With the nearly unmatched reliability and scalability offered by the 12-factor application design pattern, microservice-based designs have become a fundamental architectural pattern for modern applications. A whole industry of cloud providers has sprung up to offer management of the sophisticated middleware and infrastructure services that make this possible. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is among the largest of them.

Learn how CI/CD tools are enhanced with IDPs—to speed deployments, and increase consistency in software development. Cortex|

We’ve all been there: working a feature that spans multiple Git repositories, doing your best to coordinate pull requests and save the reviewers from “review-hell” as they try to piece together how everything fits across the repositories… When a change impacts more than one microservice, the coordination can become a mess of disconnected PRs spanning many repos, each dependent on the other to avoid breaking something critical.

TLDR: We launched a community marketplace for Cortex Plugins! Share, discover, and implement plugins built to personalize and extend your experience. Learn how, why, and what to try first, below.

We’re excited to announce Lumigo Metrics, the latest addition to Lumigo’s industry-leading observability suite. Developers already rely on Lumigo for the most advanced distributed tracing on the market, coupled with powerful log management capabilities and the AI-driven insights of Lumigo Copilot Beta—empowering teams to troubleshoot faster and smarter. Now, we’re taking it a step further.

Migrating a Kubernetes cluster from a self-hosted environment to Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) offers considerable operational benefits—but this transition also brings challenges in reliability, compliance, and observability. By leveraging Cortex Scorecards, teams gain clear insights and structured benchmarks to simplify and improve the migration process. Here’s how Cortex Scorecards can make your EKS migration efficient and resilient.

Is your DevOps security ready for cyber threats? Embrace these best practices and make security your competitive advantage. DevOps, a set of practices that combines software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops), has revolutionized the way organizations build, deploy, and maintain software. With the rise of cloud computing, there was a need for faster and more reliable software delivery than traditional software development methodologies allowed. DevOps was the natural evolution.
