Heroku vs. Kubernetes

If you are deciding where to deploy a web app, you will almost always run into a choice between a platform like Heroku and running on Kubernetes. This article will compare Heroku and Kubernetes. They are two popular platforms for deploying and managing applications. This article breaks down the key differences in architecture, use cases, complexity, cost, and scalability to help engineers choose the right go-to platform for their needs.

Leading Open Source Teams w/ Daniel Roe

In this episode, Daniel Roe, Lead Maintainer of the Nuxt framework, discusses his journey from studying law and theology to leading a major open-source framework. He explains Nuxt's unique governance and how Nuxt manages contributions through volunteer-driven work, LLM-powered issue triage, and creating welcoming spaces for newcomers to open source. This week, our chat touches on a variety of topics including.

Why Release Control Takes Weeks

The industry standard for release control is painfully manual: long-form policy documents, ServiceNow forms, human approvals, meetings, and tickets that take days or even weeks to close. In this video, Mike Long (CEO & Co-founder, Kosli) explains the difference between manual release control and an automated, zero-trust model where evidence is collected automatically, provenance identifies the artifact, and approvals can be fully codified.

Harness Database DevOps Now Supports Google AlloyDB

Harness Database DevOps now natively supports Google AlloyDB, enabling enterprises to manage PostgreSQL-compatible schema changes with CI/CD, GitOps, and policy-driven governance. Teams gain faster, safer, and fully auditable database delivery while reducing operational risk and manual overhead across environments. As organizations double down on cloud modernization, Google Cloud’s AlloyDB for PostgreSQL is quickly becoming the preferred engine for mission-critical applications.

Evidence as an Input

Evidence isn’t something you produce at the end — it’s something every control generates for the next one. In this video, Mike Long (CEO & Co-founder, Kosli) explains how vulnerability scans produce evidence tied to the artifact fingerprint and the policy file used, and how that evidence becomes an input to downstream controls like release approvals. This is the core of reusable, continuous compliance.

How the Best IT Help Desk Automation Gives Tickets the Context They Should've Had All Along

IT help desk automation has evolved far beyond scripts and workflow triggers. It refers to intelligent, agentic systems that enrich, triage, diagnose, and recommend or execute actions before a human ever touches the ticket. Modern automation gathers the context engineers normally have to hunt for and presents issues as decision-ready cases. In IT, we love predicting the end of things: data centers, passwords, and yes, tickets. Zero Ticket IT often gets misunderstood in that same category.

AI adoption is messy. Here's how engineering leaders are taming the chaos.

There's a moment every engineering leader hits when implementing AI where they realize that no one really knows what they're doing. Not your competitors. Not the consultants. Not even the executives pressuring you to show results yesterday. Everyone is figuring this out in real time, and beneath the confident vendor pitches and LinkedIn thought leadership, the truth is messier than anyone wants to admit.
