7 best AI deployment platforms for production Kubernetes workloads in 2026

Apr 30, 2026 By Mélanie Dallé In Qovery
Training a model in a notebook is easy. What breaks teams is the step after, serving it reliably without haemorrhaging cloud budget or burying your SREs in YAML. The common trap: picking a platform that handles the model but not the surrounding stack. An AI deployment platform should orchestrate the full application graph (inference endpoints, vector databases, caching layers, and frontends) inside a single VPC, with GPU autoscaling that doesn't require a dedicated platform engineer to babysit.

How to Test SQS Workflows Locally with LocalStack and OpenTelemetry

Apr 30, 2026 By Prathamesh Sonpatki In Last9
LocalStack lets you run SQS, Lambda, and S3 locally in Docker — but there's a hidden trap: OpenTelemetry's default AWS propagator doesn't work with free LocalStack. Here's how to set up end-to-end local testing with working trace propagation. Prathamesh works as an evangelist at Last9, runs SRE stories - where SRE and DevOps folks share their stories, and maintains o11y.wiki - a glossary of all terms related to observability.

Four types of incident alerts every team should know

Apr 30, 2026 By Sreekar In Spike
Not every incident alert needs the same kind of response. One incident may need to wake someone up right away. Another may simply need to be picked up when the team starts work in the morning. Without a clear way to tell them apart, every incident feels equally urgent. That usually adds noise and makes incident response decisions harder than they need to be. This is where two questions help: In this guide, we’ll discuss what those questions mean and the four combinations that follow.

AI writes the code. Who delivers it safely? | Harness Blog

Apr 30, 2026 By Jyoti Bansal In Harness
The question for enterprise AI in 2026 is no longer just which model. It’s which harness. An agent harness is the system around the model. It decides what the agent remembers, what context it sees, what tools it can call, what it is allowed to do, and what happens when it is wrong. The model provides intelligence. The harness provides control. This is where the real engineering is happening.

The cloud optionality blueprint: standardizing the stack to end vendor lock-in

Apr 30, 2026 By Upsun In Upsun
Key takeaway: Real cloud strategy isn't about running the same workload everywhere at once; it’s about the freedom to move when you need to. By standardizing the unified configuration file, Upsun enables true cloud optionality, moving provider migration from a re-architect project to a data move project.
