Could AI Turn Back The Clock On IT Departments?

I recently wrote about the impending SaaS crisis, driven by companies’ newfound ability to use AI to build software they used to have to buy. I predicted this phenomenon would make it even harder for SaaS vendors to drive growth, and that elite SaaS margins would fall from the mid-70s to the mid-60s as companies leaned more into their data and AI.

Implementing image recognition with React and continuous deployment

Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into web applications can significantly enhance user experience. AI offers features like image recognition to process and analyze user-uploaded images. Combining this with a robust continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline using CircleCI ensures seamless updates and reliable delivery. In this article, you will learn how to build a React app that uses TensorFlow.js for client-side image recognition and set up automated testing with CircleCI.

The future of IDPs in an AI-first world

Over the last few months, I’ve had countless conversations with my peers about one topic: the rise of AI coding assistants. I know this isn’t exactly breaking news, and I’m sure you’ve had these conversations as well. But there’s a reason the common coffee chat today is 10 percent small talk and 90 percent about the AI-first world that we live in. Tools like GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and Devin are fundamentally changing how we write software.

Expanding Your Infrastructure Automation Across the Lifecycle Using Puppet Edge

Infrastructure automation is evolving… and so is Puppet! While Puppet has long been known for its strength in Day 2 operations through agent-based desired state configuration, Puppet also extends across Day 0 and Day 1 tasks. With Puppet Edge, you can target network devices alongside your existing infrastructure, enabling your teams to manage more scenarios, more devices, and more workflows. All from a single platform.

Onboarding with Cortex

Onboarding to Cortex has never been easier. In this video, discover how Cortex and Magellan, our AI-powered data engine, make it possible to go from a blank slate to a fully functional internal developer portal in just minutes, not months. What you’ll learn in this video: With Cortex, you can skip manual setup and start exploring your connected engineering ecosystem immediately. From day one, you’ll have visibility into services, ownership, and metrics, empowering your teams to drive standards and deliver value faster.

A 5-step enterprise guide to IaCM

As enterprises scale, Infrastructure as Code (IaC) alone isn’t enough to manage the growing complexity of modern infrastructure. Infrastructure as Code Management (IaCM) elevates IaC into a strategic, governed, and automated framework, providing centralized control, compliance, and collaboration at scale. Platforms like Harness IaCM make this transformation practical, turning infrastructure chaos into consistent, secure, and efficient operations.

Cloud vs Colocation: strategic infrastructure choices for long-term value

Organisations are no longer limited to running everything in-house. The real question is where different workloads should sit to deliver the best long-term results. For many, that means weighing up cloud vs colocation. Both offer advantages over traditional infrastructure but serve different aims. Cloud makes it simple to scale and launch new services, while colocation provides predictable costs, direct control, and stronger assurance for compliance.

The DIY Warning | Unlocking SD-WAN's True Role in Your Digital Transformation

Thinking about a DIY SD-WAN? Before you do, consider the hidden costs: 24/7 operational overhead, evolving security threats, and complex compliance regulations. In this clip, our experts break down why many enterprises are choosing managed SD-WAN services to avoid these pitfalls and focus on innovation instead of firefighting. Is your network truly secure and scalable?
