Detecting Data Masking Gaps in a CI Pipeline | The Tony and Tonie show Ep46

Your schema changed. Did your masking rules keep up? Here’s how Flyway and Test Data Manager can catch gaps and prevent PII exposure in dev and test. Tony and Tonie discuss how Flyway and Redgate Test Data Manager can work together in a CI pipeline to detect schema changes that introduce unmasked sensitive columns, helping teams keep production-derived test data protected as the database evolves.

AI inference vs. training: What they are and how they differ

AI inference and training are terms you'd run into if you have been around software engineering or even just scrolled through the news. Both are integral to delivering the AI-powered experiences we have come to expect from many of the applications we use daily. According to McKinsey, by 2030 inference will overtake training as the dominant workload in AI data centers, making up more than half of all AI compute and roughly 30-40% of total data center demand.

Megaport Storage Marks the Next Step Toward Automated Infrastructure at Scale

Built as a globally distributed storage platform integrated directly into the Megaport backbone and co-located with Latitude.sh compute infrastructure, Megaport Storage simplifies how organizations store, move, and access data across distributed environments with a unified infrastructure experience spanning compute, network, and storage. For years, enterprise infrastructure has moved toward abstraction. Compute became elastic. Networks became software-defined.

What is Azure Cost Management? Complete Beginner's Guide (2026)

What is Azure Cost Management and how can it help you control cloud spending? In this complete beginner's guide, Michael Stephenson explains the fundamentals of Azure Cost Management and walks through the core features available in Azure. You'll learn how Azure organizes billing accounts, subscriptions, resource groups, and management groups, and how these structures affect cost tracking and reporting.

Running AI at Enterprise Scale w/ Anthropic, Descope, Port, Rootly and Twingate

The debate about whether AI can write production code is over. Companies are handing work to fleets of agents, and for many, they write most of the code that ships to production. The next challenge is everything that happens once an entire engineering organization runs this way, at full speed. Teams that generate code 10x faster still review it at human speed, and that mismatch is now the constraint. Code ownership is also becoming an issue, as developers learn to trust agentic processes a little too much. When an agent breaks production, who is responsible?

How to ship a POC in an afternoon: a Claude Code and Upsun walkthrough for product and product marketing

I have an Upsun project that's nothing but proofs of concept. It's a dashboard, basically. Each POC gets its own tile. Click in, and you land on a page with three tabs. The first tab is a written explanation of what the POC argues. The second tab is the POC itself, with a built-in demo that automates a walkthrough of the feature so the recipient can watch it run without me on the call.

Get Ship Done: Everything We Shipped in May 2026 | Harness Blog

AI coding tools promise faster development. What they don't show you is the queue forming at the pipeline, the security scanner you bypassed to stay fast, or the cost dashboard with a line now labeled "unknown" that is steadily growing. In May, we shipped 60+ features in 31 days across the entire delivery system: not just the editor, but everything downstream of it.

Best APM for Small Teams Without Dedicated DevOps in 2026

You don’t have an SRE. There’s no platform team. Your “monitoring strategy” is someone checking Slack for error alerts. When production breaks, the same two or three senior devs drop everything to debug. Sound familiar? Most APM tools are built for organizations with dedicated operations staff. They assume someone has time to configure dashboards, tune alert thresholds, and learn a complex query language. That person does not exist on your team.
