Your Developers Feel More Productive. Your Codebase Disagrees.

AI adoption is up. Developer confidence is up. So why is code duplication up 10x since 2022? GitKraken VP of Developer Research Jeremy Castile shares the frameworks we built after analyzing 211 million lines of code and talking to hundreds of engineering teams. This is the playbook version of the research — practical, not theoretical. In this session, you'll learn: The gap between how productive developers feel and what's actually happening in the codebase is real. If you can't measure it, you're just guessing. Nobody wants to be guessing with this stuff.

Ecommerce replatforming without a revenue freeze: how preview environments reduce migration risk

Key takeaway: Upsun eliminates the need for code freezes during ecommerce migrations by using instant, data-complete preview environments to validate replatforming efforts against production-grade data without interrupting the live store. Ecommerce replatforming is one of the highest-stakes decisions an online retailer makes, and for most, the biggest risk is what happens to revenue during the migration.

Women in Tech: Journeys, Grit, and the Future We're Building | Harness Blog

Technology evolves rapidly — but progress in tech isn’t driven by tools alone. It’s driven by people. By curiosity. By courage. By individuals who choose to step into complex systems and shape how they function. As an engineering leader driving application and API security, I have always believed that our industry is at its best when complex concepts are made accessible and practical for everyone.

Faster code doesn't mean faster delivery

Software development has never moved this fast. JetBrains' 2026 AI Pulse Survey found that 90% of developers now use at least one AI tool at work. CircleCI's 2026 State of Software Delivery report, covering 28 million workflows across 22,000 organizations, found that daily CI workflow runs jumped 59% year over year, the largest single increase they've ever recorded. In that same period, CI success rates dropped to a five-year low.

Cloud Cost Visibility at Scale: Why It Fails & How to Fix It | Harness Blog

Why does your cloud cost visibility break down the moment someone spins up a Kubernetes cluster in a new region without telling anyone? You get the alert three weeks later when the bill arrives — and by then, nobody remembers which experiment justified the spend, or which team should own it. This scenario repeats constantly across platform teams managing multi-cloud environments at scale. Cloud cost visibility works fine when you have five services and one AWS account.

Smarter Alert Management: Test on Historical Data, Review Transitions, and Preview Silencing Schedules

Alert fatigue usually isn’t caused by one thing. It’s the accumulation of thresholds that are slightly too sensitive, alerts that fire during known maintenance windows, and historical patterns that nobody has the tools to review easily. Fixing it requires better visibility into how alerts actually behave over time, and a way to test changes before they hit production. We’ve shipped three improvements to alerting in Netdata that address different parts of this problem.

Why post-mortem action items die

You can run the best debrief of your life. Honest timeline, blameless tone, real insights. People leave the room nodding. And then nothing happens. This is the last mile problem of post-mortems - and it's an easy trap to fall into. When you've just been through a stressful incident, getting it back up is the priority. Once it's over, the post-mortem itself can feel like the finish line. You've documented what happened, been honest about it, identified what went wrong. It feels like the work is done.

An introduction to Konstruct: Production-ready IDP in minutes

What if you could own your platform and deploy it anywhere, without months of GitOps setup or vendor lock-in? Konstruct is an Internal Developer Platform that gives you a production-grade platform-as-a-service, deployed in minutes. It delivers a GitOps-powered experience that is fully owned and operated by you, distributing consistent, self-service control planes to development teams so they can ship without friction.

How Automation Can Eliminate Tax Season Chaos for SaaS and DevOps Teams

The arrival of tax season often feels like a scheduled system crash. For SaaS founders and DevOps teams, the transition from building and scaling to hunting down receipts and categorizing cloud spend is a jarring shift. It is a period defined by context switching and administrative friction. However, the same principles that govern high-performing engineering teams, efficiency, scalability, and automation, can be applied to financial workflows. By moving away from manual data entry and toward automated systems, teams can eliminate the seasonal panic and maintain their focus on innovation.
