AI Dev Tools: What 100K Engineers at Google Really Taught Us

AI developer productivity, agentic workflows, and the lessons learned running engineering tools for 100,000+ software engineers at Google. John Montgomery, CCO at GitKraken, sits down with Asim Hussain, co-founder of Alterion AI and former Google VP of Engineering Productivity, to get real about what AI actually changes for engineering teams in 2025.

The 5 Hats We Wear During Code Review

If you are a software developer or engineer, you most likely have to do code review. At the bare minimum, you probably have had your pull requests reviewed. If you haven’t, then you are probably curious about how the rest of the world deals with the process. In general, we use code review to make sure we are shipping high quality code that does what it’s supposed to and is easy to maintain. That’s the goal, at least. In practice, code review can get messy.

A Developer's Guide to Aiven Apps

We recently announced the Limited Availability (LA) launch of Aiven Apps, which lets teams define, run, and scale production-ready, real-time applications using container and Compose-based workflows they already know. It provides a managed, stateless runtime that runs directly inside your data perimeter, letting you deploy applications alongside open-source data services like PostgreSQL and Apache Kafka.

Snyk vulnerability compliance with kosli evaluate trail

Kosli recently released kosli evaluate trail, a command that evaluates selected attestations in a Kosli trail against a Rego policy file. We used it to build a complete and useful solution for tracking Snyk container vulnerabilities for cyber-dojo (an open-sourced browser based online tool for practising TDD which Kosli uses for demos). You’ll read about what we built, why we built it, how we tested it, and specifically.

Claude Mythos: Sorting Fact from Fiction and What It Means for Cyber Defense in 2026

Claude Mythos may be wrapped in hype, but the core signal is real: AI is making vulnerability discovery much faster, which means defenders have less time than ever to patch and enforce secure configurations. The real risk isn’t just smarter models, it’s that security teams will face a flood of new findings while the window between disclosure and exploitation keeps shrinking.

Engineering teams in 2027

There's a conversation I keep having with our design partners at incident.io. It starts when I ask "what are you doing with AI internally?" and lands in a similar place every time. The shape of how their engineering teams work is changing fast. Not in vague "AI is transforming everything" ways, but in concrete, repeatable patterns. Different companies are building the same things. The frontier teams are six to twelve months ahead of the average, and they're describing the same future.

AI Observability In 2026: What It Is, The Five Pillars, And Why Cost Is The One Everyone Skips

AI observability covers performance, quality, reliability, safety, and cost. Most tools handle the first four. Here's what each pillar means, which tools cover which, and why cost is the dimension enterprises keep missing.

Why Standard Service Desk Automation Doesn't Reduce Ticket Volume (and What Does)

The platform has been live for six months. Workflows are running, the virtual agent is fielding requests, and the vendor dashboard shows deflection numbers are going up. Then someone pulls the actual ticket volume report, and it looks almost identical to the one before the rollout. This comes up constantly in enterprise IT, and most teams respond the same way. They tell themselves the platform needs more automations, a wider user base, and another quarter to mature. Months pass.

Agentic Pipelines now supports Claude Code

Last month, we introduced Agentic Pipelines, a new way to orchestrate AI agents to automatically, and routinely, handle the repetitive engineering chores so you can get back to solving the fun, cool problems. When we launched, Agentic Pipelines supported Atlassian’s developer AI agent, Rovo Dev. Today, we’re opening up Agentic Pipelines to even more teams: You can now run agentic steps in your pipeline with Claude as the provider.
