AWS Unfurls Open Source AI Agent to Enable Better AI Coding Outcomes
Amazon Web Services (AWS) today previewed a customizable lightweight, open-source harness, dubbed Simple Strands Agent (SSA), that looks to provide a more consistent approach to the interactions that occur between artificial intelligence (AI) coding tools. Anoop Deoras, director of applied science for agentic AI at AWS, said one of the issues that has arisen in […]
The Flow Illusion: Why Transformation Feels Like Theatre
You’ve invested in the tools. Your teams have dashboards that track cycle time, throughput, and work in progress. You’ve likely even built a sophisticated, probabilistic roadmap. Yet, despite the data, it feels like theatre. The moment the workshop ends, that roadmap becomes a static slide deck, and teams remain paralyzed, waiting for you to update […]
Kilo Adds Benchmark to Identify Most Efficient AI Models for Coding
Kilo today made available a benchmarking framework for its open source artificial intelligence (AI) agent that enables application development teams to generate code using multiple models. Company CEO Scott Breitenother said KiloBench measures the impact that frontier AI models are having on actual production workflows versus relying on a set of benchmarks, such as SWE-bench […]

The Hidden Cost of AI Code: Keeping Quality Up With Production
AI accelerated code delivery, but the bigger change is in who’s building software, how much is being built and what it takes to trust it.
AI Is Accelerating DevOps, Poor Integrations Are Slowing It Down
As AI speeds up software delivery, the real bottleneck isn’t scanning or CI. It’s how safely and predictably change moves across tools, teams, and companies. Something strange is happening in DevOps right now. AI copilots are writing code, generating tests, triaging incidents, and even summarizing pull requests before a human looks at them. The tooling […]
Secure Code Warrior Leverages AI to Extend DevSecOps Training Reach
Secure Code Warrior this week extended the capability of its artificial intelligence (AI) agent to make it possible to surface relevant training insights in real time as application developers are writing code. Announced at the Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit, the Adaptive Learning capability added to the company’s learning platform detects which AI tools […]
IronWorm Malware Shares Shai-Hulud Traits, Takes Threat to ‘Next Level’
Open source software developers continue to come under attack, with the latest threat being a custom malware that shares many of the attributes of the notorious Shai-Hulud self-propagating worm but comes with functions that make it more difficult for defenders to detect and to reverse engineer. Dubbed “IronWorm,” the infostealer is built in the Rust […]
Cloudflare Acquires VoidZero to Advance Open Source Vite Ecosystem
Cloudflare this week acquired VoidZero, the maintainer of open source tools such as Vite, Vitest, Rolldown, Oxc, and Vite+ that are used widely to build web application frameworks. Rita Kozlov, vice president of product management for Cloudflare, said this acquisition will ensure the financial stability of a set of open source tools that play a […]

The software development tools you choose shape your CI/CD pipeline reliability in ways that only surface months later. Learn what to evaluate before adoption.
Agentic DevSecOps: AI Security Co-Pilots for Your CI/CD Pipeline
The emergence of AI has brought endless possibilities and innovative opportunities in today’s ever-changing, fast-paced technology landscape. AI is helping development teams produce software significantly faster than ever before. AI-enabled DevSecOps tools can automatically scan code, infrastructure and other configurations for security issues throughout development, accelerating the overall process. The introduction of agentic AI into the software […]
Risk-Based Review for Infrastructure as Code Pull Requests
Not every infrastructure pull request deserves the same review path. A tag change in a development account and a network-policy change in production should not create identical reviewer load. When every change is treated as high risk, reviewers stop trusting the signal. In IaC review, I have seen reviewers spend too much attention on low-risk changes […]
The Death of the Four Golden Signals: Designing Telemetry for Non-Deterministic Infrastructure
In complex software systems, our traditional definition of operational health has always been comfortably binary. For over a decade, site reliability engineering (SRE) teams have relied on the industry-standard ‘Four Golden Signals’ — latency, traffic, errors and saturation — as the ultimate truth of platform stability. If our API-response times are hovering at sub-100 ms, […]
The Silent Risk of AI-Written DevOps Pipelines
These days, when a developer needs a CI/CD pipeline, they don’t always dive into GitHub Actions docs or spin up Jenkins from scratch. Instead, they pull up an AI assistant and type out something like: “Create a deployment pipeline for a containerized application.” Seconds later, the AI spits out a complete workflow. It looks polished. […]
Allstacks Extends Reach of Software Engineering Intelligence Platform to AI Agents
Allstacks this week added a shared workspace capability to its software engineering intelligence platform that makes it simpler for product and software engineering teams to create specifications for artificial intelligence (AI) agents that organizations plan to develop and deploy. Product Studio provides teams with a place to plan, draft, and refine product requirements using the […]
SmartBear Adds Computer Vision Capability to Testing Platform
SmartBear this week extended its ability to apply artificial intelligence to application testing with the addition of a computer vision capability that can be used to detect objects in applications. Prashant Mohan, vice president of product at SmartBear, said the company’s TestComplete platform now combines computer vision and optical character recognition to help automate the […]
Agentic Observability is Not a Chatbot Over Telemetry
Agentic observability isn’t about removing engineers from the loop. It is about making the loop faster, better informed, and easier to operate at the scale modern systems require.
Harness Acquires Codecov to Identify Untested Code
Harness this week acquired Codecov, a provider of a platform that analyzes the percentage of a codebase that has been tested, from Sentry. Brad Rydzewski, a senior vice president and general manager for Harness, said Codecov makes it simpler for DevOps teams to track testing coverage at a time when the volume of code being […]
Why DIY Test Automation Succeeds Its Way Into a Problem
Ask any engineering team if they can build their own test automation framework, and the answer is almost always “yes.” With modern AI tools involved, that answer arrives faster and with more confidence than ever before. In 30 days, a capable team can spin up scripts, automate flows, generate test cases, and show a demo […]
Latest OpenTofu Release Simplifies Configuration Updates
The latest update to the OpenTofu infrastructure-as-code (IaC) tool is making it simpler to update and refactor configurations without having to rework the entire codebase. Version 1.12.0 of OpenTofu has added a destroy = false lifecycle option that enables DevOps engineers to drop an object from state without issuing a destroy application programming interface (API) […]
