AI is making software delivery less stable. DORA's Nathen Harvey on the fix | EVOLVE 2026

Oct 8, 2026 By Cortex | Engineering Operations Platform In Cortex
DORA's data shows that as AI adoption goes up, individual effectiveness rises, and so does software delivery instability: more rollbacks and more unplanned rework. Nathen Harvey of Google's DORA team explains why AI acts as an amplifier of whatever system you already have. He walks through the seven capabilities that separate teams getting real gains from teams drowning in downstream chaos. He also argues that the risks stopping you from shipping AI-built work should become your platform roadmap.

When AI agents ignore the code freeze: governance that holds | EVOLVE 2026

Oct 8, 2026 By Cortex | Engineering Operations Platform In Cortex
AI can write 1,100 lines of code for a loading spinner in five minutes. Your change board still meets once a week. Karthik Jayaraman, VP of Information Technology at Fiserv, explains what happens when code generation speeds up and everything downstream stays the same. He covers why "human in the loop" doesn't scale, why handing all review to AI backfires, and why an agent told not to touch production needs a boundary it can't cross, not just an instruction.

Run incident response in your FedRAMP High environment

Oct 8, 2026 By Datadog In Datadog
Earlier this year, Datadog for Government achieved FedRAMP High certification, extending our GovCloud environment (US1-FED) to the federal government’s most sensitive civilian workloads. That certification now covers Datadog Incident Response, bringing paging, incident coordination, automation, and postmortem workflows into US1-FED. When a government system goes down, responders need to reach the right people, coordinate a fix, and keep stakeholders informed.

Define user actions on your web app with visual labeling in Product Analytics

Oct 8, 2026 By Datadog In Datadog
Adding or renaming a product event has traditionally meant creating an engineering ticket. Datadog Product Analytics uses the same SDKs and configuration as Real User Monitoring (RUM), and those SDKs autocapture actions such as clicks and taps. But an automatically generated action name describes the element rather than the user intent behind it.

10 Best AI Agent Infrastructure Platforms in 2026

Oct 8, 2026 By Noah Grinstein In Control Plane
AI agent infrastructure is the set of platforms that run agents and the code they write. It has three layers: sandboxes that isolate untrusted, model-generated code, runtimes that run the agent and its services in production, and orchestration layers that save an agent’s progress so a long run can resume after a failure. Most production agents need more than one layer. This guide compares 10 platforms across all three, with isolation, state, deployment, and compliance for each.

Where Jev fits in ops

Oct 8, 2026 By Mezmo In Mezmo
If you're using agents and MCPs to get a better understanding of your environment or work through an investigation, you can get a lot of useful information back. You can pull logs, look at recent changes, and check how services are configured, but you're still the one deciding what to do with all of it. That part of the process still lives in your head. To see where Jev might fit, look at decisions your team already makes and work backwards from them.
