Introducing the Rootly Agent

During an incident, ask the Rootly Agent anything and it'll respond (and act) based on context and your data. Use the Rootly Agent to: The Rootly Agent performs actions on your behalf, so it is bound by the permissions assigned to your user. It will also ask for confirmation before taking significant actions. Rootly admins can turn it on for their workplaces and start running incidents even more efficiently.

How Clover moved beyond blue-green deployments with HAProxy Fusion Control Plane

Clover’s platform handles more than just payments: inventory, employee management, online sales, and customer loyalty programs are all running on a single monolith called the Clover Operating System (COS). Releasing updates to that platform reliably and without disrupting merchants is one of the hardest operational problems a platform team can face. For a decade, Clover ran HAProxy at the center of its infrastructure.

Atlassian's HR team leads AI transformation

AI transformation doesn’t succeed without people at the center. At Atlassian, HR is leading the way. Our People team believes that the best AI culture isn’t mandated from the top. It’s built by meeting employees where they are, partnering with leaders across the business, and making AI part of how work gets done from day one. See how Atlassian’s HR team is building a culture of experimentation where everyone builds, and what that looks like in practice.

AI Made Infrastructure Weird Again | Ubuntu Summit 26.04

For years, we were told we were escaping hardware. Virtualization, containers, and Kubernetes made the underlying servers practically invisible to the average application developer. Then came the AI boom and infrastructure got incredibly weird again. In this fast-paced lightning talk, Billy Olson from Canonical breaks down why the modern AI server is no longer just a machine, but a volatile distributed system packed inside a single chassis.

Tokenmaxxing: The AI Productivity Lie

Your best engineer spent 500,000 tokens last week. Nothing shipped. There's a name for it now: tokenmaxxing. Failed prompts, dead PRs, code that never reaches production — it looks like productivity, but it isn't. Most engineering leaders can't tell you what percentage of AI-generated code actually ships, or where the budget went. You should be able to say "that bug cost me $2,700 in tokens to fix.".

How to run self-hosted AI on your own infrastructure with Konstruct

Civo Platform Engineer M R Rishi demonstrates how to go from zero to self-hosted AI in minutes using Konstruct. While most teams are stuck managing thousands of configuration values across multiple models and tools, Rishi shows how Konstruct eliminates that complexity with GPU cluster provisioning, GitOps catalog deployments, and production-ready infrastructure on day zero.

3 Platform Engineering Shifts From Devoxx France 2026

Three days, 20 talks at Devoxx France 2026. The through-line wasn't AI hype - it was discipline. Context engineering, code review under AI volume, and the local-vs-remote question now shaping security, cost, and sovereignty. Fabien is a senior software engineer at Qovery. He writes about platform engineering, AI tooling, context engineering, and the practical realities of running modern developer infrastructure.

Why Small Business IT Disasters Are Almost Always Preventable

A server goes down on a Tuesday morning. A ransomware file starts encrypting documents at 2 a.m. A key employee clicks a link in what looked like a vendor invoice, and by the time anyone notices, credentials have been sitting in the wrong hands for six hours.

We won't train on your data is not a security architecture

Every enterprise contract I’ve signed in the last two years has the same clause. “Vendor will not use Customer Data to train machine learning models.” Sometimes it’s a paragraph. Sometimes it’s a whole section. The language varies but the intent is identical: don’t feed our production data into your AI. I get it. I sign the same clause as a vendor. But here’s what’s been bothering me: that clause is a promise, not an architecture.
