Why GitOps for MongoDB Matters: A Case for Harness DB DevOps | Harness Blog
Most development teams today build everything around Git, and deploy with GitOps principles. Code sits in version controlled environments, changes go through PRs, and deployments are handled through modern CI/CD. That part is pretty standard at this point, especially when using a modern DevOps platform like Harness.

Now in Harness DB DevOps: Percona Toolkit for safer MySQL schema changes | Harness Blog
If you've ever run an ALTER TABLE on a busy MySQL table in production, you know the feeling. The change is small. The risk isn't. Long-running table locks, queued writes, application timeouts, replication lag, a five-minute migration that turns into a half-hour incident review. We're shipping an integration that takes that anxiety out of the loop. Harness Database DevOps now supports Percona Toolkit for MySQL as part of Liquibase-based schema management.
Ask Cortex anything, right from Slack
The Monday morning thread. Someone asks who owns checkout-service. Someone else asks what changed in the Production Readiness Scorecard last week. A third person wants to know if the Kubernetes migration is blocking the launch next Thursday. The answers exist. They live in Cortex. But getting them into the thread means someone stops what they're doing, opens a tab, finds the data, and pastes it back. By the time they do, the conversation has moved on.
Misconfigured Alert Detection: Find the Alerts That Need Tuning
Netdata ships with hundreds of stock alerts. They cover a wide range of infrastructure conditions and they’re designed with sensible defaults. But “sensible defaults” and “correct for your environment” are not the same thing. A CPU threshold that’s perfectly reasonable for a build server might generate constant noise on a machine running batch jobs.
Who's on call? How Claude helped us calculate this 2,500x faster
Schedules are a core part of any on-call system. In ours, they define who to page and when. But people use them in lots of other ways too: checking their next shift, asking for cover while at the gym, keeping a Slack user group up to date, or updating a Linear triage responsibility. For many of our customers, they’re one of the main ways they interact with our product, and as they’re such a foundational part of On-call, it’s very important they work well.
Stop watching the looms: why the AI era belongs to infrastructure
I live in Manchester, England now. I moved here from Texas last summer (which is its own story), but the thing I wasn't prepared for is how the Industrial Revolution isn't history here. It's the city itself. And if you're American like me, you might need to hear this: the Industrial Revolution didn't start in the US. It started here. Manchester is where the modern world was born. You see it everywhere. The old cotton mills converted into apartments.
