Deployment of AWS Step Functions with Lambda and CircleCI

In this guide, you will build and deploy a serverless data processing workflow using AWS Step Functions and AWS Lambda. This approach enables you to orchestrate discrete processing tasks in a scalable and cost-efficient way, leveraging the event-driven architecture that AWS offers. You will begin by creating individual Lambda functions that handle specific tasks in your data pipeline.

Building community-first brands ft. Edreece Arghandiwal, CMO & Co-Founder of Oakland Roots SC

In this special episode of The Confident Commit, Rob Zuber sits down with Edreece Arghandiwal, CMO and Co-Founder of Oakland Roots Soccer Club, for an inspiring conversation about building purpose-driven organizations from the ground up. Edreece shares how the Roots challenged traditional sports business models by putting community first, turning a simple question—"Why isn't there professional soccer in Oakland?"—into a movement that raised $3.5 million from 6,000+ community investors with zero paid advertising.

Harness GitOps: Scaling Argo CD with Enterprise-Grade Control

Harness GitOps extends Argo CD by preserving its reconciliation loop while adding governance, audit, and RBAC through the GitOps Agent’s secure connection to Harness SaaS. Teams can choose Harness-managed or bring-your-own Argo CD and scale to multi-cluster fleets with unified dashboards, promotion pipelines, and true rollback, while Git stays the single source of truth.

Build a versatile query agent with RAG, LlamaIndex, and Google Gemini

As a developer, you often face the challenge of retrieving information from multiple sources with different structures. What if you could create a single interface that automatically routes queries to the right data source? Imagine your application needing to answer both “What’s the population of California?” and “What are popular attractions in Hawaii?”.

Audit log streaming for real-time security visibility in your CI/CD pipeline

Security and compliance teams face a critical challenge: by the time they discover suspicious activity in their development pipeline, it’s often too late to prevent damage. Manual audit log requests create bottlenecks that delay incident response, and gaps in visibility leave organizations vulnerable to insider threats and compliance violations. If your team struggles with any of these issues, you need a systematic approach to real-time audit monitoring.

Introducing Chunk: The agent that validates code at AI speed

The software development landscape has fundamentally shifted. Teams are shipping more value faster than ever, leveraging AI to generate code at unprecedented speed. But with this velocity comes equally dramatic complexity — small teams now face challenges that once belonged only to large organizations, while large organizations grapple with codebases that strain human comprehension. This complexity isn’t a bug — it’s a productivity opportunity to embrace.

The real reason your AI initiatives are failing

AI has made it faster and easier to change a codebase than ever before. But in a system as complex and interdependent as modern software delivery, writing code has never been the biggest challenge. For most teams, the real constraint is getting that code safely into production. So while AI assistants and autonomous coding agents have dramatically accelerated the pace of change, for many organizations those changes are piling up against bottlenecks that were already slowing them down.
