Why Mocks Fail at Scale #softwareengineering #devops #softwaretesting #api #aicoding

Sep 15, 2026 By Speedscale In Speedscale
Mocking for testing starts off easy, but once you scale to multiple teams and AI agents, handcrafted mocks become a serious form of technical liability. Instead of treating mocking as an individual software engineering task, shift your mindset to treat it as a platform engineering task focused on automation and continuously refreshed modern data. Watch to see how adopting technologies like traffic replay to simulate realistic backend sandboxes can transform your modern testing workflow!

From a $60K invoice to a $200B earnings call, few can explain the AI bill

Sep 15, 2026 By Keith MacKenzie In CloudZero
CloudZero’s own AI Economics Pulse for September found the 75th percentile of its 430-company customer panel crossed 10% of its cloud bill on AI for the first time in August. Gartner’s latest survey found only 22% of organizations have scaled AI successfully and 11% don’t know what their own function spent on it last year. CJ Gustafson showed what that gap looks like on an actual invoice this week.

150+ AI statistics for 2026: spend, cost, and AI ROI

Sep 15, 2026 By Lyne Carolyne In CloudZero
Worldwide AI spending will reach $2.59 trillion in 2026, up 47% from 2025, according to Gartner. Yet only 37% of organizations report any earnings impact from AI, McKinsey finds. These AI statistics cover what companies spend, what AI costs to run, and the ROI they're actually getting. That gap between the two headline numbers is the story of AI in 2026.

Service Desk vs. Help Desk: What's the Difference (and Where Does ITSM Fit In)?

Sep 15, 2026 By Zack Austin In Resolve
A help desk is the front-line function that receives user issues and requests, records them, provides basic troubleshooting, and routes unresolved work to the appropriate specialist. Its goal is to restore user productivity quickly. Typical help desk activities include: The work is usually tactical and reactive. A user cannot connect, open an application, or complete a task, so the help desk responds.

eBPF: Correlating rustls Plaintext to TCP Connections Without a File Descriptor

Sep 14, 2026 By Shaun Duncan In Speedscale
In Under the Hood with Go TLS and eBPF, I left socket tracking as an exercise for later. The example used bpf_get_current_pid_tgid() and explicitly excluded concurrent TLS operations. Capturing plaintext was enough for that post. With rustls, later arrived: I could read the HTTP payload perfectly and still attach it to the wrong TCP connection. That’s a frustratingly convincing failure. The request looks right. The response looks right. The application works.

Cloud Migration Strategies, the 6 Rs, and How to Avoid Getting Stuck Mid-Move

Sep 14, 2026 By Aykut Bulgu In Control Plane
Consider a platform team that spends four months building a thorough migration plan. Its pilot, a stateless order-status API, runs on AWS within three weeks. Six months later, that API is still the only workload in the cloud. In this scenario, the blockers are not exotic technical failures.

You Can Have Your Pi and Kepler It Too

Sep 14, 2026 By Chris Griffing In GitKraken
One of the features I have been wanting in Kepler for a long time was the ability to use Pi as my agent when spinning up tasks. Pi is such a minimal harness that it doesn’t prompt for approval for every little thing and it’s system prompt let’s the model just be itself. That minimalism comes at a cost, though. Pi doesn’t have ACP support out of the box, so that means we haven’t been able to officially support it in Kepler, yet.
