Report: Full-Stack Observability Cuts Downtime Costs
The numbers are sobering, at best. A new global survey from New Relic pegs the median cost of a high-impact IT outage at $2 million per hour (that’s roughly $33,333 a minute) with a median annual hit of $76 million. That’s not just a bad week; it’s a major operational risk. And it’s landing just […]

Build vs. Buy: What it Really Takes to Harden Your Software Supply Chain
When it comes to securing the software supply chain, engineering teams often assume that the choice between building their own hardened images or buying a solution is straightforward…until they try to build the images themselves. As the programmer’s credo goes: “We do these things not because they are easy, but because we thought they’d be easy.” The decision […]
Shortcut Adds AI Agent to Orchestrate Management of Software Development Projects
Shortcut this week added an artificial intelligence (AI) agent that is capable of orchestrating the planning, tracking and coordination of software projects. Company CEO Kurt Schrader said the Korey agent takes ideas described in natural language and converts them into structured, build-ready plans in seconds, including generating detailed specifications with clear acceptance criteria. It then […]
Why Automation Fails Without the Right QA Mindset
In the DevOps world, with its faster release cycles and continuous delivery, quality assurance (QA) cannot be sidelined until the end of the process. Companies that actively use automation achieve up to 60% faster release cycles compared to those relying solely on manual testing. However, automation alone is insufficient. Without the right QA mindset, moving faster can […]
NLP Tools for Intelligent Documentation and Developer Enablement
Natural language processing (NLP) is reshaping technical documentation and developer enablement. Organizations that select the right tools and integrate them effectively into existing environments streamline documentation workflows, reduce manual effort, and make technical knowledge more accessible to developers at all levels. Unlocking the highest value from NLP tools requires organizations to adapt models to their […]
Worms in the Supply Chain: Shai-Hulud and the Next DevOps Reckoning
DevOps was supposed to make software delivery faster, safer and more reliable. For the most part, it has. But every so often, something nasty crawls out of the shadows and reminds us how fragile the system really is. It wasn’t a zero-day in Kubernetes or a cloud misconfiguration that caught my eye. It was a […]
How Model Context Protocol (MCP) is Fueling the Next Era of Developer Productivity
MCP standardizes how AI agents connect to tools and data, solving fragmentation in AI development with secure, reusable, and scalable integrations.
ControlMonkey Adds AI Agents to Infrastructure Automation Platform
ControlMonkey today added artificial intelligence (AI) agents to its infrastructure automation platform that promise to make it simpler for almost any developer to securely provision infrastructure as code (IaC). Company CEO Aharon Twizer said this KoMo AI extension to the ControlMonkey platform will eliminate a skills gap that often conspires to slow the pace at […]
Survey Surfaces Downstream DevOps Challenges Created by AI Code
A survey of 900 engineers, platform leaders and technical managers published today finds nearly two thirds (63%) report their organization is shipping code faster since adopting artificial intelligence (AI). Conducted by Coleman Parkes on behalf of Harness, a provider of a DevOps platform, the survey also suggests, however, that same code is creating more downstream […]
