The Hidden Cost of Code: How to Build Energy-Efficient CI/CD Pipelines
You will not find a smokestack on any CI/CD pipeline, nor a carbon meter in the corner of your screen to pass quiet judgment on the build. Yet the energy use is no less real.

Observability Without Servers: Debugging the Invisible in Serverless and Edge Environments
When one of your developers would jump out of his well worn chair, hand grabbing his hair and screaming “The server is down!!” - it meant exactly one thing: a very real, very physical machine was catching on fire in a rack somewhere, waiting for an engineer to put out the flames and bring it back to life. You could kick it, reboot it, or bribe it with a fresh config file. But in the serverless era, that comforting ritual has vanished. Now it’s less “find the broken server” and more “solve the my…

A Practical Guide to Zero Trust Security: When Firewalls Aren't Enough
So what did Network Security and large office buildings have in common? Well, there was a big front door, a security man and his badge scanner. Once you made it in pass security, you were free to go where you pleased. The break room, the server closet – no one put a hand on your shoulder to ask what you were doing. For thirty years or so, that was also the way of most corporate network security setups. It was fine, until it wasn’t.

There has been a refrain in the business world for years: gather more data, put it in storage, run the analysis, and then do it all over again with even more. In some quarters it was like a sport. Every sensor update, support ticket, machine reading and customer click was funneled into an ever-expanding database. And to be fair, the approach had its merits. For a time, bigger datasets were the surest way to build better AI.

Dev Tools for Bias Auditing and Detecting Unfair AI
There is no denying that AI is adept at making swift decisions. It can wade through thousands of applications, put a flag on a suspicious transaction, put forward product recommendations and even anticipate a customer’s next move.

A system can be steered off course by bad training data, historical precedents, missing information or featur…
