AI coding agents are moving the software bottleneck from writing code to validating it. Here’s what that means for CI infrastructure, capacity planning, and software quality. This topic is explored in more detail in “CI Can’t Keep Up With AI,” an episode of Uplink, where Aditya “JP” Jayaprakash, Co-founder and CEO of Blacksmith, discusses how AI coding agents are reshaping CI and software delivery.

Without Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) monitoring, your digital experience monitoring (DEM) stack can't detect the route hijacks, leaks, or instability that prevent users from reaching your applications. Most DEM stacks miss this entirely, and that gap is where some of the most damaging, hardest-to-diagnose outages happen.

Coherent optics is an advanced optical transmission technology that uses the modulation of light amplitude and phase, combined with digital signal processing, to transmit massive amounts of data over existing fiber optic cables, dramatically increasing network capacity by maximizing spectral efficiency without requiring new physical fiber deployments. Next-generation transport networks face a constant challenge: scaling capacity to keep up with relentless data growth.

A Session Border Controller (SBC) is the gatekeeper for modern real-time communications. It's not just a network device. It is a core component of your security, interoperability, and service quality strategy. An SBC secures the boundary between your enterprise network and the outside world, protecting against threats, enabling connectivity between disparate systems, and managing traffic to deliver a high-quality user experience. Think of it as a firewall optimized for voice communications.

Bring network provisioning into your workflow with Megaport CLI, built for repeatable changes from the terminal, scripts, and CI/CD pipelines. When everything runs through a pipeline, changes are reviewable, repeatable, and consistent from staging to production. Your application code ships that way. Your cloud resources provision that way. Then you need a Megaport connection. So you open the Portal, and step outside the pipeline.
