KubeCon Retrospective: Platform Engineering Needs to Do More Testing

Nov 25, 2025 By Alan Mon In Speedscale
Every year, KubeCon offers a candid look at where the cloud-native community stands — the tools gaining traction, the pain points teams share, and the big gaps still holding organizations back. After a week of deep conversations, session hopping, and talking to dozens of platform teams, one theme became impossible to ignore: Platform engineering still isn’t doing enough testing. And even more surprising: many teams don’t think testing is their responsibility.

Understanding Kafka with Speedscale #speedscale #kafka #visualization #engineering #production

Nov 24, 2025 By Speedscale In Speedscale
In this video, we're breaking down the complex world of Apache Kafka and showing you how to gain deep visibility into your event streaming architecture using Speedscale. Kafka is the backbone of modern, cloud-native systems, but understanding what's happening in production—which topics are receiving traffic, where messages are going, and how services are interacting can be a real challenge. We'll cover how Speedscale makes Kafka visualization and debugging simple by.

Better integration tests in Cursor using proxymock

Nov 19, 2025 By Ken Ahrens In Speedscale
Cursor is fantastic at cranking out code changes. I recently used it to splice a brand-new downstream API call into one of our Go microservices, and the diff looked great. The unit tests finished before I lifted my coffee mug, yet I still had zero certainty the change would survive contact with real traffic. That gap is all about integration tests, so I paired Cursor with proxymock and the outerspace-go demo service to prove the behavior end to end.

AI wrote the code, but can you trust it? #aicoding #integration #cursor #devops #speedscale

Nov 19, 2025 By Speedscale In Speedscale
Using AI coding tools like Cursor is fast, but it leaves a massive question: Is the new code going to break production? We solve this by combining Cursor with Proxymock! I take a live traffic snapshot of my running app, feed it back to the AI, and instantly run realistic integration tests locally. It's the only way to get true confidence before you push. Watch the full video below!

KubeCon + CloudNativeCon 2025: Recap

Nov 18, 2025 By Bailey Ahrens In Speedscale
Hi everyone, my name is Bailey Ahrens, and I’m a marketing intern at Speedscale! I just returned a few days ago from KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2025. While it was only my second trade show, it felt like a huge step forward in my confidence, skills, and future direction. My first conference (API World) was all about stepping outside my comfort zone. KubeCon was where I started leaning into that confidence and finding my place in the tech community.

Settle Your QA Debt Before the Bugs Start Breaking Kneecaps

Settle Your QA Debt Before the Bugs Start Breaking Kneecaps

Nov 12, 2025 By Alan Mon In Speedscale
In Part One, we discussed how QA debt builds silently over time - causing slower releases, late-night firefights, and unpredictable test cycles. The next step is understanding how much debt you have and where it hides. This post goes deeper into measuring QA debt - what to track, how to collect data, and how to use those insights to create a sustainable plan for improvement.
