Test failures are inevitable. A broken condition, a missed edge case, or a last-minute refactor can trip up even the most careful changes. That’s part of shipping software. What shouldn’t be part of the job is spending half your afternoon parsing logs and chasing down the root cause. Now, there’s a faster way. This guide shows how to use the CircleCI MCP server to identify, understand, and resolve failing tests in a CI/CD build without ever leaving your editor.

Deploying Large Language Model (LLM) applications can transform ideas into valuable services. But, deployment challenges can slow down even experienced developers. In this tutorial, you will build and deploy a LangChain application using LangServe and CircleCI on Google Cloud Run. You will create a text summarization tool powered by Google’s Gemini model. You will use Langserve to expose it as an API. You will automate testing and deployment to Google Cloud Run using CircleCI.

We continue to evolve Grafana Cloud Synthetic Monitoring to help you simulate even the most complex transactions and user journeys, and proactively monitor the performance of your web applications and APIs. In line with this effort, we’re excited to share that k6 browser checks in Synthetic Monitoring are now generally available.

We’re thrilled to announce our partnership with Nutanix, integrating Densify’s AI-powered Kubernetes optimization solution, Kubex, with the Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP). This collaboration brings together two leading technologies to radically improve how enterprise Kubernetes environments are managed—through AI-driven insights and end-to-end automation of resource optimization.

As an IT professional, you know that Microsoft Teams is only as good as the network it runs on. Poor call quality (choppy audio, frozen video, or sudden disconnections) can disrupt productivity and frustrate users. But how do you pinpoint the root cause? The answer lies in monitoring Microsoft Teams performance metrics.

I have just finished reviewing the Microsoft Work Trend Index Annual Report for 2025, which offers fascinating insights into the next wave of organizational evolution. I am particularly excited about the section titled ‘Journey to the Frontier Firm’ and what is possible in phase three, where employees will harness the power of multiple AI agents, creating an ‘agentic swarm’ capable of executing tasks at a scale and speed previously unimaginable.

The challenges plaguing IT operations are not new. The exponential growth of hybrid and multi-cloud environments, increasing data volume, complexity, and accelerating pace of change have made traditional approaches to IT operations unsustainable.

We're taking a look at our clients' journey to a hybrid-cloud architecture, exploring the benefits private cloud boasts over public, and how this helps an organisation's digital transformation. In a previous post, we explored the drivers behind an organisation moving from an on-premise strategy to the use of private clouds.

A public status page is a page that you can share with your team to show a summary view of your third-party dependencies. We rolled out this feature recently to all IncidentHub users. This article is a quick tour of the feature and how to set it up.

In the last few months, it feels like LLMs have gone from a nice place to consult for a few ideas to the first place you might turn for input. An AI can offer insight on that work presentation you need to put together, it will write you a business plan outline with two lines of prompting—and include categories you might forget to add, and, most impressively for me recently, it will even criticise your tone in work correspondence.
