The Validation Gap Is Costing You More Than You Think
Our latest State of Software Delivery report analyzed more than 28 million CI workflows and found a pattern that should give engineering leaders pause. Average throughput grew 59% year over year. Main branch activity for the median team declined 7%. Teams are generating more code than ever before. Less of it is reaching production. The […]
AI Is Changing How We Write Infrastructure, But It’s Not Solving How We Control It
Over the past year, AI has fundamentally changed how software is written. Infrastructure code is no exception. Tasks that once required deep familiarity with tools, syntax, and workflows can now be handled through natural language. Engineers are no longer starting from a blank file. In many cases, reviewing and modifying code generated for them has […]
Why Logs, Metrics and Traces Still Don’t Give You Real Observability
If your team can answer the question “Did the system do the right thing?” and not just “Did the system stay up?”, you’re getting close to real observability.
Why Your AI Agent is a Black Box and How to fix it With OpenTelemetry
You built the agent. It works in testing. Then it hits production and starts giving wrong answers, timing out or burning through your token budget, and you have no idea why. This is when developers discover that print statements and log files weren’t designed for this. LLM applications fail in ways that traditional tooling can’t see. A hallucination doesn’t throw […]
Agentic SRE: The Next Frontier of Reliability
Agentic SRE is the evolution of site reliability engineering where AI agents help observe systems, reason over telemetry and take bounded operational actions under human-defined guardrails.
Harness Adds Pair of Tools to Track ROI in AI Coding
Harness today added two tools to track and analyze the impact code generated by artificial intelligence (AI) coding tools is having on application development. An AI Development Lifecycle (DLC) tool installs agent software on a developer’s machine to track adoption, sessions, and the code created across every coding agent, while a Cloud & AI Cost […]
More Signal, Less Clarity: The Observability Paradox No One Wants to Talk About
Record observability spending is driving up MTTR. Discover why tool sprawl and excessive dashboard data cause cognitive overload for on-call engineers, and how to fix it.
Why Agent Skills Are the Next Evolution of Software Development
The emergence of agent skills — modular, reusable blocks of natural language instructions and metadata — is transforming the developer’s role.
The Future of Salesforce DevOps: Preparing for the AI Era
By establishing a robust DevOps foundation now, organizations can leverage these emerging predictive capabilities to transform reactive pipelines into proactive, self-correcting release architectures.
5 Ways Agentic AI is Redefining DevOps Architecture for Self-Healing CI/CD Systems
The era of the flaky test as a simple annoyance is over. As enterprises shift from deterministic applications to agentic AI, flakiness has evolved into a structural bottleneck for traditional CI/CD pipelines reliant on rigid, binary assertions. Because AI agents produce “Y-like” rather than exact results, DevOps architecture must fundamentally change. This article explores the transition from simple pipeline automation to true autonomy—detailing how multi-agent networks utilize predictive failure detection, self-healing test repair, autonomous incident remediation, and adaptive security scanning to create pipelines that actively problem-solve and adapt to code changes in real time.
Why DORA Metrics Look Different When AI Is Part of Your Development Workflow
DORA metrics have been a reliable compass for engineering teams for over a decade. Deployment frequency, lead time for changes, change failure rate, mean time to recovery, and reliability give teams a shared language for talking about delivery performance. The research behind them is solid, the benchmarks are well-established, and most engineering leaders know what […]
Sol Duara Readies Open Source Workflow Orchestration Platform for CD Foundation
Sol Duara, a provider of open source platforms for managing the software development lifecycle (SDLC), has announced its intent to contribute an open source orchestration platform for automating software development workflows to the Continuous Delivery (CD) Foundation. At the core of the Conduit platform from Sol Duara is CDrus Expressions, a framework that turns CDEvents […]
Perplexity Bumblebee Shakes Loose Hidden Threats on Dev Desktops
The fight to maintain security has moved to the engineer’s messy desktop. Last week, AI search provider Perplexity open-sourced an internal tool, Bumblebee, for checking developer machines, either Linux or macOS, for vulnerable software. Continuous integration pipelines have baked security checks into them, with Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) ensuring that the correct version of […]

Eight Ways AI Will Reshape DevOps in 2026 and Beyond
In 2026 and beyond, AI will not just change how software is developed, but change the very fundamentals of how people work.
Low-Code/No-Code in Microsoft 365: How Power Platform is Redefining Enterprise DevOps
Low-code and no-code platforms like Microsoft Power Platform are reshaping enterprise DevOps. When combined with cloud architecture, DevOps discipline, and AI-driven assistance, they enable organizations to deliver solutions faster without sacrificing control.
The Evolving Role of Observability in DevOps
DevOps practices have fundamentally changed how software is delivered, operated, and improved. At their heart, DevOps methodologies seek to unify development and operations, enabling teams to ship changes more quickly while maintaining system reliability. The discipline has grown beyond simple CI/CD automation to encompass culture, observability, and intelligent workflows. As organizations scale, they face new […]
How to Create an AI Acceptable Use Policy
When teams know which tools are acceptable and which data are off-limits, AI becomes a disciplined advantage rather than a quiet source of risk.
CloudBees Survey Surfaces Increase in Production Issues Attributable to AI
A survey of 213 IT leaders, conducted by CloudBees, finds that while 93% report they are seeing productivity gains that are driven by increased adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) tools, a full 81% also report they have seen an increase in production issues attributable to AI-generated code. Shared this week at an Agentic DevOps World […]
GitHub Breach Tied to Malicious VS Code Extension Exposes Thousands of Internal Repositories
