FastAPI Shipped Three Breaking Changes in 21 Hours: What to Check

FastAPI released 0.146.0, 0.147.0, and 0.148.0 between Sunday afternoon and Monday morning (UTC), and each one is labeled a breaking change. None of them will crash your app on startup. They change what values your endpoints receive, which is the kind of change that passes CI and then shows up as odd data a week later. At Scout Monitoring, we monitor a lot of FastAPI apps, and a loosely pinned fastapi dependency is the most common way these releases will arrive.

How to View, Filter and Manage Docker Logs Without Losing Them or Filling the Disk

Why does a container fail, restart and leave behind almost nothing useful when you go looking for the cause? Docker logs are the first place most engineers check during an incident, and they work well right up until the output goes missing. Sometimes it is buried under thousands of lines, and sometimes it is deleted along with the container. The docker logs command itself is simple.
