Introducing Harness Agent DLC: Extending your SDLC to AI Agents

Jul 21, 2026 By Harness In Harness
Harness Agent DLC: Ship AI Agents to Production Safely Building an AI agent is easy. Getting one into production safely is where teams get stuck. Harness Agent DLC extends the software delivery lifecycle to AI agents, giving teams a clear path to evaluate, deploy, secure, observe, and optimize agents in production. Learn more: Because agents dynamically choose their own tools, APIs, and actions, their behavior can change every time they run. Harness Agent DLC gives engineering teams the controls needed to move beyond experiments and operate agents safely at scale.

How to Optimize Cloudflare Connectivity for Performance, Cost, and Control

Jul 21, 2026 By Aurelian Bonciog In Megaport
Learn why adding a dedicated network edge between Cloudflare and your cloud can deliver faster, more predictable, cost-efficient traffic. There was a time when every user first connected to the corporate network before accessing business applications. The network perimeter was well defined, and IT controlled it; security was centralized behind firewalls, VPN concentrators, and proxy servers. Today, that perimeter no longer exists.

Optical Freedom in the Age of AI: Why Thin Transponders Are Reshaping Optical Network Design

Jul 21, 2026 By Mitch Simcoe In Ribbon
AI is driving the next wave of digital transformation, but it is also creating an unexpected challenge for network operators: optical capacity is becoming a strategic bottleneck. The same AI boom fueling billions of dollars in data center investment is placing unprecedented demand on optical networking infrastructure.

Better Together: Last9 + Altinity

Jul 21, 2026 By Last9 In Last9
Last9 and Altinity now run observability entirely in your own cloud, metrics, logs, traces, and profiles on an open-source ClickHouse stack, priced on capacity instead of ingestion, with Altinity operating the database so your team doesn't have to. Last9 is an observability platform built for high-cardinality telemetry. It unifies logs, metrics, and traces with native OpenTelemetry and Prometheus support, real-time alerting, and long-term retention.

What engineering teams are getting wrong in 2026

Jul 21, 2026 By Upsun In Upsun
Ask any engineering leader how AI has changed their team, and you'll get an optimistic answer. Ask them to prove it with a number, and most go quiet. That gap is the story of 2026. Individual engineers are faster than they've ever been. Teams, in a lot of cases, aren't. We talked to our own engineering team, the people who've spent the last year building and shipping Upsun Dispatch and living through exactly this shift, and the same tension came up again and again.

How to Test IT Workflows for Enterprise Workflow Automation

Jul 21, 2026 By Derek Pascarella In Resolve
Enterprise workflow automation can deliver faster resolution and ultimately more time back for IT teams. But not every workflow is ready to automate on day one, is it? This is where many automation programs stumble. Teams often start with signals like the most visible problem or the workflow that creates the most frustration. These are useful signals, but they’re not enough on their own. The best automation candidates are usually repeatable, measurable, and have clear inputs and outputs.
