Why Day 2 Operations Are Harder Than Deployment (And What To Do About It)

Getting your application deployed feels like finishing a race. You push the code, the containers spin up, the health checks go green, and for a brief moment everything feels solved. Then Day 2 arrives. Day 2 is not a specific date. It is the entire operational life of your application after that first successful deployment. It is the stretch of time that can last years, and it is where most teams quietly discover that deployment was the easy part.

How one PM scaled customer discovery with AI

Customer interviews are one of the most powerful ways to build better products — but they’re also time-consuming. In this video, Avinoam “Avi” Zelenko, Principal Product Manager at Atlassian, shares how he transformed the way he runs customer interviews using AI automation and Rovo agents. What used to take hours of coordination, note-taking, and manual summaries now happens automatically. By stitching together the Teamwork Collection and Slack, Avi built a workflow that captures conversations, summarizes insights, and shares them across teams in real time.

The sovereignty debate explained with Nine23

Who really owns your data? Data sovereignty has become one of the defining issues shaping digital infrastructure, cloud strategy and AI adoption.

We wrote the docs

Most security vendors hide their documentation behind a login. Some don’t write it at all. You get a sales page, a demo, and a request to install an agent on your servers, and you’re expected to trust that the thing does what the marketing says. That’s backwards. So we wrote the docs, and we put all of them at certkit.io/docs. No login, no account gate, no “contact us for details.” You can read every page before you create an account.

Real-Time CPU and Memory Insights for Harness CI Cloud Builds | Harness Blog

When a CI pipeline runs on cloud infrastructure, the build machine is ephemeral. It spins up, executes your build, and disappears. During that window, you have zero visibility into how much CPU and memory your pipeline actually consumes. This blind spot creates real problems. Teams over-provision VMs "just in case," wasting compute spend. Others under-provision and deal with silent OOM-kills or CPU throttling — the only clue being a cryptic exit code 137.

What Is Coherent Routing?

Coherent routing, Routed Optical Networking, Converged Optical Routing Architecture (CORA), are all names for the same concept: an advanced network architecture which integrates coherent optical transceivers directly into IP routers. This convergence of layers creates a simplified and highly efficient IP-over-DWDM (IP over Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) network.

Are AI Tools Actually Improving Developer Experience? (Experts Cut Through the Hype)

AI tools are spreading across the entire software development lifecycle - but are they actually making developers more productive, or just adding noise? In this panel from Context Conference, Najla Elmachtoub (Squadformers) moderates a sharp, no-fluff conversation with Nathen Harvey (Google, DORA program), Bill Harding (GitClear), and Jeremy Castile (GitKraken) on what's really working when it comes to AI and developer experience.
