Workflows usually look great on paper. Approvals are clear, steps are defined, and responsibilities are assigned. Then, the request hits a familiar wall: someone has to jump into another tool to finish the job. A user gets approved, but the account still needs to be created. An offboarding task closes, yet access hasn’t been removed everywhere. Built-in connectors are designed for that moment.

More than half of all connections to web services now originate from mobile devices. Mobile apps are no longer peripheral - they are central to how businesses engage customers, deliver services, and generate revenue. Despite this shift, many organizations still rely on observability tools that are fundamentally server-centric. These platforms are adept at monitoring backend health, but they often fail to capture what’s happening at the edge - on the mobile device itself.

Is the EKS operational burden outweighing its benefits? Learn how to migrate from EKS to ECS, the technical trade-offs of AWS-native orchestration, and how to get ECS-level simplicity without losing Kubernetes power.

Is the "Heroku Tax" draining your budget? Compare Heroku vs. Kubernetes in 2026. Learn how to solve complex orchestration challenges, like queue-based autoscaling and microservice sprawl, without the DevOps toil.

Kubernetes v1.35 marks an important turning point for cluster networking. The IPVS backend for kube-proxy has been officially deprecated, and future Kubernetes releases will remove it entirely. If your clusters still rely on IPVS, the clock is now very much ticking. Staying on IPVS is not just a matter of running older technology. As upstream support winds down, IPVS receives less testing, fewer fixes, and less attention overall.

The IT landscape has evolved rapidly, transitioning from monolithic applications to complex, distributed system architectures comprising microservices that run on platforms like Kubernetes. With this added complexity, simply checking if a server is running is no longer sufficient. As IT professionals, we need insight into what’s really happening inside these systems. That’s where observability comes in.
