From Reactive Monitoring to AI-Driven Operational Intelligence

Traditional monitoring often meant chasing alerts and toggling between dashboards after an issue had already impacted users. AWS CloudWatch — long the backbone of metrics, logs and traces on AWS — is evolving past that reactive paradigm. The latest CloudWatch capabilities infuse AI-driven operational intelligence into observability, helping engineers surface issues before they escalate and […]

When the Message Broker Becomes the Bottleneck: Scaling Push and SMS With MongoDB Polling

A back-end team extracted notification delivery from a large Ruby monolith into a centralized Go service, only to discover that their shared RabbitMQ cluster could not reliably support the new workload. Here’s how they solved the problem using MongoDB as a polling queue and the trade-offs that came with it. The Scaling Problem Inside the […]

Signed, Attested, and Malicious: The Software Supply Chain Has a Deepfake Problem

A developer pulls a package from a reliable repo. It is signed, has provenance, and has been scanned. And then…it contains malware. That is no longer hypothetical. When the Miasma worm tore through the @redhat-cloud-services npm namespace in June, its malicious releases carried real SLSA provenance, because they were built in Red Hat’s own GitHub […]

Enterprise Smart Contracts Have a Cryptography Problem. EY Just Built a Way Around It

The business case for smart contracts is building fast. Major financial institutions are using programmable, code-based agreements to underpin financial workflows, supply chain operations, and tokenization initiatives. Developers are being asked to prove the value. But there’s a problem most organizations don’t fully see until they’re already stuck: Privacy. Public blockchains are transparent by design. […]

Shadow Mode Continuous Integration: The Missing Test Layer for AI Agents

Autonomous agents require CI/CD pipelines that evaluate behavior, not just artifacts. Containerized shadow mode gives platform teams a practical control point: Run the agent in an isolated Docker environment, replay realistic workflows, capture structured traces and evaluate behavior against statistical and policy baselines.

From Alerts to Intelligence: Building a Production Self-Healing System for Port-Down Failures

Big, distributed computing systems seldom have visible failures. Most of them start without any bang, frequently with a health-check disconnection, a failed TCP connection or a service port that is no longer listening. Such signals are not too big when considered in isolation. However, in the scenario where systems are running with several hundreds of […]

Self-Healing Infrastructure With Cognitive Automation: How LLMs and Ansible Transform Middleware Reliability

Infrastructure reliability has always been central to enterprise success, yet traditional automation methods often fall short in handling complex, dynamic environments. With the rise of large language models (LLMs), a new paradigm of cognitive automation is emerging — where intelligent agents help infrastructure not only detect failures but also recommend or implement remediations in real-time.
