If your Grape API calls error! inside an Active Record transaction, the client gets an error response and the database keeps the writes. No exception, no warning, no rollback. The request looks failed from the outside and succeeded on the inside. A fix merged into Grape on October 3 and is queued for Grape 4.1.0. It’s not released yet, so every current Grape version still behaves this way. Here’s why it happens, how to check whether you’re affected, and what changes when 4.1 ships.

In short, automating the AI agent lifecycle is this year’s pitch: Google Cloud’s walkthrough of 30th July 2026 turns the whole thing into a conversation with a coding agent.

If you’re looking for a comparison of cloud storage costs in the UK, you’ve come to the right place! We cover how much does cloud storage cost for the most popular cloud storage providers, including Internxt, Google, and more. In this article, you can compare monthly, annual, and lifetime plans from different providers, storage amounts, and additional features so you get the best cloud storage at the best prices. Prices are based on current conversion rates at the time of writing.

AIOps is often discussed as a broad technology category. That framing can make it difficult for an IT operations leader to connect the concept with the problems consuming the team’s time today. The practical question is simpler: Where does your team repeatedly lose time between detecting an issue and resolving it? Maybe engineers are drowning in alerts.

Datadog runs thousands of internal services and has been increasing global footprint year after year. For most of that growth, we treated services uniformly when making deployment and reliability decisions. At our current scale, that approach became expensive. A change destined for production rolls out to data centers sequentially, so deployment time grows with every data center we add.

SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), also known as Secure File Transfer Protocol, and Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) have similar acronyms but have two different jobs. Choose SFTP for sensitive files, routed or untrusted networks, authenticated automation, partner exchange and remote file management. Reserve TFTP for constrained bootstrapping or device-transfer workflows on a tightly controlled network when the endpoint requires a minimal design.

For years, engineering teams have faced the same challenge during incidents: the systems generating alerts are becoming more complex, but the investigation that follows is still largely manual. Monitors are good at telling us that something is wrong. The harder question is why. When an alert fires, an engineer still has to work out where to look, which signals matter, what hypothesis to test, and how the evidence across logs and metrics fits together.

AI agents are quickly becoming the first responders on the most sophisticated SecOps and DevOps teams, pulling threads on a threat or making sense of a flood of telemetry before a human even logs in. But most AI pricing hasn’t caught up. Token-based models leave you burning through usage with no visibility into what’s driving the cost, while per-seat caps ration access like AI is still a nice-to-have instead of core to how your team operates.

Long time no post! Here are some updates of what’s been going on.

Learn how Harness and Cosmos build trusted, governed software factories with automated, end-to-end agent orchestration and pipeline security. Software factories can greatly accelerate software development, but concerns about trust, governance, and predictability are limiting how broadly organizations deploy them.
