The Solana Foundation updated its delegation program criteria, introducing new ASN concentration limits, stricter data center concentration thresholds, mandatory transaction ordering fairness rules, and explicit anti-censorship requirements. Validators already in the…
Blockchain node monitoring in production is a different problem from monitoring conventional infrastructure. The metrics overlap CPU, memory, disk, network, but the failure modes are unique. A node can be fully online, passing all infrastructure health checks, and simultaneously serving…
Cosmos validator requirements are more complex in 2026 than most guides acknowledge. The official documentation gives you minimum hardware specs and tells you to have some ATOM bonded. What it does not tell you is that the minimum stake to…
Prometheus alertmanager setup is one of those infrastructure tasks that takes an hour to complete and months to get right. The installation is straightforward. The configuration that actually works in production routing trees that don’t flood on-call, inhibition rules that…
Kubernetes deployment best practices are well documented. The official documentation covers them. Every major cloud provider has a guide. There are dozens of Medium articles listing the same checklist. And yet 61% of teams experienced a production incident in the…
DevOps outstaffing services are not all the same, and the CTO who treats them as a commodity will find that out the hard, way usually three months into an engagement when the outstaffed engineer is barely keeping up, documentation is…
