(Tech Talk) Shipping with Context Knowledge Graphs as the Backbone of AI-First Software Delivery

Feb 5, 2026 By Harness In Harness
Knowledge graphs are essential to solving the context bottleneck in AI-First software delivery, which occurs because workflows, policies, and dependencies are siloed and invisible to AI agents. In this Tech Talk, Prateek Mittal ((Product Director of AI Core and Data Platform at Harness)) discusses the key concepts: Knowledge Graphs vs. Observability: Observability tells you "what is happening," while knowledge graphs tell you "what does that mean" by modeling structured relationships. They work together to link live signals to affected services or SLAs.

We Built an MCP Server

Feb 5, 2026 By Kubex In Densify
When I joined Kubex last year, the company was already well aware of the growing power of Large Language Models. As a company focused on intelligent resource optimization for Kubernetes, GPUs, and cloud infrastructure, generative AI didn’t feel like a threat so much as a natural extension of where the industry was heading. Kubex had already invested heavily in machine learning, but it was becoming clear that foundation models could unlock an entirely new class of capabilities for our customers.

How Dartmouth avoided vendor lock-in and implemented LBaaS with HAProxy One

Feb 5, 2026 By Daniel Skrba In HAProxy
History is everywhere at Dartmouth College, and while the campus is steeped in tradition, its IT infrastructure can’t afford to get stuck in the past. In an institution where world-class research and undergraduate studies intersect, technology must be fast, invisible, and – above all – reliable. That reliability was put to the test when Dartmouth’s load balancing vendor was acquired twice in five years, as Avi Networks moved to VMware and VMware moved to Broadcom.

The AI-Empowered Site Reliability Engineer: Automating the Balance of Risk and Velocity

Feb 5, 2026 By Udi Hofesh In Komodor
You might expect an AI-SRE agent to target 100% reliable services, ones that never fail. It turns out that past a certain point, however, increasing reliability is worse for a service (and its users) rather than better! Extreme reliability comes at a non-linear cost: maximizing stability limits how fast new features can be developed, dramatically increases the operational cost, and reduces the features a team can afford to offer.

Helping Businesses Manage Blocked Calls: How SIP 603+ improves transparency in troubleshooting Call Failures

Feb 5, 2026 By Tirthankar Pal In Ribbon
Imagine pulling up to a gas pump, inserting your credit card, and having the display on the pump say “denied”. You call your credit card company, and they say, “Oh, we don’t know, maybe it’s the merchant’s fault, or the card reader is bad…, we can look into it and get back to you in a few weeks.” Most of us would be pretty upset with that response.
