your business is doing literally everything right? We'll answer for you - the chances are very low. Most companies don't do everything right because it's near impossible to make this happen. There are so many moving parts of a business that are all working at any given time, and it can feel as though there is no way for things to all be working right at the same time.

Your Company Has 10x More Developers Than You Think

May 24, 2026 By Romaric Philogene In Qovery
The low-code promise failed for 15 years. AI builders delivered in 15 months. Here's what actually changed, why the engineer in me resisted it, and what it means for every CTO. Romaric founded Qovery to make Kubernetes accessible to every engineering team. He writes about platform strategy, developer experience, and the future of cloud infrastructure.

Key Metrics To Better Understand Your Employees

Key Metrics To Better Understand Your Employees

May 24, 2026 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
The sad fact of the world is that most businesses don't truly understand their employees. Many managers think they do, but in reality they're often living in ignorance and not really getting a full picture of what they're thinking and feeling. Because of this, it's critical to use data metrics and proper survey methods. When you have operational and sentiment data telling you what employees are doing and how they're feeling, it allows you to better manage them and understand how they operate. This can reduce turnover and make your entire organisation more effective and efficient.

WireMock alternatives: pick the one that fits your problem

May 22, 2026 By Samuel Umoren In Speedscale
Picture this. You’re standing up a new service. Cursor or Claude Code wrote most of the controller, and it calls a payment API your team doesn’t own. Now you need tests. The agent is gamely inventing the response shape from whatever OpenAPI doc you fed it (which is a year stale), and the WireMock stubs it just generated are guesses dressed up as JSON. Three weeks later production breaks, the test suite was green the whole time, and nobody knows where to start looking.

How to measure developer experience (DevEx) in the AI era

May 22, 2026 By Datadog In Datadog
As AI coding assistants dramatically inflate PR counts, commit frequency, and lines of code, the limitations of individual output metrics have never been more apparent. A developer can now produce significantly more lines per session, but higher volume doesn’t guarantee that the code is stable, maintainable, or successfully running in production. GitClear analyzed over 200 million lines of code and found that code churn nearly doubled following widespread AI adoption.

The Five Pillars of AI Agent Accountability: A Diagnostic Framework for Engineering Leaders

May 22, 2026 By Alister Baroi In Tigera
You’re in a board meeting. The CISO is presenting on AI risk. The CFO asks a simple question: “When that finance agent we deployed last quarter accessed a customer payment record, can we tell who authorized it, what policy permitted it, and produce the full audit trail?” The CISO looks at the head of the platform. The head of the platform looks at security. Nobody answers. If you can picture that meeting happening at your company, you’re not alone.

Why Traditional Observability Breaks Down in Hybrid Cloud Environments

May 22, 2026 By Dallon Robinette In Selector
Hybrid cloud has reshaped the way enterprises build, run, and troubleshoot digital services. Applications now stretch across on-premises infrastructure, cloud platforms, regional services, interconnects, and distributed dependencies that change constantly. Operational complexity has expanded with that footprint, yet many observability practices still reflect assumptions from an earlier era of simpler architectures and clearer boundaries. That gap shows up fast during an incident.

Monitor your Render services with AppSignal

May 22, 2026 By Karen Patteri de Souza In AppSignal
AppSignal now supports Render's Metrics Stream. Configure it once in your Render workspace and Render forwards OpenTelemetry metrics to the AppSignal Collector. From there, the metrics show up in your AppSignal app as host metrics and automated dashboards. You only have to set up the stream once per workspace.

Decoding design: How design and engineering thrive together in open source

May 22, 2026 By Miguel Divo In Canonical
Open source thrives on engineering-driven processes. Fast feedback loops, terminal tools, Git workflows: they’re the lifeblood of how we build software in the open. But for software to truly excel, we need to create user experiences that empower people to use them. I wanted to bring this conversation into the spotlight as part of Canonical’s Open Design initiatives. What better way than at FOSS Backstage 2026 Berlin?

A Runnable Reference Architecture for Industrial IoT on InfluxDB 3

May 22, 2026 By Ian Clark In InfluxData
Industrial teams keep telling us the same thing: the data is there, but the stack to act on it isn’t. PLCs, CNCs, SCADA systems, vibration sensors, and quality stations all generate high-frequency telemetry that gets stranded in proprietary historians or stitched together with point integrations nobody wants to own. By the time anyone looks at it, the moment to act has passed.
