Beyond the frontend: choosing between Vercel and Upsun for full-stack applications in 2026

Apr 21, 2026 By Upsun In Upsun
If you're building a modern web application in 2026, Vercel is almost certainly on your shortlist, and probably near the top of it. The developer experience Vercel pioneered for Next.js and the frontend ecosystem around it is a real achievement. Push a branch, get a preview URL, ship. It works, it's fast, and an entire generation of frontend teams have built their workflow around it. This article is not here to argue with any of that.

From Deployment to Confidence: Why Continuous Verification Is the Missing Piece in Modern CD Pipelines | Harness Blog

Apr 21, 2026 By Stefano Mazzone In Harness
Modern engineering teams have become exceptionally good at shipping software quickly. With modern CI/CD platforms, what once required careful coordination, late-night release windows, and layers of approvals now happens almost invisibly. Pipelines execute in minutes. Releases flow continuously. The friction that once slowed everything down has been engineered away. From the outside, it looks like progress in its purest form. Automation removed bottlenecks. Cloud infrastructure removed limits.

What is Terragrunt and how does it simplify Terraform Workflows? | Harness Blog

Apr 21, 2026 By Mrinalini Sugosh In Harness
Managing Terraform across dozens of AWS accounts becomes a maintenance nightmare fast. Teams end up copy-pasting the same backend configurations, provider blocks, and variable definitions hundreds of times. Terragrunt acts as an orchestrator above Terraform, eliminating this duplication through shared configuration inheritance and dependency management. When financial services teams manage 200+ microservices across multiple environments, these DRY patterns become essential for governance and consistency.

Over the past few months, Puppet has partnered with Bryxx to host a series of leadership lunches across Europe, bringing together infrastructure, operations, and security leaders for candid, peer‑to‑peer conversations. These sessions weren’t marketing briefings. They were grounded discussions about what teams are facing right now: tighter regulation, rising security pressure, shifting cloud strategies, and the practical realities of automation and AI.

Chaos Engineering vs. Traditional Testing: What's the Difference? | Resilience Testing | Harness

Apr 21, 2026 By Harness In Harness
Stop treating system outages like surprises and start preparing for them. While traditional software testing is the bedrock of development, using unit, integration, and regression tests to verify that code meets specific requirements, it only accounts for what we expect to happen. Chaos Engineering takes a different approach by shifting the focus from bug prevention to system resilience. Instead of asking "does this work?", Chaos Engineering asks "how does this survive?" by injecting real-world turbulence like network latency or pod failures directly into production-like environments.

RTO and RPO in Disaster Recovery Explained | Resilience Testing | Harness

Apr 21, 2026 By Harness In Harness
Struggling with disaster recovery planning? Learn the simple difference between RTO and RPO, the two most important metrics every developer, DevOps engineer, and SRE must understand. RTO (Recovery Time Objective) tells you exactly how long your systems can stay down before it hurts your business. RPO (Recovery Point Objective) shows how much recent data you can afford to lose in an outage.

8 Signs Your Service Desk Automation Tool Has Become the Bottleneck

Apr 21, 2026 By John Gorham In Resolve
Most service desk automation problems get misdiagnosed. You see the ticket backlog, the manual work, and the slow incident response, and assume the issue is due to process, adoption, or staffing. But at some point, the math stops working. You’ve invested in a service desk automation tool, given it time to mature, built workflows around it, and the results still don’t match what was promised.
