Everyone wants an AI agent factory in 2026. Autonomous agents fixing bugs and shipping features while you sleep. I’ve been building toward that myself. But the error rates don’t support the fantasy. The best AI coding agents in the world fix about 50% of real bugs on SWE-bench verified. Half the time they fail. And AI-generated code produces 1.7x more issues than human-written code.

The VictoriaMetrics Observability Stack included two releases for VictoriaMetrics and a new LTS release for the VictoriaMetrics Operator in May. We’ve also published two detailed articles in the last few weeks: This release roundup covers updates for.

What is Exchange Online Archiving? Microsoft's EOA gives users an in-place archive mailbox - here's what it costs, what it covers, and where it leaves gaps.

OTT data from early 2026 shows streaming hierarchies holding steady while AI platforms reshuffled rapidly. Claude has substantially increased traffic since January, overtaking Gemini, and is on pace to challenge ChatGPT by fall. Doug Madory digs into the data in this new analysis.

Tempo started with a simple goal: make distributed tracing easier to run at scale. As tracing adoption has grown, however, so have the challenges, including higher data volumes, more complex architectures, and increasing demand for real-time insights directly from traces. Over the last year, we’ve been evolving Tempo’s architecture to meet that moment. And today, we’re sharing the results of those efforts with the release of Tempo 3.0.

Stay ahead of printer supply shortages, expand software inventory coverage, and maintain more accurate inventory records.

We're thrilled to announce that Cycle's European Control Plane is now live! While a few organizations have been utilizing it over the past month, we're eager to officially open access to all teams. Before diving deeper into the "why," let's clarify what a Cycle Control Plane actually is. If you visit our status page, you'll see a list of the core services powering Cycle. These services include everything from our APIs to our 'factory' build systems.

IT leaders rarely think they have an infrastructure problem. When a roadmap slips or an audit finding lands, the reflex is to hire more senior engineers, a bigger platform team, another DevOps lead. But headcount is rarely the real lever. The bottleneck is the "hidden factory": the undocumented, invisible work that sits between a developer writing code and that code reaching customers. It doesn't show up in post-mortems because engineers treat the workarounds as normal.

The pitch for private PKI gets more compelling every year. Public certificate lifetimes are down to 200 days, dropping to 47 by 2029. If you run your own private certificate authority, you make your own rules. Issue certificates for as long as you want, skip the renewal churn. Let’s Encrypt and DigiCert don’t get to tell you what to do. Apple does though.

Key Takeaway: The Harness MCP Server is now in the official Claude Connectors Directory. Developers using Claude can now discover and connect to Harness, gaining structured, real-time access to their pipelines, deployments, approvals, and delivery workflows. What makes this different from a typical API integration is what's underneath: the Harness Software Delivery Knowledge Graph, which gives Claude the context it needs to make decisions that are accurate, fast, and safe. ‍
