EVOLVE 2026 Recap: Operational Excellence for the AI-Native SDLC

Last week we hosted our annual conference, EVOLVE, where global engineering leaders came to talk through the realities of building AI-native SDLCs. When asked to name the biggest friction point in their software lifecycle, attendees gave telling answers: ‘reviewing changes’ took 36 percent, ‘measuring impact’ took 35, and ‘building’ drew zero votes.

Building Investigations: what it takes to build an AI SRE

At incident.io, we've spent the last two years building Investigations, our AI SRE. When you get paged, it starts investigating straight away, looking across your telemetry, recent deploys, past incidents, docs and code, and posts what it's found in your incident channel (or on your phone, if it's 2am and you're still deciding whether you need to get out of bed). By the time you open your laptop, you're starting at step six of triage rather than step one.

Cycle's Hosted MCP Release Announcement

We are stoked to announce that we have released our very own hosted MCP that allows you to use natural language to interact with and control anything you have running on Cycle.io.

Monitor warehouse data quality beyond pipeline health

You get a Slack message from the VP of Sales: They have asked an AI agent connected to Snowflake for the past quarter’s revenue and the numbers look wrong. First, you verify the agent’s query and, when that looks fine, check the pipelines that populate the underlying table. All jobs completed, the data is recently refreshed. Then it’s time to check the logs for errors. Nothing.

Android belongs in your CI/CD pipeline

How on-demand Android environments turn validation into a repeatable pipeline stage In the first article, we looked at automation: how Android environments can be created and managed programmatically. In the second, we looked at scaling: how shared infrastructure can make those environments available to more developers, tests, and workloads. This third article looks at the next step: integrating those environments directly into CI/CD.
