Right-size your analytics stack with Aiven for ClickHouse

Sep 30, 2026 By Tony Piazza | In Aiven
TL;DR If most of your Snowflake or Databricks spend goes to dashboards and reports, you are paying for a platform built for much bigger problems. Aiven for ClickHouse runs those workloads on a fixed plan, so adding dashboard users does not add to your compute bill. Native integrations with PostgreSQL and Apache Kafka also replace most of the ingestion and orchestration tools around your current platform. Move one dashboard at a time, and keep Snowflake or Databricks for work such as model training.

Bring Your Own Key: Encryption sovereignty without the headache

Sep 30, 2026 By Dirk Krautschick | In Aiven
Let's start with an uncomfortable question that tends to surface exactly once, usually in front of an auditor, a customer's security team, or your own CISO: who can actually decrypt your data right now? For most managed databases and message queues, the honest answer is "the provider, technically, if they really wanted to." That's not a scandal. It's just how managed encryption-at-rest normally works: the provider generates the key, holds the key, rotates the key, and you trust them not to misuse it.

How Etsy gets its mobile apps ready for peak traffic

Sep 30, 2026 By Sergiy Dybskiy In Sentry
Most advice about surviving a traffic spike is about capacity. Scale the fleet, warm the caches, load test the checkout path. All of it assumes you can fix whatever breaks the moment you find it. Mobile apps don’t work that way. I spent an hour on a workshop with Jay Henry, a senior engineering manager at Etsy who owns engineering strategy across three teams covering CI, build, test, release, observe, and SRE. Jay’s take: a web team having a bad day can revert in minutes.

Show off your uptime with SLA badges.

Sep 30, 2026 By Tomas Koprusak In Uptime Robot
Your uptime is probably better than your customers think. But the proof sits in your UptimeRobot dashboard, where only your team can see it. Starting today, you can put it on your website. SLA badges let you set an uptime target for your monitors, then embed a live badge that shows the uptime you actually delivered, colored against that target. Add it to your site footer, your docs or your GitHub README, and get the result by email at the end of each period.

How to Use Jira Planner to Plan Software Projects

Sep 30, 2026 By Atlassian In Atlassian

In this video, you'll see how Jira Planner brings due diligence to the pre-build phase, so engineers and AI coding agents start from a plan that reflects the real code instead of a vague prompt. It's useful for product managers, engineering leads, and developers who want to cut the rework that comes from AI guessing at requirements.
