Why Most ML Projects Break After the Model is Built

A machine learning model may perform brilliantly on test data, but it can also turn problematic as soon as it is pushed to production. The issue is rarely the algorithm itself. While prototyping and during testing, a model usually runs in an ideal environment where the data is prepared, the infrastructure is known, the inputs are relatively predictable, and someone is usually closely watching the experiment.

Boosting Customer Experience With Seamless Payment Flows

The final step in any transaction, payment, is often the most overlooked part of the customer experience. Businesses pour resources into attracting customers and guiding them to a purchase, only to lose them at the last minute because of a clunky, confusing, or untrustworthy payment process. A smooth payment flow isn't just a technical detail; it's important for customer satisfaction and brand loyalty. When a customer decides to buy, giving you their money should be the easiest part of their entire interaction with your brand.

Free vs. paid website monitoring: When should you upgrade?

Every growing business hits a moment of truth somewhere between "we just launched" and "we just lost a customer because our site was down for 40 minutes." It's then that you realize the free monitoring tool you set up six months ago—the one that felt more than adequate at the time—is no longer pulling its weight.

Beyond the 10-year mark: Extending Ubuntu Pro 16.04 LTS security coverage

A decade ago, Canonical launched Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (codenamed “Xenial Xerus”). As a Long-Term Support (LTS) release, it comes with 5 years of standard security coverage, which is doubled to a total of 10 years through Expanded Security Maintenance (ESM) for users with an Ubuntu Pro subscription. As of April 30, 2026, the 10-year ESM coverage for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, under Ubuntu Pro, has officially reached its end of support.

Android development shouldn't start with a physical device

How on-demand Android environments lay the foundation for Android engineering Software engineering has evolved dramatically over the last decade. Development environments that once depended on dedicated hardware have become resources that can be provisioned, configured, and removed on demand. Infrastructure is now expected to be reproducible, automated, and integrated into continuous development workflows. However, Android has largely remained an exception.

What Is an Agentic Development Environment? Kepler Is GitKraken's Answer.

Every new AI coding agent comes with the same pitch: write code faster. For most devs, that part already checks out. Codex writes a function in seconds. Claude Code refactors a file mid-meeting. Copilot fills in a test before you finish describing it. None of that touches the problem that shows up an hour later: five agents running across three repositories, each with its own diff, and no single place to see what’s stuck, what’s done, and what’s actually safe to ship.
