How to verify certificate renewal actually worked

On May 21, 2019, LinkedIn’s URL shortener went down. The certificate had expired. Millions of people cried out in terror when they couldn’t click on AI link bait. The interesting part: LinkedIn had renewed the certificate ten days earlier. The renewal succeeded. The certificate just never made it to the server. The renewed cert existed somewhere, but the server still served the old one. Most certificate automation is built to prevent the “I forgot to renew” problem.

What is an Internal Developer Platform (IDP)?

Over the past year, the term Internal Developer Platform has appeared everywhere in engineering discussions. At first glance, it might sound like another buzzword for a fancy dashboard. But the growing interest reflects a real shift in how organizations manage developer productivity and infrastructure. In this post, we will unpack Internal Developer Platforms (IDP), why they exist, what problem they solve, and whether it is worth considering adopting one.

3 Simple EC2 Cost Optimization Strategies That Actually Work

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has been the leader in cloud computing for more than 10 years. Despite a decade of innovation, no AWS service encapsulates cloud computing principles better than Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). Through EC2, AWS can offer flexible and scalable virtual infrastructure that can be ‘rented’ to run applications and workloads.

Continuous Integration (CI) Testing Best Practices in 2026

Continuous Integration (CI) is an essential practice in modern software development that enables developers to continuously integrate their code changes into a shared repository. Through automated building and testing processes, CI ensures that every code change is tested thoroughly, preventing integration issues and improving software quality. In this article, we will explore the best practices for effective Continuous Integration testing.

Your Cloud Is Transparent - Just Not to You

Many organizations that have moved to the cloud enjoy the flexibility and scalability it provides. But as cloud environments grow, a new challenge emerges: how to maintain real visibility and control over the environment that runs the business. In a new article published on People & Computers, we discuss one of the most common blind spots in modern cloud operations — situations where the same external provider both operates the environment and reports on its performance.

GPU Fragmentation Is Killing AI Economics

By 2026, the GPU shortage isn’t a supply-chain hiccup anymore. It’s baked into the system. Even after pouring billions into CapEx, most enterprises still want 40% more GPU capacity than they actually have. And it’s not because they’re chasing moonshots. Technology companies are training foundation models while serving inference for millions of users on the same clusters. AI labs are juggling fine-tuning, evaluation, and real-time experimentation side by side.

Harness AI + MCP server: A Single Prompt to Accelerate the Software Development Lifecycle

Pipeline Creation: Using a single prompt in the IDE, a CI/CD pipeline is created and triggered via the agent connected to the Harness MCP server. Failure Diagnosis and Fix: When the pipeline fails, the agent is used to diagnose the issue (a failed dependency) and propose a fix, which is then committed, pushed, and the pipeline re-triggered to succeed. Deployment: After a successful build, the artifact is deployed into a Kubernetes cluster. Incident Response.
