- Another tool in your stack? That’s another thing to patch, monitor and figure out when it breaks. 🔧 So before adding one, it’s worth asking: could PostgreSQL do the job? That was up for debate in the “PostgreSQL for everything” panel at pgDay Lowlands 2026 in Utrecht. Our database expert Bart Callens was there. 🐘 As a DBA and platform engineer, he looks beyond what a database can do. He also wants to know what it takes to keep it running reliably in production. His takeaway? Give PostgreSQL a proper look before reaching for
- This Monthly Meat took us to Spanish shores. 🍽️ Or at least to Los Manas in Antwerp. We enjoyed a good piece of meat and exactly zero infrastructure discussions.🥩 *That last part may not be entirely true.

- Everyone asks if their cloud is sovereign. Almost nobody asks it about their managed service supplier. 🤷♂️ Sovereignty is usually treated as a hosting question. Where the data sits, and who can reach it. But someone else has daily access to your pipelines and your infrastructure code. The supplier you hired to run them. If leaving them would take months of untangling, there is a hole no cloud provider can patch. Plenty of providers are comfortable with that hole. The harder it is to leave, the safer the contract. 🚩 We run on the
- Wij vierden SysAdmin Day twee weken geleden niet bij FlowFactor. 🤷♂️ Da's bewust, want dit is geen team van sysadmins. 👇 Een sysadmin houdt een systeem recht.

Zij kijken breder dan één systeem, want de problemen van een development team houden zich niet aan die grens. Een CTO waar ik vorige maand mee in gesprek was, zei: "Het aantal keren dat de infrastructuur de échte oorzaak is van wat een gebruiker voelt, is klein." Hij

- Our latest WTF moment? Realising how long ago our last episode with Guido Laout actually was. 😅 The podcast is going back onto next quarter's priority list. Until then, we pulled the WTF moments from our 5 latest guests. Swipe through them, and give the full episodes a listen over the summer break. 🎧 And you? If thinking about your platform brings a few WTF moments to mind, that's exactly what we're here to fix. We'll turn them into a distant memory. 👋 Whose WTF moment would you like to hear next? Drop it in the comments.
- It's always a good day when Robert Barnes joins a Terraform meetup. 🤩 Terraform is still one of our favorite tools in our toolbelt. So we keep doing our part to bring the community together on a regular basis. On August 18th, dataroots, a Talan company is hosting the summer edition of the HashiCorp User Group in Leuven. Two talks on the line-up: ✅ Robert Barnes on building dev environments you can actually reproduce, with Jumppad, Nomad and Vault. ✅ Marwen Hmidi on applying software engineering principles to your Terraform so it
