Stop treating cybersecurity compliance like a checklist—it’s an architecture problem. The EU CRA is now official, and it targets the industry’s weakest link: the supply chain. If your product uses third-party components, you are now legally responsible for their security posture. 3 essentials to know: CE Marking: Mandatory conformity for software. Duty of Care: Legal liability for the entire lifecycle. Transparency: You can’t secure what you can’t see. Is the CRA a bottleneck or a structural opportunity for your team?

Is MySQL hitting a 30-year mid-life crisis or a second wind? My first post for @InfoWorld looks at the "stasis" in MySQL innovation. Perfect timing for the #FOSDEM crowd—are the announcements this week enough to close the gap with Postgres? infoworld.com/article/412089…
