Make SBOM generation a build step, not a compliance project

Compliance work that lives outside the build pipeline becomes developer friction – and friction kills adoption. The simpler fix is to make SBOM generation a standard pipeline step via a reusable template, with output routed automatically to central storage and surfaced to the teams who need it. When developers can see their own license issues and vulnerability exposure without filing a ticket, compliance stops being a tax and starts being a byproduct of shipping.

Apple Container Machine: A Persistent Linux VM Inside macOS

A year ago, at WWDC 2025, Apple open-sourced container — a Swift-based CLI for running Linux containers on macOS, built on the Containerization framework and Apple's Virtualization.framework. The Apple container model is genuinely different from Docker Desktop's single shared Linux VM: every container gets its own lightweight VM. It matured out of preview and shipped its first stable 1.0.0 release on June 9, 2026.

How Zendesk ditched 15 years of patchwork tooling, in 10 weeks

Zendesk replaced 15 years of homegrown incident tooling and PagerDuty by migrating 1,200 engineers across 150 teams onto incident.io in just 10 weeks, cutting mean time to triage by 32%, saving $500k+ in year one, and eliminating 800+ hours of annual toil, with zero incidents on go-live day. Tom Monaghan (VP of Engineering Productivity & Product Reliability) and Anna Roussanova (Engineering Manager) share how they pulled it off and what's next as Zendesk helps build Investigations, our AI agent that starts digging into incidents the moment an alert fires.

DORA measures delivery. DRIVE measures the organization behind it.

You can hit every DORA target and still be losing ground. Deploy frequency up, lead time down, change failure rate and MTTR both healthy, but underneath it could be hiding an organization slowly getting worse at turning work into reliable software. New services shipping without clear owners, an attack surface widening faster than anyone is tracking, on-call rotations quietly filling up, a migration that was supposed to close last quarter still limping along.
