The infrastructure work you should not have to touch just to ship a feature

Aug 19, 2026 By Upsun In Upsun
You wrote the feature. It works locally. Then you spend the next two hours on things that have nothing to do with the feature: a Terraform plan that wants to replace a database you didn't touch, a Kubernetes manifest that needs a new ingress rule, an IAM policy that's one permission short of what the deploy needs. None of this is the job. All of it is the job today. Here's what that list actually looks like, and why none of it should be sitting on your plate.

You Vibe Coded an App...Now What?

Aug 19, 2026 By Control Plane Corporation In Control Plane
"Hey, I built this over the weekend. I want to get it in front of customers." And it always hits architecture, security, and infrastructure. Ross Hendrickson, CTO at Inspectiv, calls that gap the chasm. His team crosses it on Control Plane: AI-written code secured, reviewed, and released in a day. Control Plane combines AWS, GCP, Azure and your own hardware into one virtual cloud shaped to your workloads.

Token budgets: capping AI agent and LLM spend

Aug 19, 2026 By Doug Bonderud In CloudZero
AI costs are changing. As noted by research from EY, outputs that cost just $0.04 in 2023 now cost $1.20, a 30x increase over just three years. It’s worth noting that task operations and complexity have also changed. In 2023, the process was simple. Users input a question, retrieval engines found relevant data, and AI models returned a response. Today, many tasks are handled by orchestrated AI agents capable of much more complex reasoning and analysis.

Shipped: A changelog that keeps up with how fast we ship

Aug 19, 2026 By Kaitlin Woo In CloudZero
When the changelog doesn’t keep pace with the product, two things can happen. One, you keep working around something that was already fixed weeks ago. Or two, a behavior changes, you assume it’s a bug, and you spend an afternoon on triage and a support ticket before learning it was an intentional improvement. CloudZero now ships around 30 improvements a week, a pace driven by the Next Gen Platform and the AI-first approach we’re building for our customers.

The Waiting Game for Data Centre Capacity (And How UK Businesses Can Beat It)

The Waiting Game for Data Centre Capacity (And How UK Businesses Can Beat It)

Aug 18, 2026 By Pulsant In Pulsant
UK data centre occupancy hit 91% in 2024, according to Arizton market data, and new capacity is not arriving fast enough to close the gap. Grid connection wait times for new projects now run between five and 15 years, reports Data Center Dynamics, and Savills has attributed the 11% year-on-year drop in new capacity delivery to power constraints rather than a lack of demand or investment. Rising wholesale energy costs are addingpressure to an already tight market.

Shipped: Personalized cost access, powered by SSO

Aug 18, 2026 By Kaitlin Woo In CloudZero
Instead of building a separate role for every team, region, or department, admins can create a single role that automatically personalizes access for each user based on their SSO attributes. Someone moves teams or a new group gets created, and the new access takes effect at their next login with no CloudZero configuration. As AI spend grows, more companies are looking to give teams visibility into their own AI costs without exposing every individual’s usage across the org.

What build-versus-buy actually looks like in agentic engineering

Aug 18, 2026 By Upsun In Upsun
Most build-versus-buy debates assume you're choosing once, at the start, and living with it. Agentic engineering doesn't work that way. The decision shows up at every layer of the stack, and the teams getting it right aren't the ones who picked "build" or "buy" as a philosophy. They're the ones who know which layer is which.

Trace AWS Lambda durable functions with Datadog

Aug 18, 2026 By Datadog In Datadog
AWS Lambda durable functions let you build long-running, multi-step workflows for use cases such as payment processing, order fulfillment, and AI workflows with human approval. A single durable execution can pause for a wait or callback, retry failed work, and resume in a fresh Lambda invocation without losing its state. The strong resilience provided by durable executions, however, creates an observability challenge because each invocation produces its own telemetry data.
