Finding the Slow Query Killing Your Rails App

Performance problems in Rails applications are sneaky. Generally speaking, nobody opens tickets that say “my application is slower than it was last month (about 20%)”. What you do get instead are vague complaints from team members about a p95 latency that is climbing every week or a background job that used to take 2 seconds now taking 40 seconds to finish.

Satellite Telemetry, ITAR, and Data Residency: Building Architecture for Speed and Control

Satellite mission operators depend on telemetry to understand spacecraft health, ground system performance, and mission status in real-time. Operation signals help teams identify risks, investigate anomalies, and keep operations moving. When a spacecraft enters safe mode or signal strength drops during a contact window, teams need trusted telemetry immediately. But mission data moves quickly across operational systems, and every handoff makes it harder to control.

Shipped: What did the feature cost to ship? What does this customer cost to serve?

You can already split AI spend by team and by model. But that’s not what your CEO asks in the QBR. The question is what you got for it: what did it cost to ship that feature, to launch that campaign, to serve that customer. And is the AI bet behind it paying off? Now you can allocate AI spend to the outcomes you own: customer, product, feature, the strategic bet on the P&L. Not just the team that spent it.

Shadow AI Is Happening Within Your Organization

A majority of office professionals (72%) believe they understand how to use AI for their job better than the team responsible for managing AI at their company. While it’s encouraging to see employees embrace AI with such confidence, organizations will want to ensure they are providing the tools, guidance, and safeguards needed to help employees use AI safely.

How to Choose the Right Server Monitoring Tool: A Step By Step Guide for 2026

How do you pick one server monitoring tool when every vendor page promises the same thing? A few years ago, two monitoring vendor websites showed you two different products. Today you can open five and read nearly the same feature list on each one. Real-time dashboards, instant alerts, AI everywhere. That sameness has made evaluation harder than ever. The marketing tells you nothing, and the wrong choice follows your team for years, either as features nobody opens or as the one missed alert at 2 a.m.

How Skylar MCP Gives Agentic Workflows the Operational Context to Act With Confidence

AI models can reason over language, summarize findings, and explain patterns. What they cannot do on their own is see the real-time operational state of your environment. Ask a model about a critical incident and it will answer from whatever context it is given, which means the answer is only as trustworthy as the input. In operations and compliance workflows, an answer is only useful if it is grounded in current service context and governed access to the systems that define reality.

How to use Postman Visualizer: a step-by-step guide

API responses are often easier to understand when they are displayed visually instead of as raw JSON. While Postman is widely used for testing APIs, many developers overlook one of its most useful features which is the Postman Visualizer. While it is not as fully featured as a dedicated dashboarding platform like SquaredUp, it is a great way to quickly visualize API responses during development and debugging.

Top New Relic Alternatives in 2026

New Relic is a capable full-stack platform, but its bill is built on two axes that both grow as you scale: data ingested and per-user seats. Full-platform user fees run $49 to $349 per user per month, so a 20-person team can pay $6,980 or more in seats alone before a single gigabyte of telemetry, and the Compute Capacity Unit model adds query and alert charges that spike during the incidents when engineers run the most queries.
