Forget the ticket queues and slow handoffs. Harness Workflows let developers spin up services, environments, and everyday ops tasks in minutes. It’s self-service that’s fast, safe, and actually fun to use. A developer once told me, half-joking and half-frustrated, “I spend more time waiting than coding.” It wasn’t the dramatic kind of waiting, like an hour-long debugging session or a blocked deployment at midnight.

It's starting to take shape. We have a dashboard, we're collecting some metrics, and I'm getting a daily briefing every morning. Also, I have an event log where all the events are going into (the spine of the system), and there's a knowledge base which consists of a GitHub repository which is vectorized and indexed. Its first use is adding context to Herald, the agent that sends me the morning briefing. More details to come.

Product Managers thrive on clarity. But when it comes to understanding application errors and trends, Rollbar’s rich occurrence data can sometimes feel overwhelming. With AI by Zapier + Google Sheets, you can turn this into a completely automated reporting pipeline—one that generates weekly reports of Rollbar occurrences, organizes them in Sheets, and arms PMs with insights they can use to guide roadmap decisions, reduce risk, and improve user experience.

Because I don’t want to have to fight with our support team (they’re awesome, but busy) I decided that, initially, I’m going to host dbRosetta at ScaryDBA.com. I have full control of the web site, and I won’t be breaking Redgate Software entirely if I accidently do something silly. Before starting the process of developing our next prompt, or set of prompts, I discussed the project with CoPilot. We agreed to break the next part into two pieces.

Managing SSL certificates is essential for maintaining trust, security, and uptime across any website or online service. While many people think SSL certificate management refers to renewing or issuing certificates, one of the most critical aspects,often overlooked,is monitoring certificates for expiry, validity, and unexpected changes. That’s the area where monitoring platforms provide their highest value.

The pace of change in data center operations shows no sign of slowing, and 2026 is shaping up to be another year of rapid evolution. AI-driven demand is accelerating, hybrid architectures are growing more complex, and capacity constraints are forcing teams to rethink how they plan and operate their environments. Against this backdrop, data center professionals are reassessing the tools, processes, and strategies they rely on every day.

As your application scales to serve hundreds, thousands, or even millions of users, understanding its performance becomes essential. Performance monitoring helps you make informed decisions based on data instead of guesswork or user complaints. Imagine users reporting that your app feels"slow". Without proper instrumentation and monitoring, you're left troubleshooting blindly.
