Why Mandating AI Tools Backfires on Engineering Teams

Responsible AI adoption for engineering teams starts with culture, not compliance. In this GitKon talk, Rizel Scarlett (Tech Lead of Open Source DevRel at Block) shares how Block helped thousands of engineers actually want to use AI tools, including Goose, Cursor, Claude Code, and more, without mandates, vibe coding disasters, or security gaps.

Rootly's Dan Sadler: why AI coding tools are driving more incidents + why reliability is the product

Cortex co-founder and CTO Ganesh Datta sits down with Dan Sadler, VP of Engineering at Rootly. Dan explains how Rootly treats reliability as a product feature rather than just a technical metric, and why culture might be the most impactful element of building reliable systems.

Professional Data Connectivity: Top Airtable ODBC Drivers for 2026

For businesses that need to bridge the gap between Airtable's cloud-based flexibility and the analytical power of tools like SQL Server, Power BI, or Excel, a professional ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) driver is a fundamental requirement. Selecting a high-performance driver ensures that your Airtable "bases" are treated like a traditional relational database, providing a structured SQL layer over your CRM and project data.

What Is LLM Observability? For CFOs And Engineers, The Missing Layer Is Cost

You probably have Datadog. Maybe New Relic, maybe Dynatrace. Your observability stack has been solid for years — and you're still flying blind on AI cost. Here's why LLM observability needs a fourth pillar most tools skip, and how to build one that actually tells you what your models are costing you per request, per feature, per customer.

Blind Tokenmaxxing Is The New Cloud Waste. Focus on Outcome-Maxxing Instead

Meta's internal token leaderboard sparked a frenzy — and a reckoning. Tokenmaxxing without attribution is just cloud waste 2.0. Companies like Hudl and Duolingo use cost intelligence to connect every AI dollar to a business outcome.

Announcing Kosli's brand new docs

Good docs are how developers work with a product, from first look to daily use. That’s been true for a long time, and it’s becoming more true as developers increasingly hand that work to agents on their behalf. During the last quarter, we’ve been migrating docs.kosli.com from a static Hugo site to Mintlify, and now it’s finally live. Early reactions from our customers: “A marked improvement over the old docs in layout and usability.” “Looking sharp!”

An Introduction to Disaster Recovery Testing: What You Need to Know in 2026 | Harness Blog

Businesses today run on computers, cloud systems, and digital tools. One big failure can stop everything. A cyber attack, a power outage, or a software glitch can shut down operations for hours or days. Disaster recovery testing is how you prove you can restore critical services when the unexpected happens. 
 In 2026, with hybrid and multi-cloud estates, distributed data, and tighter oversight, this is not a once-a-year fire drill.

How to Install Terraform for Secure and Scalable Infrastructure Automation | Harness Blog

If your Terraform install is insecure or inconsistent, it can quickly slow down your delivery. A single compromised file or a misconfigured backend can stop deployments for many services. Teams that set up Terraform correctly from the start can scale easily and avoid compliance issues.

Beyond the Big Bang: De-risking Cloud Migrations with Progressive Delivery | Harness Blog

At 2 am, your migration goes live. By 2:07, error rates spike, and rollback isn’t an option. Cloud migrations, API rewrites, and architecture transformations rarely fail because of bad code. They fail because of how that code is released. Most teams still rely on a “big bang” cutover where infrastructure, services, and user-facing changes go live at once. This concentrates risk into a single moment.

Geopatriation in India: Why data residency is a boardroom illusion

In 2026, a new term has infiltrated Indian boardroom discussions: Geopatriation. Coined by Gartner as a top strategic technology trend for 2026, geopatriation is the deliberate relocation of workloads and applications from global cloud hyperscalers to regional or sovereign alternatives in response to geopolitical risk. While the previous decade was defined by a cloud-first approach, the current landscape is defined by the need for sovereignty.
