Continuous Delivery Excellence with Harness IDP | Harness Blog

This article explores how Harness Internal Developer Portal accelerates continuous delivery by providing self-service workflows, standardized deployment pipelines, and unified service catalogs. Discover how platform engineering teams use IDP to reduce deployment friction, improve developer velocity, and achieve operational excellence across the software delivery lifecycle. Why does achieving continuous delivery excellence feel like pushing water uphill when you already have CI/CD pipelines in place?

Sovereign cloud and open source: Why software freedom matters for digital sovereignty

The sovereign cloud conversation has been dominated by physical location and legal jurisdiction. Both matter. But there's a third leg most discussions skip: the software stack itself. If the platform running a sovereign cloud is proprietary code controlled by a company in another country, its sovereignty has a soft underside.

Gremlin app for Dynatrace - DEMO!

Dynatrace gives engineering teams deep, real-time visibility into every service they run. That visibility is the foundation of every effective reliability practice, and it's exactly the foundation Gremlin is built to extend. Once you can see how your distributed systems behave today, the next step is knowing how they'll behave under failure tomorrow—and to do it before those failures happen.

AI cost governance: policies to control AI spend

AI cost governance is the set of policies and controls that keep AI spend predictable and attributable: budget caps and token quotas set before deployment, prompt caching to cut repeat token costs, hard limits on reasoning steps and tool calls, and unified allocation so every dollar maps to a team, feature, or customer. Governance fails when it's advisory. It works when the caps are enforced in the platform and someone owns the number.

AI finds vulnerabilities faster than you can fix them

If an AI model can find a vulnerability for an attacker, the same model should help a defender fix it. In practice, the math doesn't favor the defender. This quick video digs into the real asymmetry AI-powered vulnerability discovery creates: The goal is models acting as tools for defenders, not weapons for attackers. Getting there means rethinking how much ground your team can realistically cover on its own.

How Smarter Patch Management Strengthens IT Operational Resilience

Operational resilience depends on an organization's ability to maintain essential systems when disruptions occur. Cyberattacks, software failures, and configuration problems can all threaten that stability. Yet one of the most preventable sources of risk is also one of the most persistent: outdated software. Patch management is often treated as routine maintenance. In practice, it supports both cybersecurity and service continuity. A well-structured patching process reduces exposure to known vulnerabilities while helping IT teams keep applications and operating systems reliable.

How to Make DevOps Dashboards and ITSM Content Easier to Read with Typography

Operations teams live inside text. They read alerts, dashboards, logs, runbooks, release notes, escalation messages, postmortems, service catalogs, and knowledge base articles. During normal work, that text helps teams understand systems. During an incident, it can decide how quickly people separate a signal from noise.

13 best practices for database development in Visual Studio 2026

Database development rarely breaks all at once. It happens through small changes that seem harmless at the time. Someone adds a column directly to the shared database. A stored procedure gets fixed in production but not in the project. An index is created in staging and never added anywhere else. Everything looks fine until the next release. Then the differences start showing up, and nobody is quite sure which version of the schema is correct.

Zero downtime: Franck Pachot on his 'migration' from Oracle to PostgreSQL | The Simple Talk Podcast

We catch up with Franck Pachot, a longtime database community figure who has moved through Oracle, CERN, Yugabyte, MongoDB and, most recently, the PostgreSQL team at Microsoft. Hear stories from Franck's varied career, learn what makes technical content genuinely useful to developers, how PostgreSQL's MVCC and extension model differs from Oracle's, and what's really going on with Microsoft's growing family of PostgreSQL offerings (Flexible Server, Horizon DB, and DocumentDB).

Redgate Flyway Enterprise MCP for AI and Agentic Workflows

Huxley Kendell demonstrates how Redgate Flyway Enterprise enables safe, governed, and deterministic integration of AI and agentic workflows into database development processes. Local Workflows Huxley showcases how developers can use an MCP server to interact with Flyway Enterprise through local AI tools like Claude. Agentic Workflows The demo presents a future-ready, fully agentic workflow designed for enterprise automation through an autonomous copilot.
