Express Scripts by Evernorth Makes Data HIPAA-Compliant Overnight | Perforce Delphix

Express Scripts by Evernorth — a health services company serving 180 million members and processing 1.4 billion prescriptions annually — faced long lead times for HIPAA-compliant data. Its software engineering, data scientist, and machine learning teams needed fresh, readily available data, but the original system Express Script used took two weeks for its refresh masking cycle.

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

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

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

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.

Beyond End-to-End: Why Your Microservices Need Contract Testing

You push a small code update. Your unit tests are green, and the functional tests pass. You feel confident. The release pipeline triggers, and the new feature hits production. Ten minutes later, your monitoring dashboard lights up with errors. The frontend team updated a User ID field from an integer to a string, and your backend service just choked on it. In a monolithic design, the compiler or a rudimentary integration suite often identifies these issues.

How VPS Architecture Solves The Problem

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.
