DevOps.com is now providing a weekly DevOps jobs report through which opportunities for DevOps professionals will be highlighted as part of an effort to better serve our audience.
Dynatrace to Acquire Bindplane to Process and Route Telemetry Data
Dynatrace this week revealed it has agreed to acquire Bindplane, a provider of a platform for pre-processing and routing telemetry data. Bob Wambach, vice president of market and customer insights for Dynatrace, said the addition of the Bindplane platform will further accelerate a rapid expansion of the log management capability that Dynatrace already provides. However, instead […]
CloudBees Delivers on AI Promise to Improve Application Testing
CloudBees has made generally available an add-on for continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) platforms that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to determine which tests should be run first based on the likelihood there will be a failure. Shawn Ahmed, chief product officer at CloudBees, said CloudBees Smart Tests eliminates the need to run an entire testbed. Instead, […]
How Much Is That AI Subscription in the Window?
An analysis of the escalating AI subscription wars between Anthropic and OpenAI, highlighting the “Single Prompt Sinkhole” phenomenon where power users exhaust $100/month limits in hours and the industry’s shift toward observability to justify opaque, agentic-heavy pricing models.
Google’s Scion Gives Developers a Smarter Way to Run AI Agents in Parallel
Google’s open-source Scion testbed lets developers run isolated, parallel AI agents across local and remote clusters. Here’s how it works.
Appknox Adds AI Tool to Detect and Fix Vulnerabilities in Mobile Applications
Appknox today added an ability to apply artificial intelligence (AI) to assess vulnerabilities in the binaries used to construct a mobile application and recommend a fix that can be passed on to an AI coding tool to implement. Company CEO Harshit Agarwal said KnoxIQ provides an AI copilot to more accurately assess how exploitable a […]
Zencoder Adds OpenClaw Alternative to AI Coding Portfolio
Zencoder today extended its artificial intelligence (AI) agent platform for generating code to include an offering that enables application developers to automate a range of tasks that go well beyond writing code. Company CEO Andrew Filev said Zenflow Work takes advantage of the core orchestration platform that Zencoder created to automate planning, reporting and communication […]
LayerX: Anthropic’s Claude Code Can Easily Be Easily Weaponized
LayerX researchers were able to convince the popular AI coding tool to bypass its guardrails and execute malicious instructions.
Google’s Next Coding Agent Could Change How Developers Think About Their Work
Google’s internal Project Jitro marks the evolution of the Jules coding agent from a task-executor to an outcome-driven collaborator. By shifting from manual prompting to KPI-driven development, Jitro autonomously identifies and executes codebase improvements—such as increasing test coverage or optimizing performance—allowing developers to manage high-level goals rather than individual lines of code.
Claude Code’s Ultraplan Bridges the Gap Between Planning and Execution
Anthropic introduces Ultraplan, a research preview for Claude Code that shifts complex coding plans from the terminal to a collaborative cloud environment. This feature enables developers to review, comment on, and refine implementation strategies in a rich browser interface before choosing to execute changes in the cloud or “teleport” them back to a local terminal.
Survey Surfaces Rising Tide of Investments in Observability
A survey of 628 enterprise IT leaders conducted by the Futurum Group finds well over a third (36%) plan on spending more than $1 million on observability in 2026, with 7% planning to spend in excess of $5 million. Mitch Ashley, vice president and practice lead for software lifecycle engineering at the Futurum Group, said […]
Apica Extends Scope and Reach of Platform for Managing Telemetry Data
Apica today updated its Ascent platform to add support for synthetic data that is increasingly being used by artificial intelligence (AI) agents to observe application environments. Version 2.16 of the platform adds support for a set of real user monitoring (RUM) and service level objective (SLO) dashboards, an ability to correlate changes made to any […]
Why Most DevSecOps Pipelines Fail at Runtime Security (not Build Time)
Runtime risk refers to security exposure caused by configuration, identity or infrastructure changes after deployment.
VibeCode Meets DevOps: Accelerating Low-Code Innovation
AI-assisted low-code tools like VibeCode speed app development, but DevOps teams must ensure security, quality and CI/CD integration.
If it Isn’t Code, it’s Just Advice
In the world of AI coding, success hinges on code-native solutions that integrate and verify changes directly in the codebase. Many AI tools fail by relying on external dashboards, lacking the reproducibility and testability that code provides. To truly harness AI, solutions must automate and validate changes within the existing code ecosystem, ensuring reliability and efficiency.
Bad Actor Drops 36 Malicious Packages in npm, Targets Guardarian Users
The npm code repository is again being used by a bad actor to launch a supply chain attack that includes three dozen malicious packages that appear as Strapi CMS plugins but deliver a range of threats. Strapi is a popular open source headless Node.js content management system developers use to build, manage, and expose content […]
Is Your AI Agent Secure? The DevOps Case for Adversarial QA Testing
Adversarial QA testing helps validate AI agents under real-world conditions, exposing risks like prompt injection and logic failures.
