Alison Sickelka, vice president of product for Cloudsmith, said these additions to the platform will make it simpler to prevent […]
Treat Business Workflow Changes Like Deployments
Business automation often reaches production without the release discipline applied to application code. A routing rule changes, an approval threshold moves, or an integration starts writing to a new system. The edit may happen in a visual builder instead of a repository, but its blast radius is still real: orders can duplicate, customers can receive […]

Survey Surfaces Rising Tide of Production Issues Traced Back to AI Code
A survey of 400 business and engineering executives finds 80% have traced a production incident, outage, or customer-impacting defect to code generated by artificial intelligence (AI) tools in the past 12 months. Conducted by Wakefield Research on behalf of Sauce Labs, a provider of an application testing platform, the survey finds 83% of respondents work […]
Tricentis Acquires Tabnine to Gain Knowledge Graph for AI Testing Agents
Tricentis today revealed it is acquiring Tabnine to gain access to a knowledge graph that will be used to provide context to AI agents that have been trained to automate a range of testing tasks. Once the acquisition is complete, Tricentis plans to integrate the knowledge graph developed by Tabnine, dubbed the Enterprise Context Engine, […]
DevOps Is Drowning in Updates—and Engineering Is Paying the Price
DevOps used to be a manageable rhythm: several core tools, a handful of respected blogs, and a few incident write-ups that made everyone slightly uncomfortable in a useful way. Now it feels like a firehose aimed directly at the on-call rotation. DevOps teams now have more information than they can reasonably track. Critical updates are […]
CodePen 2.0 Turns a Design Playground Into a Real Deployment Tool
CodePen 2.0 transforms the front-end playground into a file-based development platform with collaboration, version history and one-click deployment.
AI Moved the Bottleneck From Writing Code to Understanding and Trusting It
AI coding boosts velocity, but without stronger review, governance and codebase visibility, teams risk higher costs, security gaps and production failures. TL;DR
Block Details Builderbot Framework for Orchestrating AI Agents Across SDLC
The software engineers at Block have developed an orchestration layer they are using to manage artificial intelligence (AI) agents that have been trained to automate multiple tasks across their software development lifecycle (SDLC). Based on goose, an open source agent framework the company developed and contributed to the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF), the Builderbot orchestration […]
Most Outages Don’t Announce Themselves
Many outages never announce themselves as outages. They show up as rising latency or an error rate that creeps from 2% to 4% over an afternoon while everyone’s busy with something else.
Reliability Comes From the System, Not the Agent
One of the most common questions executives ask right now sounds straightforward: is the agent reliable enough yet? It feels like the right place to start, but the framing quietly points people in the wrong direction because it assumes something about reliability that has rarely been true in complex systems. When people ask whether an […]
Harness Adds Autonomous AI Agents to Automate DevOps Workflows
Harness today is providing DevOps teams with an ability to build and deploy autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) agents that automate the delivery of code to production environments. Trevor Stuart, a senior vice president and general manager at Harness, said the Autonomous Worker Agents eliminate the need for fixed scripts with custom AI agents or ones […]
AI Coding Costs Could Exceed Developer Salaries, Gartner Warns
Enterprises rapidly adopting AI coding assistants may eventually face an unexpected financial reality: the AI tools could cost more than the developers using them. According to new research from Gartner, spending on AI coding agents is on track to surpass the average software developer’s salary by 2028, driven by the rapid growth of LLM token […]
Survey: More AI Code Running in Production Environments with Caveats
A global survey of 309 software engineering leaders, published today, finds 81% of organizations have to some degree reworked development and release processes to accommodate code generated using artificial intelligence (AI) coding tools. However, only 45% said their organization is running any of that code in production environments. Conducted by Dimensional Research on behalf of […]
Survey Surfaces Rise in IT Incidents Attributable to AI Coding Tools
A survey of 406 IT decision makers at organizations with more than 250 employees in North America finds 93% have experienced at least one infrastructure incident caused by reliance on artificial intelligence (AI) tooling. Conducted by Panterra Group on behalf of Spacelift, a provider of a platform for automating the management of infrastructure-as-code (IaC), the […]
How AI Is Transforming DevOps and Cloud Engineering
While AI is often associated with chatbots or generative models, one of its most significant impacts is happening behind the scenes — within DevOps and cloud engineering.
Your Foundation Model is a Service. Operate it Like One
The FM life cycle is just the SDLC with more math and less mercy at 3 a.m. You have survived canary deployments that took out 40% of prod instead of 5%. You have been paged because someone merged a config change on a Friday. You know exactly what it feels like when your monitoring tells […]
Microsoft Brings the Azure SDK for Rust to General Availability
Microsoft has moved the Azure SDK for Rust out of beta and into general availability, giving Rust developers a stable, production-ready way to connect to core Azure services. The release covers Core, Identity, Key Vault (Secrets, Keys, and Certificates), and Storage (Blobs and Queues), built around the same design patterns already used in the .NET, Java, JavaScript, Python, Go, and C++ SDKs.
AWS Previews Release Management Capabilities Added to DevOps Agent
Amazon Web Services (AWS) today previewed a release management capability for the artificial intelligence (AI) agent it developed to automate DevOps workflows. Announced at the AWS New York Summit, the latest release of the AWS DevOps Agent makes available in preview an updated version of the AWS DevOps Agent that can now review and test […]
GitHub Actions Gets Serious About Self-Hosted Runner Versions
GitHub is resuming enforcement of minimum version requirements for GitHub Actions self-hosted runners — and this time, the deadlines are firm. After a rocky start that included multiple delays and a temporary pause earlier this year, GitHub has published a clear enforcement timeline for both GitHub Enterprise Cloud and GitHub Enterprise Cloud with Data Residency. […]
