Redgate Monitor has been able to monitor replication for a long term, but it required some work from customers. Now we’ve added native monitoring.This is part of a series of posts on Redgate Monitor. Click to see the other posts.New Native MonitoringThe monitoring capabilities in Redgate Monitor were originally fairly limited to a few counters from PerfMon. A few people had written custom metrics on sqlmonitormetrics.com that clients could use, but we’ve had customers asking for more native integrations.We’ve done it. With version 14.2, we have added an estate view of your replication environment. In the Estate menu, there is…

This article explains how to use the Spring gRPC project to enable built-in support for gRPC services in a Spring Boot application. The Spring gRPC project has just announced its 1.0 GA release. gRPC is a modern open-source Remote Procedure Call (RPC) framework that runs in any environment. By default, it uses Google’s Protocol Buffer for serializing and deserializing structured data. Previously, there was no native support for gRPC in Spring projects. Therefore, if you wanted to simplify the creation of such applications with Spring Boot, you had to use third-party starters such as net.devh:grpc-server-spring-boot-starter. This particular project has not…

Recent AWS and Cloudflare outages reveal how single subsystem failures can cascade globally. Learn key lessons on multi-cloud resilience, AI-powered monitoring, and disaster recovery.
I recently ran into a classic home lab problem. Everything worked perfectly before. New Windows installation done. Coffee ready. And suddenly my WD EX2 NAS decided to pretend it did not know me at all.The drive was visible on the network, but access failed. No credentials helped. Network discovery was on. SMB settings looked fine. Still nothing. At that point, the NAS and Windows were clearly having a disagreement about how security should work.After trying a few common fixes, I finally found the setting that made everything click.The Real ProblemOlder NAS devices like WD EX2 often use older SMB implementations.…
Black Duck today added a tool for analyzing and remediating code that is directly integrated into artificial intelligence (AI) coding tools. Company CEO Jason Schmitt said Black Duck Signal makes it possible to discover issues as application developers increasingly rely on AI coding tools to generate more code faster, which paradoxically also typically contains more […]
Most discussions about Model Context Protocol infrastructure ask how to govern thousands of AI tools and monitor which MCP servers are running. This question is table stakes but undershoots the possibilities. A better question is how we can unleash MCP to drive developer creativity from a trusted foundation. The first question produces a phone book of curated, controlled, static resources. The second points toward an AI playground where agents and developers interact and learn from each other. What if private catalogs of MCP servers become composable playlists that encourage mixing, reshaping, and myriad combinations of tool calls? This requires treating…
Explore the key software development trends for 2026, including AI-enabled development, low-code platforms, and talent density maximization shaping modern SDLCs.
ChatGPT is great at answering questions and generating code. But here’s what it can’t do: execute that code, query your actual database, create a GitHub repo with your project, or scrape live data from websites. It’s like having a brilliant advisor who can only talk, never act. Docker MCP Toolkit changes this completely. Here’s what that looks like in practice: You ask ChatGPT to check MacBook Air prices across Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. If competitor prices are lower than yours, it doesn’t just tell you, it acts: automatically adjusting your Stripe product price to stay competitive, logging the repricing…
