Brad Rydzewski, a senior vice president and general manager for Harness, said Codecov makes it simpler for DevOps teams to track testing coverage at a time when...
Why DIY Test Automation Succeeds Its Way Into a Problem
Ask any engineering team if they can build their own test automation framework, and the answer is almost always “yes.” With modern AI tools involved, that answer arrives faster and with more confidence than ever before. In 30 days, a capable team can spin up scripts, automate flows, generate test...
Latest OpenTofu Release Simplifies Configuration Updates
The latest update to the OpenTofu infrastructure-as-code (IaC) tool is making it simpler to update and refactor configurations without having to rework the entire codebase. Version 1.12.0 of OpenTofu has added a destroy = false lifecycle option that enables DevOps engineers to drop an object from state without issuing a...
How Microsoft is migrating repositories to GitHub
For the past decade, Azure DevOps has powered software development at Microsoft, supporting some of our largest repositories and most complex engineering workflows across Azure Repos, Boards, and Pipelines. Software development is being reshaped by AI, and where code lives now have a direct impact on how much value organizations...
Why the Trust Layer Is the Next Thing Developers Will Commodify
Engineering roadmaps inside enterprises that never planned to build AI products are now being eaten by AI work. Teams at hospitals, banks and government agencies are spending huge chunks of their sprint capacity wiring up models, UI components and accessibility plumbing for AI features that aren’t core to what their...
GitHub Copilot Gets Its Own App — and Agents Are the Reason Why
GitHub debuts the Copilot app at Microsoft Build 2026 — an agent-native desktop experience for managing parallel AI agents, canvases, sandboxes, and code review.
Survey Surfaces Pervasive Adoption of AI Across SDLC
Tricentis survey reveals 68% of orgs use AI in software delivery, but 60% admit to shipping untested code, leading to massive financial and security risks.
Article: Two Misconfigurations That Caused Spark OOM Failures on Kubernetes
After migrating Spark pipelines to Azure Kubernetes Service, two infrastructure settings interacted destructively: spark.kubernetes.local.dirs.tmpfs=true backed shuffle spill with RAM instead of disk, and a hard podAffinity rule forced all executors onto one node. Together, they caused repeated OOM kills invisible to standard diagnostics. By Pranav Bhasker
Microsoft Brings AI Agents Directly Into the Windows Terminal
Microsoft's Intelligent Terminal 0.1 brings native AI agent integration to the Windows Terminal. Here's what DevOps engineers need to know.
Regression Testing Tools in the Age of AI-Assisted Development: What Has Changed
For most of the past decade, the conversation around regression testing tools was fairly stable. The tools got faster, the integrations got smoother, and the underlying approach stayed largely the same: write tests, run them in CI, fix failures. The fundamental model did not change much because the problem did...
Azure DevOps and GitHub: Journeying into the AI Era
AI is changing how software gets planned, built, and reviewed. As teams adopt agentic development, the platform underneath those workflows matters more. They need tools that bring planning, coding, security, and collaboration together—and can keep pace with how development is evolving. That’s why we’re delivering the newest agentic capabilities on...
Shai-Hulud Clone ‘Miasma’ Compromises 32 Red Hat npm Packages
The threat group behind the notorious Mini Shai-Hulud worm last month put the complete source code for the malware into a GitHub repository, essentially open sourcing the threat so that other bad actors can create their own variants. GitHub reportedly took down the repository shortly after it appeared, but the...
Postman Adds AI Agent to Automate API Development and Governance
Postman added an artificial intelligence (AI) agent to its portfolio of tools and platforms for building and governing application programming interfaces (APIs) that can autonomously perform tasks ranging from development and documentation to exploration and setting up integrations with continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) environments. Company CEO Abhinav Asthana said the...
Article: Stragglers, Not Failures: How Adaptive Hedged Requests Reduce p99 Latency by 74 Percent
In fan-out microservice architectures, slow-but-completing requests accumulate across services and drive p99 latency far higher than per-service metrics suggest. This article presents an adaptive hedging mechanism that uses DDSketch for real-time quantile estimation, windowed rotation to handle distribution drift, and a token-bucket budget to prevent load amplification. By Prathamesh Bhope
How AWS DevOps Agent uses multi-agent reasoning to find root causes
Confirmation bias is one of the most common reasons incident investigations take longer than they should. An on-call engineer gets alerted, forms a theory based on initial triage and experience, finds one piece of supporting evidence, and stops looking. The actual root cause — buried in a different service, a...
Automate root cause analysis across Datadog and Elasticsearch with AWS DevOps Agent
Modern distributed systems route business transactions through dozens of microservices, message queues, and event streams. When a message fails to process or processing exceeds SLA thresholds, troubleshooting requires correlating logs from tools like Elasticsearch, metrics from Datadog, and infrastructure change events in AWS CloudTrail. Correlating these signals manually across heterogeneous...
