Cloud-native engineering, multi-cloud strategy, and platform deep-dives.
Heroku isn’t shutting down, but its 2026 shift to sustaining engineering has more teams weighing alternatives. This guide compares 10 Heroku alternatives by deployment model, pricing, portability, and migration effort.
Most DevOps platform feature lists look the same until you ask how each capability actually works. This guide gives you six vendor-neutral criteria and a scorecard to test any platform’s real implementation depth.
Running workloads on a major cloud provider is not the same as having an enterprise cloud strategy. This guide covers the compliance, data placement, contractual, and organizational requirements that make an environment governable at scale.
CI/CD tools like GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, CircleCI, Jenkins, and Argo CD each approach build, test, and delivery differently. This guide compares all five across setup complexity, cost at scale, Kubernetes-native support, and multi-cloud reach to help you pick the right fit.
Control Plane is now a technology partner of Akamai Cloud. You can add regions from Akamai Cloud to your Global Virtual Cloud in Control Plane. And by leveraging Control Plane’s Universal Cloud Identity, workloads running on Akamai Cloud regions can still consume any service of AWS, GCP, or Azure with no credentials embedded in the
Kubernetes resource optimization is crucial for cost and efficiency. Learn how to identify and address resource waste with strategies like spot instances, application profiling, and right-sizing deployments. Discover how Control Plane can further optimize your Kubernetes environment and significantly reduce cloud costs.
During the October 20th AWS outage, not one Control Plane customer went down. Here’s the architecture that made that possible, and how to assess your own.
Most disaster recovery plans quietly assume the cloud provider itself stays up. This guide covers tier-appropriate RTO/RPO targets, failover patterns from pilot light to active-active, and how a multi-cloud topology survives a provider-level outage.
Multi-cloud is about more than uptime. A composable multi-cloud strategy helps engineering teams avoid operational lock-in, meet data residency requirements, and retain leverage as cloud spend grows.
The shape of your cloud infra is changing a few years ago, nobody was asking where their inference layer should run. Now it’s on the roadmap, or already in production and costing more than anyone budgeted. Or perhaps you’ve built an agent infrastructure that spins up on a request and vanishes by midnight. Or you
