How to migrate feature flags without breaking production

Jun 23, 2026 By Anthony Rindone In Datadog
Feature flag migrations have a reputation problem. Ask anybody who’s been through one before and you’ll hear the stories, usually from someone still a little frustrated about a bad cutover, with a postmortem or two to show for it. The reputation is mostly undeserved. While the risks are real, they’re well understood and easily controlled. Getting a migration right doesn’t require a big coordinated effort.

Stop Treating Coding Agent Plugins Like Settings: Introducing Agent Plugins Repositories

Jun 23, 2026 By Adam Browning In JFrog
Your developers install agent plugins every day: pulling from unmanaged GitHub repos, copying Cursor commands out of Slack, pointing Codex at a personal Git fork. Each of those is a new, uncontrolled distribution channel inside your software development lifecycle, and your platform team has zero visibility into any of it. A plugin is not a preference file. It is executable software, and right now it’s arriving on developer machines with no versioning, no provenance, and no audit trail.

Stop Token Maxing The Future of Al Budget Management

Jun 23, 2026 By Harness In Harness
The era of token maxing is over. When Claude Fable 5 launched last week at $10/$50 per million tokens - double the price of Opus 4.8 - it was a clear reminder that the most powerful model isn't always the right model.

Why do so many AI pilots succeed in testing but fail to reach production? In this webinar, Resolve and IT leaders from RisePoint explore one of the biggest challenges facing enterprise AI adoption today: trust.

What is an AI software factory?

Jun 23, 2026 By Ganesh Datta In Cortex
Ask a software engineer what they do and the answer, for years, has been some version of "I write code." That assumption is unwinding fast. AI agents can now write code, review pull requests, run tests, and ship to production, and they're taking on a fast-growing share of that work. As agents absorb more of the execution, the human role shifts.
