AWS, Wasabi, Cloudflare, and Backblaze go head-to-head in new cloud storage test

Cloud storage buyers rarely get vendor-provided performance data that includes the vendor’s own weak spots. Backblaze’s Q1 2026 Performance Stats report, attempts to do exactly that, sharing benchmark results for Backblaze B2, AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, and Wasabi Object Storage across US-East and EU-Central regions, and including results where Backblaze’s own rate limits affected the…

Intel puts its data center performance knowledge on GitHub

Intel engineers have published a centralized repository of data center performance knowledge on GitHub, giving practitioners direct access to tuning guides, configuration recommendations, and optimization recipes that previously required hunting across forums and scattered documentation. The repository, called Optimization Zone, is open-source and publicly accessible at GitHub. It covers software, workloads, performance analysis tools, and…

Why application security must start at the load balancer

For a long time, I thought of the load balancer as a performance device. Its job was to distribute traffic, improve uptime, and make applications feel fast. Security was something that happened elsewhere, on firewalls, inside WAFs or deep in the application code. That perspective changed early in my consulting career. I worked with a…

Coroot: Open-source observability and APM tool

Coroot is an open-source observability and application performance monitoring tool. The core software, published in Go and accompanied by companion repositories such as coroot-node-agent, focuses on collecting telemetry data across systems. It uses extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) technology to gather metrics and trace inter-service communications without manual instrumentation of application code. Coroot collects standard…

Claude Opus 4.6 builds on earlier releases with improved coding performance and more consistent behavior in complex tasks. Opus 4.6 finds real vulnerabilities in codebases better than any other model (Source: Anthropic) According to Anthropic, the model applies more deliberate planning during task execution, sustains agent-driven workflows over longer periods, and operates with greater consistency…

The blind spot every CISO must see: Loyalty

The longstanding assumption that tenure, performance metrics, or expressed commitment serve as reliable indicators of the trustworthiness of an employee persists across many sectors. Indeed, the great majority of personnel are loyal. But, while small, the percentage of those who aren’t is still well above zero. Moreover, this conflation of loyalty and security overlooks a…
