Cloud has made infrastructure wonderfully elastic, but it has also made costs dangerously invisible. Engineering teams celebrate rapid experimentation while finance teams dread the bill at the end of the month. FinOps emerged to bridge this gap, and when combined with DevOps practices, it turns cost from an afterthought into a first-class metric in
Observability, monitoring and incident response in cloud-native architectures
Cloud-native architectures have unlocked remarkable agility, but they have also made systems harder to see. A single user request can touch dozens of microservices, containerised workloads and managed cloud services, each with its own metrics and logs. Traditional monitoring, which focuses on individual servers or applications, struggles to answer
Platform engineering: the next wave of internal DevOps platforms and self-service tooling
As organisations scale their engineering teams, a familiar pattern emerges: every squad is solving the same problems in slightly different ways. CI pipelines are duplicated, environments drift, and on-call engineers juggle a zoo of tools. Platform engineering has emerged as a response, treating internal infrastructure and pipelines as a product wit
Building a “shift-left” security culture: DevSecOps best practices for modern teams
Security used to live at the end of the software lifecycle, like a gate that everyone rushed through just before release. In modern businesses, that model has collapsed under the weight of faster releases, complex architectures and relentless threat actors. Shift-left security reframes the problem by embedding security thinking into daily work, lon
How AI and Machine Learning (AIOps) are transforming DevOps workflows
DevOps has always been about shortening the path from idea to value, but the sheer scale and complexity of modern systems have outgrown purely human-driven workflows. This is where AI and machine learning, often wrapped under the term AIOps, are quietly reshaping how teams build, ship and operate software. Instead of dashboards that shout for human
