In the world of modern software development, speed is king. Teams are under constant pressure to release features, fix bugs and stay ahead of competitors. Yet, as development velocity increases, so does the risk of introducing vulnerabilities — an inconvenient truth that security teams have been sounding alarms about for years. This tension between speed and […]

Site reliability engineering (SRE) has become an emergent niche practice invented at Google to become a foundation of contemporary enterprise performance worldwide. With the continued growth of microservices, a multi-cloud infrastructure and continuous deployment pipelines adopted by organizations, the operational surface area has increased to the extent that human personnel cannot monitor and manage it in real time. The effectiveness […]
MIT researchers propose a new framework to make software clearer and safer by organizing code into “concepts” and “synchronizations” for better visibility.
It’s that time of the month again, and once again, I’m late and I’m hosting. I was traveling a lot in October and didn’t sort out hosting for this month. I have someone for Dec, and am looking for more in 2026. This will be a focus for me in December this.My apologies, and I’ll try to do better.Without further ago, …The InvitationNext week many of us are expecting to see SQL Server 2025 released to the public. The RC0 has been out for awhile and slowly we see people testing it. Even Brent has a server being monitored that’s…

Generic DevSecOps advice may sound good on paper, but it often fails in practice because it ignores team context, workflow, and environment-specific needs. Overloaded controls, broad policies, and misapplied tools disrupt the flow of development. And once flow breaks, security measures are the first to get bypassed. The way forward isn’t more rules but smarter ones. Prioritizing critical risks, leaning on opinionated defaults, and tailoring policies to fit the environment ensures that security sticks without slowing developers down. The payoff of this approach is consistency without chaos. Contextual, risk-based security reduces noise while increasing adoption, making it easier for teams…
This is from 2010, but I loved that people felt this way about Redgate Software. A lot of these words are things that we aim to express to each other and to customers.Ingeniously Simple was a tagline that our founders aimed for with our first products. I still remember this and challenge developers to work towards this. However, I love these words being things that stand out: calm, dependable, Gold-Standard, Excellent, Trustworthy, even Love.I have been proud to be a part of Redgate, and I want to ensure that customers not only get value from us for the money they…

Yes, you’re reading that right, we’re going to download a report that cannot be downloaded. Well, it cannot be downloaded from the user interface, that is. Suppose you have a report in a Power BI workspace (Pro, PPU, Fabric, it shouldn’t matter), and they’ve lost the original Power BI Desktop file. You try to download the report, but for some reason the GUI doesn’t let you:There are many reasons why a report can’t be downloaded (you don’t have permissions for example), but one reason is that the report has a live connection to a semantic model (or an SSAS model).…
Docker + E2B: Building the Future of Trusted AI Trusted Software Starts Here The era of agents is here. Some teams are experimenting, others are just getting started, and a few are already running agents in production. But one challenge stands out: trust. Trust that your agents will act securely. Over 20 million developers already rely on Docker to build and ship software safely…
