Recapping our webinar on the Engineering in the Age of AI: 2026 Benchmark Report

I remember the first time I used an AI coding assistant. I watched the cursor dance across my screen and generate a hundred lines of code in seconds. It felt like I had finally found a cheat code for software engineering. That initial rush of productivity is a dopamine hit that's intoxicating and makes you think you can do anything with just a simple prompt or two.

How to Reduce Service Desk Workload with AI and Automation

For many IT directors, the service desk feels permanently stretched. It’s a math problem that is forever in motion. Every quarter brings new apps, new devices, new access rules, and new ways for small issues to become daily interruptions. Even when tooling improves, the queue still grows because the work expands with the environment. The pressure shows up in familiar places, like rising ticket counts, tighter SLAs, and a large backlog of projects that need help.

Part Two: Turning Event Intelligence into Action - Real-World Value for Financial Enterprises

Event Intelligence Solutions are redefining how organizations manage complexity and risk across digital ecosystems. Their true power lies not only in detecting anomalies or suppressing noise, but in providing actionable, explainable intelligence that connects IT events to business impact.

Actionable Network Device Monitoring with Automated Anomaly Detection and AI Troubleshooting

Network device monitoring is often a mess of polling, graphs, and alerts that don't lead to answers. In this webinar, we'll show how to monitor routers, switches, and firewalls in a way that quickly surfaces what matters: interface health, errors, drops, saturation, latency signals, and performance regressions—without drowning in noise. You'll learn how Netdata turns raw SNMP metrics into high-signal insights using automated anomaly detection and AI-assisted troubleshooting, so your team can move from 'something is wrong' to 'here's the root cause' faster.

Clustered Directors, Pipeline Debugging, and More Integrations

Over the past two months, VirtualMetric DataStream delivered a substantial update cycle focused on resilience, productivity, and platform extensibility. This release strengthens the core architecture, makes pipeline development and troubleshooting significantly easier, and expands integration coverage across schemas, SIEMs, and cloud platforms. Let’s take a closer look.

How Deployment Pipelines Power Continuous Deployment

Let's be honest: everyone says they want continuous deployment. "Ship all the time! Move fast! Break absolutely nothing!" But the only reason any of that is even remotely possible is because of one unsung hero quietly doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes: Ah, the deployment pipeline - aka your code's obstacle course / gauntlet / walk in the park… depending on how well it's behaving.

Let's Encrypt is moving to 45-day certificates before everyone else

The CA/Browser Forum set 47-day certificates as target for 2029. Let’s Encrypt decided to implement it a year earlier. In December 2025, Let’s Encrypt announced their roadmap to cut certificate lifetimes from 90 days to 45 days by February 2028, a full year ahead of the industry mandate. It’s exactly what we’d expect from the CA that made automation mandatory from day one.

The 4 pillars of AI in 2026: Agents, cost, observability & sovereignty

AI is no longer just about "one-shot" prompts. In this session from our "From Idea to Agent" webinar, Ben Norris (AI Engineer at Civo) breaks down the four key priorities dominating the enterprise space in 2026. From the 130x explosion in token usage to the "vibe-coding" revolution, learn why businesses are turning away from US hyperscalers in favor of democratized, secure, and UK-sovereign AI infrastructure. We explore how autonomous agents are solving multi-step problems and why "Chain of Thought" reasoning is unlocking AI for heavily regulated industries like finance and healthcare.
