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:

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.

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
