What Changed in the Binary, and Why You Should Notice
Let’s start hereYou ship two versions of your software. The code barely changed. But one runs smooth, the other stutters. Why? The answer’s buried in the binary. Binary analysis doesn’t care what your code looked like. It watches what your software does once it’s built. That’s where the real story starts. What Binary Analysis Really […]
Beyond Source Code: How LOCI Analyzes Compiled Binaries for Performance Insights
Introduction Imagine having an MRI radiologist explain your scan results clearly—or possessing X-ray vision for your software, seeing beyond mere lines of source code. Traditionally, software performance analysis focuses exclusively on source code. However, compiled binaries hold essential insights, revealing hidden issues only visible post-compilation. LOCI, a pioneering technology developed by Aurora Labs, exemplifies how […]
Implementing Shift Observability Left in CI/CD Pipelines
Picture thisYou release an update. Nothing crashes. No one scrambles. No one gets paged. That calm isn’t luck. It’s design. It comes from watching your software before it goes live, not after. That’s what shifting observability left means in CI/CD. Move feedback from the end of the pipeline to the beginning, and the whole process […]
Shift Observability Left: Spot Trouble Before It Spreads
What Shift Observability Left MeansThink of a leaky pipe. You can either catch it early with a pressure gauge or mop the floor once the water seeps through the ceiling. Shift Observability Left means setting that gauge before you ever turn on the water. It’s about moving monitoring out of the late stages and into […]
Ghosts in the machine: why does software misbehave?
“There have always been ghosts in the machine. Random segments of code, that have grouped together to form unexpected protocols. Unanticipated, these free radicals engender questions of free will, creativity, and even the nature of what we might call the soul.” In the movie I Robot, based on the book of the same name by Isaac […]
What will AI want to be when it grows up?
As the world advances in the age of artificial intelligence – particularly generative AI – it might feel as if there are androids among us. Artificial intelligence that can generate words and pictures, understand and respond to conversations, and perform tasks is a crowning achievement. At least it feels that way now, only time will […]
