Fear, Identity & Flaky Tests: AI in Reliability w/ Dana Lawson (CTO, Netlify)

The self-healing systems that SREs have dreamed about for a decade aren't a distant promise anymore — they're already being built, and the biggest barrier left is cultural. Dana Lawson, CTO at Netlify, has spent over 25 years in the trenches of developer infrastructure, from sysadmin roots to running the platform that powers 5% of the internet.

Kubecost Vs. OpenCost: What's The Difference? (Updated 2026)

Kubernetes (K8s) adoption has exploded over the past few years. But it hasn’t been easy to monitor, manage, and optimize K8s costs. To provide greater cost visibility into Kubernetes clusters and environments, Kubecost launched in 2019 and was acquired by IBM in 2024, while OpenCost debuted in 2022. OpenCost has several founding contributors. But Kubecost developed the cost allocation engine that the OpenCost implementation uses.

How Developers Build a Meaningful Career in the Age of AI

What does a meaningful developer career look like in the age of AI? We brought together four experts to answer exactly that. In this GitKon panel, GitKraken CMO Kate Adams moderates a conversation with Leon Noel (Managing Director of Engineering, Resilient Coders), Danny Thompson (Director of Technology and host of The Programming Podcast), Maggie Hunter (Recruitment Lead, GitKraken), and Dimitry Fonarev (CEO, Testkube) to explore how software engineers can future-proof their careers, grow their skills, and navigate an industry that is changing fast.

Developer guide for migrating to reproducible environments without rewriting

The primary obstacle to adopting reproducible environments is often the assumption that environment parity requires containerizing legacy monoliths from scratch or abandoning stable CI/CD pipelines. In reality, reproducibility is about capturing application intent through configuration rather than rebuilding the application itself. This guide outlines a non-disruptive, incremental path to migrating your workflow to production-identical environments without touching your core codebase.

KubeCon Europe 2026: AI Is Shipping Code Faster Than Orgs Can Govern It

KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2026 recently brought the cloud native community to Amsterdam. We were there all week bouncing between the booth, a Braintrust event with engineering leaders from across the community, and more hallway conversations than we can count. One talking point dominated the week: AI is shipping code faster than most engineering orgs can govern it. It also became clear that we weren't the only ones talking about this challenge.
