India's DPDP Act: What it means for where you host your data

India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, passed in 2023 and enforced through subsequent rules, has reshaped the landscape for data hosting decisions for anyone processing personal data of Indian residents. The Act creates specific obligations that map directly onto infrastructure choices: where data can be stored, how consent has to be managed, what security measures are required, and what happens if things go wrong.

Incident Communication Lessons From Spotify Outages

Good incident communication is the difference between an outage your users forgive and an outage that quietly pushes them toward a competitor. That lesson landed hard in late July 2026, when Gergely Orosz of The Pragmatic Engineer publicly walked away from publishing video podcasts on Spotify after a run of reliability failures.

From Incident Data to Operational Knowledge: A Safer Role for Generative AI in IT Ops

IT operations teams produce an enormous amount of information. Alerts, logs, incident messages, deployment records, support tickets, runbooks and post-incident reviews all contain operational knowledge. The problem is that much of this knowledge remains fragmented and difficult to reuse. Generative artificial intelligence can help organise and transform this information, but its safest role is not unrestricted control over production infrastructure. Its strongest initial use cases involve reading, summarising, classifying and drafting information for an engineer to review.

Alert Fatigue Is Now a Reliability Risk in 2026

Two big reliability surveys landed in 2026, and together they deliver an uncomfortable verdict: alert fatigue has stopped being a morale complaint and turned into a measurable production risk. Engineers are drowning in signals, most of which mean nothing, and the noise is now directly causing outages.

What Is a ROADM?

A Reconfigurable Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer (ROADM) is a network element that selectively routes specific wavelengths of light across a fiber optic network without converting the signals into the electrical domain, forming the very foundation of modern optical transport networks. It allows operators to manage data traffic dynamically at the photonic layer. Fixed OADMs came first.
