API Uptime Monitoring Explained: How to Measure True API Availability in Production

For many teams, API uptime monitoring still means one simple thing: checking whether an endpoint responds with a 200 OK. If the check passes, the API is marked as “up.” If it fails, an alert is triggered. On paper, that sounds reasonable. In practice, it’s one of the most common reasons API outages go unnoticed until users complain. The problem is that modern APIs are no longer simple, stateless endpoints.

Uptime.com Real User Monitoring Report

Take an in-depth tour of the Uptime.com RUM report. Comprehensively understand your users – and your baselines. Organize RUM data by URL(s) or group URL(s) to track subdomains; segment data by devices, operating systems, browsers, countries, other geographies – to compare metrics within specific time windows to your website or application’s performance monitoring baselines.

Governance Doesn't Stop at Deploy

Most governance models focus on what happens before production. Approvals. Tickets. Change records. But software delivery doesn’t end at deploy. Runtime is where change management is validated. It’s where systems prove whether controls actually work and where risk becomes real. If governance stops at deployment, you’re not managing change. You’re managing intent. In this video, Mike Long (CEO & Co-founder, Kosli) explains why runtime is the true source of control, why approvals alone don’t reduce risk, and how modern teams build governance that reflects reality, not paperwork.

AI Can't Prove Compliance by Itself

AI is moving fast, and it’s tempting to believe it can automate software governance end to end. But compliance and security aren’t probabilistic problems. They don’t accept “close enough.” They don’t accept summaries. They can’t tolerate hallucinations. Governance depends on facts. Irrefutable, provable evidence of how systems actually changed.

Stop wasting time on Postgres migrations. #speedscale #postgresql #postgres #database #programming

If you're spinning up a whole container just for one test, you’re doing it wrong. Old way: Full DB container + pg_restore New way: speedscale + proxymock It records actual DB traffic and mocks it "on the wire." Test smarter, not harder.

From Trough to Traction: 10 Real-World Lessons in Cloud and AI Efficiency

When CloudZero CTO Erik Peterson joined the SourceForge podcast in January 2026, he didn’t just talk about cloud costs. He reframed them as a launchpad for innovation, survival, and competitive advantage. Whether he was describing the “trough of lost innovation,” the “freemium tax,” or why efficiency is the next frontier of engineering culture, Erik’s expert insights go beyond FinOps hygiene.

AI Is Bigger Than LLMs: Why Network Teams Need to Think Beyond Chatbots and Agents

AI in network operations is more than chatbots and agents. LLMs make AI easier to use, but the real value comes from the underlying system of telemetry, data pipelines, analytics, ML models, domain knowledge, and workflows that help engineers reason, predict, and act. When designed thoughtfully, AI doesn’t replace engineers. Instead, it augments their expertise and reduces cognitive load across complex network operations.
