Oracle cuts up to 30,000 jobs globally, putting enterprise support and roadmaps at risk
Oracle began laying off employees on Tuesday in what could be the largest workforce reduction in the company’s history. Workers in the United States, India, Canada, Mexico, and Uruguay received termination emails from “Oracle Leadership” at approximately 6 a.m. local time, with no advance notice from HR or their direct managers. Access to corporate systems such as Slack, Zoom, VPN, and badge access was cut off almost simultaneously. Oracle’s communication to affected employees cited organizational changes and the need to streamline operations. For CIOs running Oracle ERP, OCI, or NetSuite workloads, Sanchit Vir Gogia, chief analyst at Greyhound Research, said the most immediate concern is “unevenness that creeps in quietly, slower escalation handling, thinner backline expertise, more hando

Webhook Best Practices: Retry Logic, Idempotency, and Error Handling
<h1> Webhook Best Practices: Retry Logic, Idempotency, and Error Handling </h1> <p>Most webhook integrations fail silently. A handler returns 500, the provider retries a few times, then stops.
