TLDR: Runtime Context is live, execution-level access to a running production system. It lets engineers and AI agents ask precise questions of running code and get answers immediately, without redeploying or interrupting users. This is the new baseline for reliability.

Earlier this year we launched Grafana Cloud Fleet Management to address the pain that comes with managing scores of telemetry collectors across departments and environments. We've been excited to see how organizations are using it to manage collectors at scale, but we've also heard from users who aren't sure how Fleet Management fits with their existing infrastructure-as-code tooling. The good news is Fleet Management is designed specifically to complement—not replace—tools like Terraform.

Cost-Intelligent Observability shifts your organization into a proactive and collaborative cloud cost management powerhouse.

The things that separate an MVP from a production-ready app are polish, final touches, and the Pareto ‘last 20%’ of work. Many of the bugs, edge cases, and performance issues will come to the surface after you launch, when the user stampede puts a serious strain on your application. If you’re reading this, you’re probably sitting on the 80% mark, ready to tackle the rest.

Redgate Flyway’s January update brings faster drift resolution, AI-powered deployment descriptions, and a look back at everything we shipped in 2025. Plus, we want to hear from you about how you’re managing database changes.

Service desk leaders are being asked to do more with less. Ticket volumes keep climbing. SLAs keep tightening. Headcount rarely follows. Dashboards fill up fast, and before long, every conversation seems to start with a metric that’s in the red. Automation is pitched as the answer. But when it’s introduced only as a way to move faster or cut costs, it can backfire.

We’re pleased to announce that InvGate has recently renewed the SOC 2 Type II certification for the 2024-2025 period. This achievement shows our commitment to the industry’s best data protection and compliance practices. The SOC 2 standard was developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). It consists of a third-party audit that evaluates how companies worldwide handle data privacy. Keep reading to learn how the renewal impacts you.

Container security has finally gone mainstream. When Docker announced hardened container images in late 2025, complete with minimal attack surfaces, non-root defaults, continuous CVE scanning, and automated updates, the response was enthusiastic. For teams managing their own infrastructure, this was a real step forward. Secure-by-default containers are no longer niche or expensive. They are expected.
