Scaleway quietly slipped a very developer-friendly note into its documentation changelog: Containers now have initial support for a Waypoint plugin. If you’ve ever wished your deployment workflow had fewer bespoke scripts, fewer “just run this one-off CLI command” README steps, and fewer opportunities to paste the wrong namespace ID at 2 a.m., this is the…
PayPal’s Historic BigQuery Migration: The Unsexy Data Move Powering Its Next GenAI Wave
Some technology stories begin with a shiny demo and end with a funding round. This one begins with the kind of sentence that makes executives reach for coffee and engineers reach for the exit: “We need to migrate hundreds of petabytes of production analytics data.” On February 26, 2026, PayPal published a detailed account of…
PayPal’s historic BigQuery migration: why moving 300+ petabytes is really an AI strategy (not just a database project)
When a company says it migrated “more than 300 petabytes” of analytics data with “zero downtime,” my default reaction is to check whether my coffee has been replaced with an energy drink. Then I read the details, and the story gets even more interesting: PayPal’s leadership is explicitly framing an enormous data-warehouse consolidation as the…
The Future Is Modular: What 10+ Years of Running Kubernetes Taught Platform Teams (and Why Bundles Are a Trap)
Platform engineering has a funny habit: it starts as a noble effort to “make developers faster,” and within a year it’s also responsible for compliance, cost controls, uptime, multi-cloud portability, and answering the eternal question: “Why is this cluster bill shaped like a hockey stick?” That’s why the latest argument from Giant Swarm — that…
The Future Is Modular: What a Decade of Running Kubernetes Teaches Us About Platform Engineering
Somewhere, right now, a platform team is doing what platform teams do best: opening a spreadsheet, listing “things developers need,” and then quietly realizing that the list contains everything from GPU scheduling and policy-as-code to “a button that makes Kafka happen.” That moment—equal parts ambition and mild dread—is exactly why modular platform thinking is having…
Scaleway Containers Gets Initial Support for a HashiCorp Waypoint Plugin: What It Means for Serverless Deployments
Scaleway quietly did something that will make a certain class of developers disproportionately happy: it added initial support for a HashiCorp Waypoint plugin in its Containers product changelog. That sounds like a small line item—and it is—but it also signals a bigger theme: cloud platforms keep trying to make “deploying an app” feel boringly consistent,…
The Future Is Modular: What a Decade of Running Kubernetes Teaches Us About Platform Engineering
Kubernetes is 10+ years old now, which in technology years means it’s old enough to have strong opinions about observability stacks, security baselines, and whether “platform” is a product or a philosophical argument you have at 2 a.m. during an incident. In February 2026, Giant Swarm published a short but pointed piece arguing that the…
Hetzner Warns of Phishing Emails Stealing Logins and Credit Card Data: What to Watch For and How to Lock Down Your Accounts
On July 5, 2024 (06:00 UTC), hosting provider Hetzner posted a warning on its public status page about a wave of phishing emails sent “in the name of Hetzner” with a clear goal: steal customer login credentials and even credit card data. The incident is still marked as “Identified” on the status page, which is…
Building a Sovereign n8n RAG Agent on OVHcloud Public Cloud: A Practical Reference Architecture (and Why It Matters in 2026)
Enterprises love the idea of AI agents that can answer questions about internal docs, tickets, policies, and product knowledge. Enterprises also love not being on the front page because their “helpful bot” leaked sensitive data into the wrong jurisdiction. These two loves don’t always get along. That’s why the OVHcloud blog post “Reference Architecture: build…
HPE Aruba VIA Client for Linux Hit by Local Privilege Escalation (HPESBNW04994 rev.2): What CVE-2025-37186 Means for Enterprises
HPE Aruba Networking’s Virtual Intranet Access (VIA) client for Linux is the kind of software most organizations forget about until it breaks—or until it shows up in a security bulletin with the phrase “arbitrary code execution with root privileges.” Unfortunately, that’s exactly what happened in January 2026. HPE published HPESBNW04994 rev.2, a security bulletin describing…
