Running AI at Enterprise Scale w/ Anthropic, Descope, Port, Rootly and Twingate

The debate about whether AI can write production code is over. Companies are handing work to fleets of agents, and for many, they write most of the code that ships to production. The next challenge is everything that happens once an entire engineering organization runs this way, at full speed. Teams that generate code 10x faster still review it at human speed, and that mismatch is now the constraint. Code ownership is also becoming an issue, as developers learn to trust agentic processes a little too much. When an agent breaks production, who is responsible?

How to ship a POC in an afternoon: a Claude Code and Upsun walkthrough for product and product marketing

I have an Upsun project that's nothing but proofs of concept. It's a dashboard, basically. Each POC gets its own tile. Click in, and you land on a page with three tabs. The first tab is a written explanation of what the POC argues. The second tab is the POC itself, with a built-in demo that automates a walkthrough of the feature so the recipient can watch it run without me on the call.

Get Ship Done: Everything We Shipped in May 2026 | Harness Blog

AI coding tools promise faster development. What they don't show you is the queue forming at the pipeline, the security scanner you bypassed to stay fast, or the cost dashboard with a line now labeled "unknown" that is steadily growing. In May, we shipped 60+ features in 31 days across the entire delivery system: not just the editor, but everything downstream of it.

Best APM for Small Teams Without Dedicated DevOps in 2026

You don’t have an SRE. There’s no platform team. Your “monitoring strategy” is someone checking Slack for error alerts. When production breaks, the same two or three senior devs drop everything to debug. Sound familiar? Most APM tools are built for organizations with dedicated operations staff. They assume someone has time to configure dashboards, tune alert thresholds, and learn a complex query language. That person does not exist on your team.

Premium self-hosted runners are generally available

In December, we shared our plans to introduce pricing for self-hosted runners. You told us loud and clear that a free option matters. Today, as Premium Runners become generally available, we are happy to share that we will continue to have a free tier, which includes the use of up to 100 self-hosted runners as part of your plan. If your team needs more scale, dedicated support, or advanced management features, you can upgrade to Premium Runners when you’re ready.

How IT Teams Can Start Their AI Automation Journey | Agentic AI, ITSM & Zero Ticket IT

How should IT leaders approach automation and AI? Where should they start, and how can they drive measurable results without getting caught up in the hype? In this episode of Agents of IT, Fran Fernandez and Zach Austin sit down with Chris Ellis, Senior Technology Solutions Specialist at RICOne, to discuss practical IT automation strategies, agentic AI, service desk transformation, and the journey toward autonomous operations.

Improving Digital Employee Experience with Intelligent Automation | Reduce IT Tickets by 70%

Are your employees still waiting hours or days for IT issues to be resolved? Many organizations have invested heavily in ITSM platforms, self-service portals, and chatbots. Yet service desks continue to struggle with growing ticket volumes, rising costs, slow resolution times, and poor digital employee experiences. In this webinar, Resolve and Redington explore why traditional service management approaches often stop at ticket creation instead of ticket resolution, and how intelligent automation is helping enterprises move toward a Zero Ticket IT model.

Level up your Code on Arm and Ubuntu | Ubuntu Summit 26.04

What are the latest developments in Arm tooling on Ubuntu? In this talk, David explores Arm tooling to analyze and optimize workload performance, and how AI-assisted development using agentic AI and static analysis can accelerate porting and tuning applications for the Arm architecture. About David David Haikney is a Technical Product Director at Arm.
