Your Production System Is Now in Your Pocket | Harness Blog

Jul 27, 2026 By Aurora Chun In Harness
In April, Harness announced the Harness Cursor Plugin, a native integration that lets developers manage CI/CD pipelines, deployments, and security posture using natural language inside Cursor, governed by the same RBAC, OPA policies, and audit trails already enforced across the Harness platform. That experience has, until now, lived entirely at a desk.

Why Your Sidekiq Jobs Are Slower Than You Think, and How AppSignal Fixes That

Jul 27, 2026 By Muhammed Ali In AppSignal
As developers, we sometimes find ourselves in situations where something feels slower than it should be. The first thing we tell ourselves is “Maybe I need a different tool.” And sure, at times, it might be due to the tool, I’ll give you that. But most of the time, it comes down to how you’ve implemented certain features. That’s one of the downsides that comes with having too much freedom.

Ubuntu's virtualization hardware enablement (HWE) stack: a new model for confidential computing enablement

Jul 27, 2026 By Ijlal Loutfi In Canonical
Confidential computing is moving quickly. The foundation is already here: AMD SEV-SNP and Intel TDX have made it possible to run confidential virtual machines (VMs) with stronger protection for data in use. Ubuntu 26.04 Long Term Support (LTS) brings integrated host and guest support for both of these technologies, making confidential computing a native part of the Ubuntu virtualization offering..

AI fatigue: what happens when product teams can't keep up with their own agents

Jul 27, 2026 By Upsun In Upsun
For the past two years, the conversation around AI in software engineering has focused on one thing: productivity. Engineers are shipping faster, writing more code, and completing work in hours that once took days. Every new model promises another leap forward. What gets far less attention is what all that speed demands from the people using it. Guillaume Moigneu, Field CTO at Upsun, has spent the past year watching engineering teams adapt to AI-assisted development.

Business continuity starts with portability

Jul 27, 2026 By Upsun In Upsun
Business continuity planning has a quiet assumption built into most of it: that the infrastructure the plan runs on will cooperate. Backup systems will be accessible. Recovery procedures will work as documented. The provider whose services underpin the critical path will be available, or at least recoverable within the window the plan specifies. That assumption is tested every time a major provider has an outage, a regional failure, or a service disruption that cascades across dependent workloads.

Executive Roundtable: Guardrails for the Autonomous Era

Jul 27, 2026 By Libi Michelson In logz.io
Ask ten engineering leaders how far their organization has actually gotten with autonomous AI, and most will admit the same thing once the marketing language drops away: not nearly as far as it looks from the outside. That was the undercurrent of a roundtable Logz.io and Twingate hosted on July 22, 2026, bringing together VPs of engineering, CTOs, senior security directors, and several product leaders across different industries and company stages.

Meet Assistant Workspace: Full-page experience for Grafana Assistant

Jul 27, 2026 By Grafana In Grafana
Introducing Assistant Workspace, a full-page surface for Grafana Assistant, built for the conversations that outgrow a sidebar. Dig into longer investigations, compare data side by side, and keep your train of thought in one place — then turn what you find into a dashboard without starting over. When a quick question becomes a real investigation, open it in Workspace and keep going. In this video, Ed Poole gives us a demo of how to use Workspace, including the use of canvases to see more information than before.

Shipped: Every cost recommendation now comes with the why and the how

Jul 27, 2026 By Kevin Lamb In CloudZero
A savings number tells you money is on the table, but it doesn’t tell you whether the finding holds up, what it’s based on, or what to do next. In that gap, recommendations pile up unactioned. When you’re staring at thousands of them, a title and a dollar figure isn’t enough to decide which are safe to act on.

Claude Opus 5 pricing: same sticker, different bill

Jul 27, 2026 By Lyne Carolyne In CloudZero
Claude Opus 5 launched July 24, 2026 at $5 per million input tokens and $25 per million output tokens, identical to Opus 4.8. It delivers near Claude Fable 5 performance at half Fable's price and is now the default model on Claude Max. New effort settings let teams trade capability for token savings, which means two teams on identical pricing can now run up very different bills. Finance teams, that last part is your problem. Anthropic has shipped a model that costs exactly what the old one cost.
