New AI Features in Playwright (Live-Webinar)

An AI agent that can't open a browser is just guessing. Stefan from Checkly shows how giving AI coding agents a real browser via Playwright enables reliable end-to-end test generation and debugging, closing the quality gap created by faster, AI-driven shipping. The session compares Playwright MCP vs the Playwright CLI for agent workflows, showing that thanks to MCP spec changes, lazy tool loading, and skills, the two are now effectively just different interfaces to the same tool, with no real token advantage either way.

AI-Powered Ransomware Is Here: How Agentic AI Is Changing Cybersecurity

AI-powered ransomware is becoming a reality. Researchers recently demonstrated autonomous AI agents that can scout networks, steal credentials, and accelerate ransomware attacks. In this 60-second Zero Ticket Minute, learn what this means for cybersecurity, IT operations, and the future of agentic AI. Can AI also help stop these attacks? Watch to find out.

Trust, Resilience & AI: A Customer Panel with TD Bank & New York Life

What does it really take to be "the calm in the storm" during a major incident? In this candid panel from PagerDuty on Tour, Chris Conklin (Technology Executive AIOPs, TD Bank) and Sam Brinley (CVP Enterprise Cloud Solution Architect & Engineer at New York Life) sit down with PagerDuty to talk through two decades of evolution in IT operations – from the "Wild West" of early network management to today's push into AI and agentic operations.

Answer any cost question faster with the Cloud Cost skill in Bits Chat

Managing cloud, AI, and SaaS costs means answering a steady stream of questions from finance, leadership, and engineering teams. What changed? Which team owns the spend? Was an increase expected? Are we still on track against the budget? When each answer requires moving between dashboards, filtering cost data by team or service, or manually correlating billing data with observability data, it can slow down investigations while costs continue to rise.

Bridging the AI context gap: Why your IDE needs a platform contract

Hosting an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server on Upsun lets AI IDEs like Cursor, Codex, Claude Code and Windsurf reach real infrastructure context (database schemas, service logs, environment variables), closing the gap between local coding assistants and your cloud environment.

Langflow Observability with OpenTelemetry and SigNoz

Learn how to implement end to end monitoring and observability for Langflow using OpenTelemetry and SigNoz. In this video, we walk through instrumenting Langflow workflows, collecting traces, metrics, and logs, and visualizing everything in SigNoz to gain real time visibility into flow execution, LLM requests, tool calls, token usage, latency, failures, and performance bottlenecks. Langflow ships with built in OpenTelemetry support, making it easy to export telemetry to SigNoz with minimal configuration.

5 Best Video Caption Generation APIs for Developers

Adding captions to video at scale is a lot harder than it looks. The best video caption generation APIs have to handle accent diversity, timestamp drift, multilingual rendering, and real-time processing all at once, and most developers don't realize how challenging that gets until something breaks in production. After reviewing the leading platforms in this space, one thing became clear: the gap between a generic transcription tool and a purpose-built captioning API is huge. This guide covers five of the strongest options available right now, comparing their technical depth, pricing, and real-world fit.

The Impact of 6G on the Future of VoIP

Communication technology has evolved dramatically over the last few decades. From traditional landline systems to internet-based calling, every generation of networks has changed the way people connect. Today, millions of businesses and individuals rely on VoIP for: However, the future of VoIP will not stop with current internet technologies. The arrival of 6G networks is expected to introduce a new era of communication where voice services become faster, smarter, and more immersive.

How Business Process Workflow Automation Reduces Human Errors

Human error is one of the most expensive problems businesses deal with every single day. From data entry mistakes and missed approvals to incorrect invoices and compliance oversights, the cost of getting things wrong adds up fast. The good news is that business process workflow automation is changing how organizations manage their operations, and reducing human error is one of the most compelling reasons to adopt it. When repetitive, rule based tasks are handed off to automated systems, the margin for error shrinks dramatically and the quality of output improves across the board.

How Return Fraud Detection Misses the Products Inside the Box

Many return fraud detection workflows stop at the process layer. They confirm that a label was scanned, an RMA number matches an order, and a package falls within an accepted weight range. None of those checks confirms what is inside the box. A returned item can clear every check and still differ from the product that shipped. It may be a swapped SKU, a downgraded substitute, or a counterfeit. For teams processing returns at scale, this fraud pattern can pass unnoticed because the tooling verifies a transaction rather than inspecting a physical object.
