The platform engineering playbook for velocity, quality, and AI readiness at SIXT
Cortex co-founder and CTO Ganesh Datta sits down with Boyan Dimitrov, CTO at SIXT. Boyan shares how SIXT went from releasing software once or twice a month to nearly 10,000 deployments per month, and explains the platform engineering philosophy that made it possible.
Westminster is waking up to technology sovereignty. The UK must be a maker, not a taker.
Westminster is starting to recognise the importance of technology sovereignty. The recent Westminster Hall debate on technology sovereignty was encouraging to see. For those of us working in the UK technology sector, it felt like an important moment. Conversations about cloud infrastructure, data control and platform dependency have been happening inside the industry for years.
How to Optimize Your CI/CD Pipeline with AI (CircleCI Chunk Tutorial)
As AI-assisted coding tools increase the amount of code, commits, and builds, optimizing your CI pipeline becomes more important than ever. In this tutorial, we walk through how to use Chunk, CircleCI’s autonomous agent that validates your code at AI speed, to analyze your pipeline history, identify performance bottlenecks, and suggest optimizations to your CI/CD configuration. Chunk leverages critical CI/CD context like build history, test results, and execution data to keep pipelines healthy and moving at AI speed.
Building a secure golden path: Cloudsmith x Octopus Deploy webinar

Seven early warning signs you're heading toward a governance crisis
Governance failures rarely start with a major outage or a failed audit. They start with small, localized signals that teams treat as isolated annoyances. By the time a crisis becomes visible, the structural breakdown is already expensive to fix. If you are in IT leadership or platform engineering, you have likely seen these signs. The risk is ignoring them until they consolidate into a systemic failure.
Bad developer tools kill productivity
When tooling, tech debt, and friction get in the way, even simple tasks take five times longer.
