Enforce your team's database standards automatically with Custom Policy Checks in Redgate Flyway Enterprise
Every engineering team has a list of “things we don’t do”. No TRUNCATE TABLE in production. Every audit table must end in _audit. Foreign keys follow a naming convention. But until now, enforcing those standards has meant relying on pull request checklists, tribal knowledge, or a separate linting tool bolted onto the pipeline.

AI Agent Governance: The Missing Piece of Autonomous IT
AI agents are making decisions, accessing systems, and resolving issues autonomously. But as organizations deploy more agents, one challenge becomes impossible to ignore: governance. Who has access? What changed? Who is accountable? The future of Autonomous IT requires autonomy with accountability.
A package manager for AI assets (and why the lock file is per-user)
Sometime in the last two years your repos quietly filled up with a new category of file. Not code, not config exactly: prompts. A.claude/skills/ directory here. A.cursor/rules/ folder there. A CLAUDE.md at the root, an AGENTS.md next to it, a.mcp.json listing the servers your agent is allowed to call. These are the things that make a coding agent useful on your codebase, and they're sprawling.

This question has become increasingly common in recent years. In this talk, Bryan provides a safety integrity qualification approach for Linux. It is composed of Linux Kernel, user space libraries (like libc) and user-space components (like init processes), up to ASIL B according to ISO 26262:2018.
Agentic validation needs different infrastructure
Previously, I described some core approaches to validating agent written code: feedforward and feedback techniques. Feedforward techniques are about avoiding errors up front, for example by coming up with better prompts and planning strategies. Feedback gives agents a signal that they have actually achieved a task. Feedback is a key part of common agentic patterns like Ralph loops or the /goal commands in Codex and Claude Code: keep working until some known condition passes.
