The Role of Observability in Modern DevOps Pipelines

DevOps has radically transformed how organizations build and deploy software, enabling faster delivery with greater reliability. Within this transformation, observability has emerged as a critical foundation for success. Unlike traditional monitoring that simply tracks known metrics, observability provides deep visibility into complex systems, allowing teams to understand and troubleshoot issues they couldn't anticipate. This shift represents much more than a technical evolution - it's a fundamental change in how organizations approach system health and performance.

Introducing BunnyHunt: The $1M Global Competition to Build, Ship, and Deploy Software at the speed of your creativity

What Is Cloud Orchestration and Which Tools to Use

Cloud infrastructure management is a complicated task for organizations of all sizes. Infrastructure teams are increasingly asked to improve developer velocity, unlock access to different cloud platforms, and provide comprehensive visibility into cost and performance. Choosing the right cloud orchestration tool reduces the burden on infrastructure teams.

Preventing harmful LLM output with automated moderation

Large Language Models (LLMs) can produce impressive text responses, but they’re not immune to generating harmful or disallowed content. If you’re developing an LLM-powered application, you need a reliable way to detect and block risky outputs. Disallowed content – hate speech, explicit descriptions, harmful instructions – can damage your product’s reputation, endanger user safety, and potentially violate legal or platform guidelines.

The Hitchhiker's guide to Diskless Kafka

KIP-1150 isn’t a distant, strange planet; it just reroutes Kafka’s entire replication pathway from broker disks to cloud object storage. Flip one topic flag and your data bypasses local drives altogether: Because Diskless is built into Kafka (no client changes, no forks), we had to solve a 4D puzzle: How do you make a Diskless topic behave exactly like a Kafka one—inside the same cluster—without rewriting Kafka?

Transitioning to FIPS 140-3 on Azure with Ubuntu

Organizations that work with the US public sector or handle sensitive data currently have a FIPS 140-2 requirement. Currently, if an organization wants FIPS compliance while running on Azure, they are running Ubuntu Pro 20.04 or earlier. On September 21st, 2026, this will no longer be enough to achieve FIPS compliance because organizations will need to transition to FIPS 140-3.
