What Do You Use for AI Agent Infrastructure? The Complete Guide to Building Production-Ready Agent Systems

Jan 31, 2026 By Alin Dobra In Bunnyshell
The question "what do you use for AI agent infrastructure?" has become one of the most searched queries in the DevOps and platform engineering space. And for good reason: the global AI agent market is projected to grow from $5.1 billion in 2024 to $47.1 billion by 2030, representing a compound annual growth rate of nearly 45%. With 85% of enterprises expected to implement AI agents by the end of 2025, getting the infrastructure right has never been more critical.

Track OpenAI Spend: Explain Where Your OpenAI Budget Goes

Jan 30, 2026 By Lyne Carolyne In CloudZero
The inevitable happened. A while back, Gartner projected that in 2026, 30–50% of all new SaaS product features would use LLM inference. That meant OpenAI-style costs would become a standard part of SaaS COGS. Today, OpenAI has become one of the most operationally significant line items for SaaS companies. But for many teams, this creates an uncomfortable gap. Engineering sees OpenAI as a fast path to innovation.

Refactor Safely with AI: Using MCP and Traffic Replay to Validate Code Changes

Jan 29, 2026 By Matthew LeRay In Speedscale
So as software engineers using AI coding assistants, we’re quickly learning of a new anti-pattern: Hallucinated Success. You give your agent (e.g. Claude via terminal or various IDE code assistants) the command “refactor the billing controller.” The agent happily complies, churning out nice clean code. The agent even goes so far as to write a new unit test suite that passes at 100%. You integrate it. Your test suites pass. Your production code breaks. Why?

Who should be on-call

Jan 29, 2026 By Sreekar In Spike
There usually isn’t a hard and fast rule about who should be on-call. Teams often look for criteria like seniority, experience, or expertise. While those factors certainly help, they might matter less than you think. It is often more useful to look at whether your processes are ready. When incident responses rely on memory and intuition rather than documentation, even experienced engineers can struggle. They might handle things through internal knowledge that isn’t available to everyone else.

If you’ve ever watched a pull request sit for hours because of a flaky test, you know how quickly test suites can turn from safety net into bottleneck. As teams grow, test suites tend to grow even faster because every new feature, bug fix, and regression adds more tests, while old or redundant tests are rarely cleaned up, so over time you end up running far more tests than are strictly needed for reliable feedback.

Stateful Vs. Stateless Applications: What's The Difference (And Why It Matters)

Think of a stateful application like a conversation with a barista who remembers your order every time you walk in. They know what you had yesterday, how you like it prepared, and what you’ll probably want next. That memory makes the experience smoother, but it also means that if that barista isn’t around, your experience can break down entirely. A stateless application, on the other hand, is similar to ordering from a self-service kiosk.

Boost your test coverage with CircleCI Chunk AI agent

Jan 28, 2026 By Roger Winter In CircleCI
Test coverage is one of those metrics everyone agrees matters until it’s time to actually write the tests. Between shipping features, fixing bugs, and handling production issues, writing comprehensive tests for edge cases and error paths often falls to the bottom of the backlog. The result is coverage gaps that accumulate technical debt and leave your codebase vulnerable to regressions. As AI-powered development tools reshape how we write code, the volume and velocity of changes is accelerating.

In this video, Mike Long (CEO & Co-founder, Kosli) explains why runtime is the true source of control, why approvals alone don’t reduce risk, and how modern teams build governance that reflects reality, not paperwork.

How Does Website Infrastructure Impact Operational Efficiency in Growing Teams?

Growing teams don't struggle because of big strategic questions first. They stumble on slow dashboards, broken logins, and sites that freeze during peak traffic. Website infrastructure either clears the runway or scatters debris across it. When systems respond fast, teams ship faster, support fewer fires, and argue less about whose tool failed. Poor infrastructure does the opposite. It multiplies tickets, adds delays, and burns morale. The pattern shows up in every scale-up: technology either amplifies discipline or exposes chaos instantly, sometimes in a single intense quarter of growth.

You provisioned resources predictably and paid for stable, linear usage. AI breaks that model. Today, AI costs behave like a high-performance engine with a hypersensitive throttle. A small input, like a prompt change or a single power user, can dramatically increase your fuel burn in seconds.

Drift Under Control: Keep Your Infrastructure Consistent with Continuous Detection, Intelligent Analysis, and Safe Remediation

Jan 22, 2026 By Hadas Weinrib In env0
In cloud-native environments, infrastructure is in constant flux. Teams move fast, leveraging Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), ephemeral resources, and automation to iterate quickly. But speed brings a cost: configuration drift. A single manual change in the cloud console, an untracked automation script, or an out-of-band fix can cause your infrastructure to fall out of sync with code. Over time, this erodes trust, breaks pipelines, and introduces silent risk.

Why Infrastructure Stability Is Critical for Reliable DevOps Pipelines

Why Infrastructure Stability Is Critical for Reliable DevOps Pipelines

Jan 22, 2026 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
Automation in DevOps helps teams move code from a commit to production faster. But it only works when the infrastructure is reliable and consistent. If servers fail, configurations drift, or scaling behaves unexpectedly, even a well-built pipeline can break. Stable infrastructure is what lets teams deploy many times a day with confidence instead of spending hours fixing failed releases. Often, the biggest difference between strong DevOps teams and struggling ones is how dependable their infrastructure is for continuous delivery.

Reducing Alert Noise with Composite Alerts in Hosted Graphite

Jan 21, 2026 By Benjamin Pitts In MetricFire
Traditional alerts are simple by design: if a metric crosses a threshold, fire an alert. While that simplicity makes alerts easy to configure, it also leads to alert noise, because single metrics rarely tell the full story and often trigger during non-actionable conditions. Hosted Graphite Composite Alerts solve this by allowing you to combine multiple alert conditions using logical expressions like AND (&&) and OR (||).

ServiceNow Without the Ticket Hell

ServiceNow is the system of record for change and approvals in most regulated enterprises. And yet, for many teams, it has become the place where delivery slows to a crawl. Not because ServiceNow is broken. But because the evidence model underneath it is. Developers ship fast through modern CI/CD pipelines, automated tests, and security scans, only to hit a wall when changes reach approval. Tickets bounce back. Evidence is questioned. Screenshots do not tell the full story. CABs hesitate. Releases wait.

They are caused by missing, fragmented, or untrusted evidence. Screenshots pasted into tickets. Proof assembled weeks later. Approvals stalled because no one can confidently say whether a change actually meets policy. When evidence is an afterthought, compliance turns into chaos.

The API Metrics Every SaaS Team Must Track In 2026

Jan 13, 2026 By Keith MacKenzie In CloudZero
API metrics have long been a core part of building and operating reliable SaaS products. Teams track the likes of request volume, latency, and uptime to ensure APIs perform as expected under load. First: API cost intelligence metrics measure how API usage translates into cloud, AI, and third-party spend — and attribute that cost to customers, features, workflows, and teams so SaaS businesses can protect margins as usage scales. But today, the API metrics that matter most go beyond performance.

4 foundations you need to scale AI in engineering

As a baseline, engineering leaders need their teams to adopt AI tools to speed up velocity and ship faster. Most organizations have already rolled out AI coding assistants or are evaluating them, but there's a really big difference between buying a tool and successfully scaling it across an engineering organization. If you layer AI on top of a chaotic codebase or a disorganized service catalog, you accelerate the creation of legacy code.

How to Automate Tier 1 IT Tickets Without Breaking ITSM Processes

Tier 1 ticket automation is one of the most tempting (and, to be brutally honest, most mishandled) initiatives in IT service management. On paper, it seems simple: automate the high-volume requests, reduce handle time, and give your service desk some breathing room. In practice, though, many teams end up with brittle scripts and automations that quietly drift outside ITSM guardrails.

How To Calculate Your OpenAI Cost Per API Call (And Why It Matters Now)

Jan 12, 2026 By Lyne Carolyne In CloudZero
OpenAI doesn’t bill per feature, per customer, or per transaction. It bills per token, across multiple models, with usage patterns that can change by the hour. As a result, two API calls that support the same feature can have very different costs. Without a clear way to translate token-level pricing into something product, engineering, and finance teams can reason about, AI spend becomes difficult to forecast and harder to control.

Are your LLM coding agents (like Cursor or Claude Code) hallucinating fixes because they don't know what's actually happening in production? In this video, Matt from Speedscale shows you how to bridge the gap between your local IDE and live production traffic using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Most observability tools just give you telemetry. Speedscale’s MCP server gives your agent the "inner workings" of actual API calls and payloads, so it can check its assumptions against reality. No more "vibe-coding" and hoping it works; let your agent find the 500 errors and rate limits for you.

Applying Feature Flag Context To Your OpenTelemetry Spans | Harness Blog

Integrating feature flag context into OpenTelemetry traces enhances observability by recording flag states as span attributes, making it easier to analyze how specific flags influence application behavior. When you toggle a feature flag, you're changing the behavior of your application; sometimes, in subtle ways that are hard to detect through logs or metrics alone. By adding feature flag attributes directly to spans, you can make these changes observable at the trace level.

A passenger who paid for extra legroom (perhaps for health reasons) ends up squeezed into a middle seat. Families scatter across the cabin. Premium seats sit half empty while the back rows overflow.

The business case for internal developer portals in 2026

Jan 6, 2026 By Anish Dhar In Cortex
Throughout 2025, we watched AI transform from a novelty into a non-negotiable requirement for engineering teams. Leaders moved quickly to roll out coding assistants, driven by the promise of unprecedented velocity. But as we settle into this new reality, it’s becoming clear that there is a massive difference between buying a tool and successfully scaling it. You can't just drop AI into a complex organization and expect it to work without a solid foundation.

How to achieve cloud agility without compromising control or cost

Jan 6, 2026 By Russell Smith In Civo
As organizations increasingly embrace digital transformation, cloud agility has become a critical priority. Yet, the promise of cloud-native speed and flexibility often comes with trade-offs: loss of control, unpredictable costs, and operational complexity. Many companies find themselves stuck between the desire for agility and the reality of legacy infrastructure or regulatory constraints. At Civo, we don't think you have to choose.

If Your Service Desk Automation Solution Needs More Humans, It's Not a Solution

Jan 6, 2026 By John Gorham In Resolve
Whenever service management has struggled, the conventional response was to add processes, tools, and people. That worked for a little while; at the very least, it worked well enough to keep the lights on. However, today’s environments don’t fail quietly or occasionally. They fail noisily and across tightly coupled systems. The end result is an operational model where human effort is consumed reconstructing context instead of resolving problems. More processes don’t fix that.

C# Equivalent of the TINYINT Data Type in SQL

Jan 5, 2026 By Victoria Lazarus In Devart
TINYINT is one of the simplest numeric data types you can ever work with in SQL databases. It stores small numeric values, saves space, and is commonly used for flags, statuses, and boolean-like fields. But the moment you bring C# into the picture, things get intriguing. There is no TINYINT keyword in C#, and no one-to-one mapping you can use. Instead, you are left asking an important question: What is the correct C# equivalent of the TINYINT data type in SQL?

A Recap of 2025

Jan 5, 2026 By Kaushik In Spike
In the past, our yearly recaps were mostly about numbers. What we shipped, how much Spike grew, and a long list of stats. See past recaps: 2023, 2024. But 2025 felt different to me. It had many moments that shaped how Spike as a product and the company looks today. Some of them were exciting. Some were uncomfortable, and all of them changed how I think about building Spike. We’re still bootstrapped and operating lean, with a team of fewer than ten people.

The Context Engineering Framework: 3 Shifts for AI-Powered Dev Teams

Jan 5, 2026 By Jade Nangah In GitKraken
You’ve probably used AI earlier today. Maybe you asked it to debug a function, generate a test case, or explain a legacy codebase you just inherited. But here’s the thing: you didn’t just type a question and get an answer. You explained your problem, shared background context, pasted code snippets, clarified what you meant, then refined the output until it was actually useful. In other words, you were context engineering.

Cloud Cost Optimization Strategies For 2026 And Beyond

Jan 5, 2026 By Keith MacKenzie In CloudZero
Modern SaaS companies aren’t reporting weaker margins because they forgot to rightsize instances or buy reservations. It’s more because cloud spend now moves at the speed of AI experiments, overnight shifts in customer usage, and automated systems that scale in seconds. That’s why the next generation of cloud cost optimization strategies looks fundamentally different from what worked even two years ago.

DNS-PERSIST-01 validates a domain once to get certificates forever

Jan 5, 2026 By Todd H. Gardner In CertKit
With the ACME protocol, to issue a certificate you have to prove you control the domain. The CA gives you a challenge, you complete it, and they issue your cert. The trouble is that every validation method has tradeoffs. And as certificate lifetimes get shorter, those tradeoffs will get more painful. DNS-PERSIST-01 is a new approach coming in 2026 that trades proof-of-freshness for easier operations.

From Promise to Practice: What Real AI SRE Can Actually Do When Production Breaks

Jan 4, 2026 By Itiel Shwartz In Komodor
We’ve written before about the advantages of training an AI SRE on real telemetry data rather than generic Kubernetes documentation. We’ve explained why RAG augmentation based on actual high-scale workload patterns produces better results than LLMs trained on generic scenarios or forum threads. The theory makes sense, the architecture is sound, and the approach is defensible.

Mature Companies Don't Care About Cloud Costs

“Cut spending!” “Slash costs!” “Stick to the budget!” Poke your head into almost any finance meeting in a SaaS company and you’re likely to hear one or more of the above phrases played on repeat. At first glance it makes sense: Costs are increasing, so we should reduce them. I’d like to challenge that narrative. Mature companies don’t care about cloud costs.

HubSpot and Slack Integration: Best Practices for 2026

Jan 1, 2026 By Dereck Mushingairi In Devart
HubSpot Slack integration has become essential for the 238,000 companies on HubSpot and the 42 million users active on Slack each day. However, the native connector offers only limited functionality. Notifications often get buried, CRM updates remain locked inside HubSpot, and reporting still relies on manual exports. Worse, it lacks workflow customization and bidirectional updates leaving teams without the visibility and flexibility they need. This guide shows how to move past those limits.
