Enforce type safety with TypeScript checks before deployments

TypeScript introduces the benefits of static typing to JavaScript, allowing developers to identify bugs at an earlier stage. However, relying solely on developers to run type checks locally isn’t enough. Without tsc being called, a person can just leave the invalid code and it may pass to production. This tutorial will show you how to set up CircleCI to automatically run the TypeScript type checks on each push.

Rise of the Neocloud: Top 10 Providers and Adoption Trends

With the tech world once again in the midst of a major shift, a new group of contenders has entered the market, offering capabilities the traditional hyperscalers can’t match. Often dubbed "neoclouds", these new providers range from developer-focused platforms to GPU-centric infrastructure clouds. Can these new clouds compete with 100 billion dollar incumbents in a space that's already changing at breakneck speed?

Transform your DevSecOps with Harness AI and Google Cloud

Teams have always been under pressure to deliver software faster. But here's what we've learned from working with thousands of engineering teams: writing the code has never been the real bottleneck. It's everything that happens after - the testing, security scans, deployments, and optimizations that determine whether your innovations actually reach customers quickly and reliably. Even in the era of AI, the speed boost is uneven, creating the AI Velocity Paradox.

Civo AI: Turnkey Privacy, Design & Solving Real Problems

Josh Mesout, Civo’s Chief Innovation Officer, takes the stage to ask the question every UK leader is facing: how do we keep pace with the AI explosion while retaining full data sovereignty? Josh walks through relaxAI – a privacy‑first, turn‑key AI solution that ships as a plug‑and‑play box, runs on the latest NVIDIA B200 hardware, and keeps every byte inside the UK. He also demonstrates the dramatic cost advantage, up to 90 % cheaper than the big‑name models , and shows how a single query can spin into a research‑grade analyst report in seconds.

Why we brought hardware-optimized GenAI inference to Ubuntu

On October 23rd, we announced the beta availability of silicon-optimized AI models in Ubuntu. Developers can locally install DeepSeek R1 and Qwen 2.5 VL with a single command, benefiting from maximized hardware performance and automated dependency management. Application developers can access the local API of a quantized generative AI (GenAI) model with runtime optimizations for efficient performance on their CPU, GPU, or NPU.
