Why DR Testing Can No Longer Be an Afterthought | Harness Blog

Apr 10, 2026 By Uma Mukkara In Harness
Regular DR testing is no longer a compliance checkbox — it is a critical engineering discipline that determines whether an organisation can survive a real cloud outage with its services and revenue intact. As the AWS Middle East incident demonstrated, regional cloud failures can strike without warning and defeat standard redundancy models, making untested DR plans dangerously unreliable.

From One Month to One Day: How CloudZero Builds Cloud Cost Connectors at the Speed of AI Adoption

Apr 10, 2026 By Thomas Evans In CloudZero
Not long ago, adding a new cost connector to CloudZero was a serious undertaking. We’d task multiple engineers, build in extended review cycles, run a private preview period. But a single connector could take up to two months from kickoff to customer hands. For the major cloud providers, that timeline was acceptable. The size of the investment matched the scale of the integration. But the tools landscape has changed. Our customers’ teams don’t just run on AWS and Azure.

When Your Observability Literally Stops Traffic

Apr 9, 2026 By Alan Mon In Speedscale
Last week, a fleet of autonomous robotaxis in China suddenly stopped working—at scale. Over a hundred vehicles stalled across a city, stranding passengers in traffic and raising immediate concerns about safety, reliability, and trust in autonomous systems. This wasn’t just a bad day for self-driving cars. It was a distributed systems failure, one that happened in the physical world, not just in dashboards.

OpenTelemetry Trace Testing for CI Release Gates

Apr 9, 2026 By Kush Mansingh In Speedscale
OpenTelemetry is great at answering one question: “what just broke?” The problem is that most teams need a different answer first: “what is about to break in this release?” That is where trace-based testing comes in, especially for teams running a vendor-neutral OTel stack (Collector + Tempo/Jaeger + Prometheus) and needing deterministic release gates.

Peak traffic without the panic: auto-scaling infrastructure for ecommerce flash sales

Apr 9, 2026 By Upsun In Upsun
Key takeaway: Upsun replaces manual, high-stress peak traffic prep with automatic scaling, keeping your e-commerce site fast and available during flash sales while you only pay for the resources you consume. For every e-commerce team, an outage means lost revenue, failed checkouts, and a flood of support tickets. For most stores, this gets worse during peak events like Black Friday and flash sales.

RalphCI: The Self-Healing AI Coding Loop That Automatically Fixes CI Failures

Apr 9, 2026 By CircleCI In CircleCI
RalphCI is an open-source, CI-enabled agentic coding loop built by the Loop Lab at CircleCI. You write a spec, and the agent breaks it down into tasks, builds your application step by step, commits to GitHub, and runs your full CI pipeline on every iteration. If anything fails—linting, tests, security scans, missing files—a CI Doctor sub-agent detects the failure, reads the stack trace, and fixes it automatically. In this video, Ryan Hamilton demos RalphCI by building a classic Snake game end-to-end with zero manual coding.
