In the first two parts of this series, we understood the importance of cost models and how to create and refine cost models. In the subsequent parts, we learned how to optimize our workload components across infrastructure, applications, and data. In this final part, we will present the impact and results related to applying the cost optimization and ShiftLeft FinOps techniques for a cloud-native application.

Continuous delivery demands continuous security. To make continuous delivery possible, observability and security need to go hand in hand. In today’s rapidly evolving business and technology landscape, organizations often prioritize the speed of development over security. The concern is that comprehensive application security in CI/CD environments is too hard to achieve and would slow down development and delivery.

A trivial performance optimisation to help speed up third-party or other-origin requests is to preconnect them: hint that the browser should preemptively open a full connection ( DNS , TCP , TLS ) to the origin in question, for example: In the right circumstances, this simple, single line of HTML can make pages hundreds of milliseconds faster ! But time and again, I see developers misconfiguring even this most basic of features.

Generative AI stretches our current copyright law in unforeseen and uncomfortable ways. In the US, the Copyright Office has issued guidance stating that the output of image-generating AI isn’t copyrightable, unless human creativity has gone into the prompts that generated the output. This ruling in itself raises many questions: how much creativity is needed, and is that the same kind of creativity that an artist exercises with a paintbrush?

Error logging is a critical aspect of database administration, providing insights into issues, warnings, and errors that may affect the system’s stability and performance. MySQL 8 introduces Error Log Filtering as a mechanism to fine-tune the error log, allowing administrators to focus on the most critical issues. By assigning priorities to different error types, administrators can control which errors are logged, creating a more concise and actionable error log.

We’ve all been there. An important fix is waiting to be delivered, and a manager asks you why it’s taking so long and says that the pipeline was much faster a few months ago.

Generators in Python are literators they produce data one element at a time. Generators are memory efficient. They don’t store the entire sequence upfront, making them ideal for large datasets. This emphasizes its ability to handle potentially infinite or very large sequences without memory limitations. They are created using a special kind of function known as the generator function, which contains one or more ‘yield’ statements.
