Inside the architecture: How Upsun delivers 99.99% uptime for AI

For a CTO, "four nines" represents a commitment to keeping production revenue live with less than 0.01% of total downtime per year. As AI workloads move from pilot projects into core production services, the reliability requirements for infrastructure have shifted. AI agents, RAG pipelines, and automated LLM workflows depend on a consistent platform state.

Stop Vibe Coding Everything: The Case for Spec-Driven Dev

Spec-driven development with AI coding agents could change how you build software. In this GitKon 2025 talk, Erik Hanchett, Senior Developer Advocate at AWS, breaks down why AI coding assistants perform dramatically better when they start with structured specifications instead of raw prompts. If you've been vibe coding your way through complex features and wondering why your AI keeps going off the rails, this is the video for you.

Millions of Metrics. Zero Clarity.

Millions of metrics. Zero clarity. That’s the reality many IT teams are facing today. As environments grow more complex, telemetry explodes. Millions of records generated every hour. Dozens of specialized tools for network, storage, Kubernetes, cloud, AI workloads. Each tool is good at its domain. But none of them answers the real question: Where should I focus right now? Fragmented visibility creates predictable failure modes.

Keeping it boring: the incident.io technology stack

At incident.io we run a deliberately simple technology stack. Keeping things boring has allowed us to scale from a few hundred customers to several thousand, while having only two platform engineers. In this post I'll walk through the stack, explain some of the choices we've made, and touch on the challenges we're facing as we grow.

Ghosts of Servers Past: The Bare-Metal Comeback Story

Bare-metal. Just reading that word might trigger a physical reaction for some of us. Dusty closets, old server rooms, and loud rigs that never seemed to work quite right. Remember waiting days for IT to provision a server, only to realize your ticket got lost in the shuffle? Or the classic "well, it worked on my machine" excuse right before a production push? Ah, the good old days.

The Ultimate Kubernetes Cost Monitoring And Management Guide

While Kubernetes enables teams to deliver more value faster, understanding and controlling Kubernetes costs remains challenging. You have disposable, replaceable compute resources constantly coming and going across a range of infrastructure types. Yet at the end of the month, you only get a billing line item for EKS costs and several EC2 instances.

Scaling Argo CD Past 50 Clusters: GitOps, Pipelines, & Governance

Is your engineering team hitting the "Argo Ceiling"? Argo CD is incredible at syncing state, but as you scale past 20, 50, or 100 clusters, the maintenance tax skyrockets. In this webinar, we break down why the "hub and spoke" model of GitOps creates isolated silos, leading to "tab fatigue," massive security blast radiuses, and the need for thousands of lines of brittle CI "glue code" just to handle basic release orchestration.

Resolve Webinar: Automating Joiner, Mover, and Leaver Workflows with Agentic Orchestration

Still managing Joiner, Mover, Leaver workflows with tickets and manual handoffs? It’s time to automate them. In this fast-paced session, we show how enterprises use agentic AI and orchestration to eliminate repetitive JML tickets, enforce policy automatically, and deliver secure access from day one. Powered by Resolve’s Agentic Resolution Fabric, AI agents coordinate knowledge, automation, and technician assist to provision, modify, and revoke access without manual triage. Faster onboarding. Zero-delay changes. Audit-ready offboarding.

Resolve's Agents of IT podcast - Ep. 13 - Ari's Secret Fortune (500)

In this episode of Agents of IT, we reflect on scale, strategy, and what it really takes to transform IT inside the world’s largest enterprises. Ari shares lessons from his work with Fortune 500 organizations, breaking down what separates automation pilots from true operational change.
