Stop wasting time on Postgres migrations. #speedscale #postgresql #postgres #database #programming

Jan 23, 2026 By Speedscale In Speedscale

AI Is Bigger Than LLMs: Why Network Teams Need to Think Beyond Chatbots and Agents

Jan 23, 2026 By Phil Gervasi In Kentik
AI in network operations is more than chatbots and agents. LLMs make AI easier to use, but the real value comes from the underlying system of telemetry, data pipelines, analytics, ML models, domain knowledge, and workflows that help engineers reason, predict, and act. When designed thoughtfully, AI doesn’t replace engineers. Instead, it augments their expertise and reduces cognitive load across complex network operations.

The Invisible Million Dollars and How AI Prevents Revenue Leakage

Jan 23, 2026 By Dharmesh Mistry , Chief Revenue Officer In iOPEX

The mandate has shifted from growth at all costs to efficient growth.

Engineering reliable AI agents: The prompt structure guide

Jan 23, 2026 By Tim Gühnemann In iLert
The difference between an AI assistant that "almost" works and one that consistently delivers high-value results is rarely a matter of raw model capability. Instead, the bottleneck is typically the quality and structure of the instructions provided. For DevOps and SRE teams building automated workflows, "magical prompt tricks" are no substitute for a repeatable, engineered structure.
