The Atlassian Rovo MCP Server now supports Bitbucket Cloud

The Atlassian Rovo Model Context Protocol MCP Server now supports Bitbucket Cloud. AI clients like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and VS Code can now browse repositories, create commits, open pull requests, and check pipeline results, all through the same secure MCP connection that already works with Jira and Confluence.

Why Autonomous AI Agents Can't Run on SaaS Infrastructure

The era of the “copilot” is ending. We are moving rapidly toward the era of the autonomous software factory, where autonomous agents don’t just autocomplete our code—they investigate, plan, test, and merge entire features while we sleep. But this shift has exposed a critical flaw in how we consume AI. For the past decade, the default motion for enterprise software has been SaaS. It’s easy, frictionless, and managed by someone else.

Using Open Policy Agent (OPA) with Terraform: Tutorial and Examples [2026]

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solves the provisioning problem. It doesn't solve the governance problem. You can version your Terraform configuration, run it in a pipeline, review every pull request — and still deploy an S3 bucket with public access, a VM with no encryption, or a resource that exceeds your cost budget. Nothing in the standard IaC workflow checks for those things. The reviewer has to know what to look for. And they won't catch it every time. Policy as Code changes that.

Deterministic by Design: How Harness Grounds AI Agents in Structured Data | Harness Blog

When AI agents operate across a multi-module platform like Harness (from CI/CD to DevSecOps to FinOps), the number one goal is to give you answers that are correct, consistent, and grounded in real data. Getting there requires a deliberate architectural choice: when a question can be answered from structured platform data, the agent should use a schema-driven Knowledge Graph rather than raw API calls via MCP. The principle is simple: if the data is modeled, retrieval should be deterministic.

Phil Christianson on Balancing Innovation and Reliability in Modern Product Teams | Harness Blog

At SREday NYC 2026, the ShipTalk podcast spoke with Phil Christianson, Chief Product Officer at Xurrent, for a leadership perspective on the intersection of product strategy, engineering investment, and platform reliability. While many of the conversations at the conference focused on tools, automation, and incident response, Phil offered a view from the C-suite level, where decisions about engineering priorities and R&D investment ultimately shape how reliability practices evolve.

Kosli and Adaptavist Partner to Automate Governance for AI driven Software Delivery

Today, Kosli and Adaptavist announce a strategic partnership to help regulated enterprises automate governance for AI driven software delivery - making it automated, continuous, and evidence-driven rather than a manual checkpoint that sits apart from DevOps and CI/CD. Adaptavist brings deep enterprise DevOps transformation expertise: assessment and strategy, DevSecOps integration, developer experience, and implementation across Atlassian, GitLab, and AWS.

How to Catch AI Code Mistakes Before They Reach Production

AI can write code fast, but it makes mistakes humans often don't. In this session from Ole Lensmar, CTO of Testkube, breaks down the real quality risks of AI-generated code and how engineering teams can build guardrails before those bugs hit production. What you'll learn: Common mistakes LLMs make (and which ones are unique to AI) Whether you're a developer leaning on AI to ship faster or a QA lead trying to keep up with the pace of AI-generated code, this talk gives you a practical framework for staying ahead of quality issues.

7 reasons Civo's UK sovereign cloud secures regulated workloads

Sovereignty is one of those words that gets stretched until it means almost nothing. Vendors apply it to any infrastructure with a UK data center, regardless of who owns the parent company or which jurisdiction's courts govern the contract. For a developer running a personal project, that ambiguity is probably fine. For a fintech under FCA oversight, an NHS trust processing patient data, or a legal firm handling privileged communications, it isn't.
