Can We Still Trust the Code? #speedscale #qualityassurance #digitaltwin #trust #devops

Jan 26, 2026 By Speedscale In Speedscale
The "Velocity Gap" is real. AI like Claude and GitHub Copilot are pumping out code faster than ever, but there’s a catch: Engineers don't trust it yet. We’re moving away from the old days of "clicking around" in a test environment, but how do we verify code at the speed of light? Ken breaks down why the future of QA isn't just "testing," it’s simulation. Video collab with @ScottMooreConsultingLLC Learn More: speedscale.com.

Stop wasting time on Postgres migrations. #speedscale #postgresql #postgres #database #programming

Jan 23, 2026 By Speedscale In Speedscale
If you're spinning up a whole container just for one test, you’re doing it wrong. Old way: Full DB container + pg_restore New way: speedscale + proxymock It records actual DB traffic and mocks it "on the wire." Test smarter, not harder.

ROI of Digital Twin Testing: Cut Testing Costs by 50%

Jan 20, 2026 By Ken Ahrens In Speedscale
When engineering leaders review their cloud bills, they often focus on production costs—the infrastructure serving real users, processing real transactions, generating real revenue. But there’s a shadow cost lurking in every cloud environment that often goes unnoticed until it becomes painful: non-production infrastructure.

Peeking Under the Hood with Claude Code

Jan 20, 2026 By Matthew LeRay In Speedscale
Claude is one of the go-to AI-native code editors for developers. Because it's a simple chatbot interface housed inside a familiar CLI, it provides a pretty smooth path between traditional IDEs and agentic AI. But what's actually happening behind the scenes when you ask it to write code, generate a test, or debug an issue? Who and what is it talking to behind the scenes? Can I prevent data leakage or do I need to add another layer to my tin foil hat? To answer these questions, I used proxymock to inspect the network traffic flowing from the Claude IDE.

Moving Our Observability Data Collector from Sidecars to eBPF

Jan 20, 2026 By Matthew LeRay In Speedscale
For years, the Kubernetes sidecar pattern has been a practical way to capture observability data. Running a collector alongside each application pod gave us deep visibility into traffic, including full request and response payloads across supported protocols. However, as cloud-native environments have grown more complex, the limitations of sidecars—such as resource overhead, operational complexity, and scaling challenges—have become more apparent.

How VPS Architecture Solves The Problem

Jan 20, 2026 By Keploy In Keploy
Virtual private servers approach this differently. They tackle contention head-on through dedicated resource allocation. Instead of letting resources slosh around freely between all sites like shared hosting does, VPS technology carves a physical server into isolated virtual machines. Each one operates independently. Each gets its own slice of CPU cores, RAM, and storage that nobody else can touch.

Mock vs Stub: Essential Differences

Jan 16, 2026 By Nate Lee In Speedscale
When discussing the process of testing an API, one of the most common sets of terms you might encounter are “mocks” and “stubs.” These terms are quite ubiquitous, but understanding exactly how they differ from one another - and when each is the correct method for software testing - is critical to building an appropriate test and validation framework. In this blog, we’re going to talk about the differences and similarities between mocks and stubs.
