▶️ In our "Getting to Grips with Confluent" video series, we have explored stream processing, Apache Kafka, and core Confluent mechanics. In our fourth video, Oscar Moores compares Confluent Platform and Confluent Cloud. While both services deliver similar core functionality, they differ in ease of use, management, and operational requirements. Confluent Cloud requires no physical infrastructure and comes with a managed schema registry and managed connectors, making it simpler for many organisations to deploy. 🔗 Find out more when you watch the full episode: https://lnkd.in/eH34nMRs Ozan Guzeldereli #Confluent #CloudSolutions #Kafka

A good conversation with KubeFM on why Kubernetes cost allocation has stayed fragmented and why that’s starting to change. In this interview, Kyle Campos talks about what happens when cost reporting and optimization stop living in separate tools, and why workload-level context is essential if teams want to move from visibility to action. Worth a watch if you’re wrestling with Kubernetes cost accountability or trying to align platform and FinOps teams.

HyperCore and HyperEVM are both available from a single Quicknode endpoint, so builders do not have to manage separate infrastructure or workflows. Sahil walks through what building on Hyperliquid looks like on Quicknode and how teams can get started quickly on our platform: https://lnkd.in/eVC4nvrw From one interface, you can select your endpoint and connection type: • RPC • WSS • gRPC Then choose HyperEVM or HyperCore and start building.

"Engineers are moving cost analysis into AI-native workspaces. CloudZero doesn't replace that workflow, we power it," said Scott Castle, Chief Product Officer at CloudZero. "This is what shifting cost intelligence left actually looks like. Engineers don't have time to open a new dashboard every time they want to understand the cost impact of an architecture decision. With the CloudZero Claude Code Plugin, any team facing a cost anomaly can, for example, instantly assess what changed, why, who's responsible, whether it was worth it, and — if necessary — how to fix it. All without leaving the environment they're working in." #FinOps #AICostManagement #CloudCostOptimization #AIEngineering #DeveloperTools #GenerativeAI #DevOps #CloudComputing #TechInnovation https://lnkd.in/dW7Tn2br

In his latest SiliconANGLE column, analyst Jason English from Intellyx reflects on the strength and evolution of the #Kubernetes ecosystem and highlights Flox among the companies helping push platform engineering forward. “Flox demonstrated its unique ‘uncontained’ environments based on Nix that can take in CI builds and run statefully inside Kubernetes on bare metal — with zero-byte container overhead for instant starts and fewer vulnerability handholds.”
