Hey folks. For those of you already using Xata for copy-on-write, how are you handling the application side of your preview environments?
We just put together a tutorial on pairing Signadot sandboxes with Xata to get full-stack isolation for every branch. It handles massive concurrency without having to duplicate your whole infra or wait for shared staging slots.
See the full workflow: https://www.signadot.com/docs/integrations/databases/xata

Cron jobs are simple until they fail silently in production.

I put together a practical guide covering the most common causes (PATH issues, environment variables, logging, overlapping jobs, and Docker pitfalls) and how to fix each one properly.

Hi folks - I wanted to share a project I've been working on called Stategraph.

It replaces Terraform and OpenTofu's flat state file with a database-backed dependency graph, so independent changes can plan in parallel. In practice that means plans in seconds instead of minutes.

Live demo on Feb 25 if you’re curious:

Most Heroku alternatives get compared by features, but in practice the billing model is what really shapes your experience.
I put together a decision framework based on real production usage and actual costs from Jan 2026, focusing on when Railway, Render, Fly.io, or fixed tiers actually make sense.

I just shipped a new MCP server to align with a SEP we opened called Hotcross. It persists static code graphs + other agent context into a local chDB database, so agents can query durable project knowledge with SQL.

Highlights:

- 💾 Persistent storage in portable .db files
- 🔍️ SQL queries over stored context
- 🧠 Tree-sitter code intelligence (symbols, deps, references)
- 📝 Session memory (LLM chat history)
- ✅️ Todo/project tracking

Repo + quickstart: https://github.com/atelierlogos/hotcross

Would love your thoughts if this is in your wheelhouse.

Hi everyone, I’ve recently started writing blogs on infrastructure-related topics. So far, I’ve written three blogs:

Running GPUs in Kubernetes: From Setup to Scheduling and Sharing
https://medium.com/@pabhi18/running-gpus-in-kubernetes-from-setup-to-scheduling-and-sharing-b6b7ebd10d4e

Inference Engine: A Simple Explanation

Running LLM Inference on GPUs with Kubernetes
https://medium.com/@pabhi18/running-llm-inference-on-gpus-with-kubernetes-41ce0d0c5594

The third blog is based on a project I recently built and I’d love to hear your opinions and feedback on my blogs.

Hello all! We are experimenting on a product from our daily struggles and try to gather some feedback / understanding on what is everyone going through. It would mean a lot if any of you can hep us with this 10-15 mins questionnaire 🙏

Interesting read on the shift from manual code review to behavioral verification.
The argument is that checking syntax doesn't scale with AI agents, and is becoming irrelevant anyway, so the deploy preview becomes the primary gate.
Curious how others are thinking about this transition? Are you seeing a move away from line-by-line review yet?

Hey folks, Blast is hosting a live webinar with Rapyd’s CISO on why preemptive cloud defense is becoming the standard in 2026.
With non-human identities and IAM operating at machine speed, detection and response alone can’t close the risk window fast enough. Prevention is often the fastest mitigation.

Hey folks — I’m Satish from PrArySoft, building IncidentIQ, a Slack-native incident capture + summary tool.
It does /incident start + /incident end, then posts a clean summary, key events, action items, and a markdown export.
I’m recruiting 3–5 early beta teams (Slack-first incident response) and looking for honest feedback.
If anyone wants to test it during real incidents, DM me and I’ll share the install link + 1-page quick start.

Hey hey!

I’m pleased to share an app I’ve been working on!

Hey everyone, I’m working on a tool to help freelancers and small agencies respond to RFPs quickly instead of manual copy pasting and coordinating with different SMEs for review.

The specific problem I’m trying to solve is, first, helping teams quickly decide if the RFP is worth pursuing before actually working on it. Second, to reduce users’ time on manually finding questions and copy-pasting answers from previous RFPs and then getting those reviewed by SMEs in multiple email threads.

It’s still pretty early and I’m still figuring out what’s the best way possible to reduce time and effort.

If anyone has dealt with RFPs before, I’d really appreciate any inputs like what part of the RFP response process is most painful and consumes most time.
Thank you

If anyone is struggling with test pollution in ephemeral environments, we wrote up a guide on how to handle the data layer.
It covers how to trigger ephemeral DB branches (using Neon) that match the lifecycle of your K8s sandboxes. The main win is using copy-on-write to get instant branches so you aren't waiting on database provisioning for every PR.
Here’s the tutorial if you’re interested: https://www.signadot.com/docs/integrations/databases/neon

Hi all, quick ask. I’m trying to find the right professional channels to share an upcoming technical webinar (no product pitch). It’s about practical multi-cloud security implementation using native controls (AWS/Azure/GCP) and how teams scale it across accounts, orgs, and environments.
If you know relevant Slack channels, LinkedIn groups, or newsletters where this fits, I’d appreciate pointers.

I’m looking for a California-based (LA, SD, or SF) technical co-founder to explore a DevSecOps / DevOps startup venture. I bring a GTM/Product Research focus and am seeking a partner with a complementary technical skillset to build and scale. If you’re local and interested in shifting security left, please DM me to discuss the vision.

Hi everyone,
We just published a blog on why agentic coding tools are great for accelerating code output, but won’t be able to accelerate actual velocity without shifting testing left to where the code is being written.
Interested to hear what you guys are seeing in terms of increased code output and how you’re preparing to handle it.
https://www.signadot.com/blog/agentic-coding-tools-are-accelerating-output-not-velocity

Unpopular opinion: If you treat your LLM as the architect rather than a component, you end up with a system that works 80% of the time and hallucinates the other 20%. The real bottleneck isn't the model, but the lack of integration testing in our delivery pipelines.
Check out this article on it: https://thenewstack.io/your-ci-cd-pipeline-is-not-ready-to-ship-ai-agents/
Curious to hear if others are hitting this wall.

Open mic for honest founder failures, shared anonymously.
What to expect:
• Anonymous failure stories from builders
• What they learned from it
• And how they recovered
+ Moderated, judgment-free discussion

It's an open mic session: speak if you want, listen if you prefer.

No success theatre. Just the truth that actually helps indie hackers grow.

Hey everyone, we put together a technical guide on testing RabbitMQ consumers in shared K8s clusters.
It tackles the competing consumer problem by using request-level isolation (routing keys + OTel) instead of spinning up separate brokers for every branch.
Hope it is useful if you are dealing with flaky async tests: https://www.signadot.com/blog/testing-microservices-with-rabbitmq-using-signadot-sandboxes

Lately started working on migrating bunch of "legacy" TF glue code into Atmos while refactoring a lot of underlying resources for the whole organization - 5yrs debt so to speak.

The idea is to import existing TF/cloud resources into stacks managed by Atmos while refactoring a lot under the hood.

Today I have made a Mission Control dashboard to track the progress so everyone can see whats the current status of the whole project, whats the migration status for a particular TF source file,
where is the source code (legacy) TF file, how TF resources from those files map into atmos components along with links to those components and stacks that use/define them - the outcome is that large files are being split into more modular and reusable atmos components, so I'ts nice to see whats moved to where.

I hope it will help with Atmos adoption within the org.
So far it's a simple SPA app.

hey all.. just launching my new side project pipedash today - a desktop app for managing multiple ci/cd pipelines.

ideally we'd just use one ci/cd platform for everything and this wouldn't need to exist. but most of us deal with multiple platforms and i kept forgetting which pipeline was where. got tired of it, so i built this.

currently, it only supports Buildkite, Jenkins, and GitHub Actions, but I plan to add more providers soon.

it's new and still rough around the edges, so bugs will happen... if you run into any, just open an issue.

hope it helps 🙂
