How Strategic Partnerships Are Reshaping Modern Product Development

Product development rarely happens inside a single organization anymore. As software platforms grow more complex and industries become more interconnected, companies increasingly rely on external partners to help design, build, and deliver new products. Cloud providers, platform vendors, engineering partners, and specialized research organizations now play an essential role in modern development environments. Instead of building every component internally, many companies operate within ecosystems where collaboration across organizations is necessary to move products forward.

Prompt, Deploy, Pray Is Dead: Validating AI Code with Proxymock

Recent outages tied to AI-assisted code changes have pushed companies into a corner. After several incidents with massive “blast radius” impacts, organizations like Amazon introduced stricter controls—mandating that senior engineers manually review all AI-generated code before it hits production.

From signals to savings: Optimizing cloud costs with Grafana Assistant and MCP servers

In today's cloud-native environments, managing resource waste and optimizing costs can feel like a constant battle. Operators, along with their fearless FinOps teams, spend countless hours hunting down unused resources, deciphering complex telemetry data, and manually implementing code or configuration changes to try to reduce cloud costs. But what if you could automate the entire process, from identifying waste to implementing the fix, all based on actual production telemetry?

How to Integrate Microsoft Entra - Part 1

Our Field CTO, Jeff Hunter, demonstrates how to integrate Microsoft Entra into NinjaOne using SAML, which forces NinjaOne accounts to use Microsoft Entra as the authentication source for login.
