Most AI model benchmarks measure general coding ability or reasoning. GitBench, built by GitKraken developer advocate Chris Griffing, measures something narrower and more practical: how well a given AI model handles specific Git tasks, starting with commit squashing, identifying which commits in a messy history should be combined into one clean commit.

In the Startup Stories with Atlassian series, we interview founders about their entrepreneurial journey, learn about the problems they are trying to solve, and explore how their teams are using Atlassian tools to grow and deliver value to their customers. In this episode of Startup Stories with Atlassian, Adam sits down with Stan Suchkov, Founder and CEO of Evolve, to explore why pivoting isn't the failure most founders fear – and why the best founders do it deliberately, quickly, and without losing their team in the process.

Enterprise AI is only useful when it actually runs in production, inside the tools teams already depend on. Getting there is harder than it sounds. Forward Deployed Engineers at Atlassian work directly inside some of the world's largest organizations, building AI-powered agents, connectors, and workflows on Atlassian's platform. They work alongside customers to understand the real constraints, design solutions that hold up at scale, and see them through to deployment.

Your Claude session cost $20. Shipping it safely shouldn't cost you a weekend. Vibe coders can build the app. Most can't deploy it without leaving the door open. Konstruct handles the infra, the Kubernetes, the "please don't get hacked" part, so your lazy Saturday idea gets to survive contact with the internet.

Kintsugi puts sales tax compliance on autopilot for 7,300 companies selling into 110 countries, and its tax engine sits inside other companies' checkouts. The answer has to arrive before the shopper finishes paying. "Typically, a customer's expectation is that we are returning the sales tax estimate on the invoice within 100 milliseconds." The cost of missing is not abstract: "For every minute that our sales tax API, if it ever goes down, our customers are not able to collect roughly $4 million in sales tax that they should be collecting.".

CircleCI now works with Cursor Origin. Connect your repo, push a commit, and run your existing CircleCI pipeline. Now in beta.

This session walks SQL Server developers through a complete database development workflow, from designing schema changes to testing and deploying them safely, using SQL Toolbelt Essentials. Most database teams don't struggle with SQL itself. The friction comes from process: schema changes made without a clear picture of what's already there, inconsistent code quality across a team, databases left outside version control, and deployments that feel riskier than they should. This session covers all four, with a live demo in SSMS for each one.
