AI Hype vs. IT Reality: What to Expect from an IT Automation Platform That Actually Delivers

Artificial intelligence is everywhere: in keynotes, press releases, product announcements, and quarterly roadmaps. From help desk chatbots to predictive analytics, AI is being positioned as the silver bullet for almost every IT challenge. But under the surface, most IT leaders are asking a much more practical question: What’s actually real?

Agents of IT Podcast Episode 02 Sean and Ari's Hot Takes Agentic AI: Hype, Hope, or Hell No?

Welcome to the very first episode of Sean and Ari’s Hot Takes! AI agents are everywhere, but are they really ready for enterprise IT? In this episode, Resolve CEO Sean Heuer and COO Ari Stowe sit down with in-house guest Ian, flipping the mic for a hot-take-heavy discussion on the evolution of AI agents, what “production-ready” really means, and why context and guardrails matter more than hype. From real-world automation wins to the misconceptions about AI “black boxes,” we break down.

Key APM Metrics You Must Track

Application Performance Monitoring (APM) helps you understand how your software runs in production. When you track the right metrics, you see how requests move through your system, where slowdowns happen, and how resources are being used. With this knowledge, you can spot issues early and keep your applications reliable for your users. In this blog, we discuss the key APM metrics to monitor, grouped into categories, and why each one matters for performance and user experience.

Smarter AI Cost Optimization With Guardrails That Scale

AI adoption is reshaping how organizations innovate. It’s also driving cloud costs higher. CloudZero’s State Of AI Costs In 2025 report finds that for mature FinOps and engineering leaders, visibility into AI costs is a critical first step, but it’s not enough. To enable fast, responsible AI and machine learning innovation at scale, teams need pragmatic, flexible guardrails. They don’t need rigid budgets or knee-jerk shutdowns that slow progress or push teams into shadow ML.

{Unscripted} AI Verification and Rollback

Our first AI/ML capability, Continuous Verification, made Harness the first Continuous Delivery tool to understand observability telemetry and trigger rollbacks when deployments caused trouble. We knew we could do more to eliminate the friction involved in its setup. Deploying with confidence shouldn't require a coordination meeting between DevOps, SREs, and developers just to configure the right health checks. That’s why we’re introducing the next generation: AI Verification and Rollback. We’ve moved beyond just AI-powered analysis to AI-powered setup.

Automate Your Infrastructure Analysis with Scheduled AI Reports

The least exciting part of an operations or SRE role is often the manual, repetitive task of generating reports. It’s the Monday morning scramble to summarize weekly infrastructure health for the team, or the end-of-quarter push to build a capacity planning document. This is boilerplate work that pulls you away from critical engineering tasks. We believe that if a process is repeatable, it should be automated. That’s why we’re introducing Scheduled AI Investigations and Insights.

The growing DDoS threat UK businesses can't ignore

In today’s small and medium-sized UK businesses, most of the cybersecurity budget goes into protecting data and strengthening authentication. Those are important measures – the cost of a data breach is still enough to close your firm, after all. But they aren’t enough. Because in 2025, thanks to increased capabilities of DDoS attacks, you don’t have to lose your data to lose your business– you just have to lose access to it.
