Kubernetes Load Testing Made Easy with Speedscale

Feb 11, 2026 By Ken Ahrens In Speedscale

Everybody knows working with Kubernetes is really hard. It's highly complicated. You have to know how to work with YAMLs, there's lots of stuff to deal with. The classic developer experience with YAML. But what if you could get complete visibility into your Kubernetes workloads and run realistic load tests without touching a single YAML file or running kubectl commands? In this walkthrough, I'll show you how Speedscale makes Kubernetes observability and performance testing as simple as point-and-click.

Silent Failures: Why AI Code Breaks in Production

Feb 11, 2026 By Ken Ahrens In Speedscale

You ship a small “safe” change on Friday. The diff is tiny, the tests are green, and the AI assistant was confident. An hour after deploy, your on-call channel lights up. A downstream service is rejecting responses that look fine in code review. Now you’re rolling back and rewriting a fix that should have been obvious if you had real traffic in the loop. This isn’t a hypothetical.

Top Continuous Integration Metrics Every Platform Engineering Leader Should Track | Harness Blog

Feb 11, 2026 By Chinmay Gaikwad In Harness

Track build duration, queue time, success rate, and cost per build to directly improve developer productivity, control costs, and enhance delivery reliability. Standardize pipeline metadata and automate metric collection to turn raw CI data into actionable insights across teams, services, and cost centers. Pair metrics with intelligent caching, optimized testing, and build acceleration to reduce build times and operational costs while maintaining security standards.

Unit Testing in CI/CD: How to Accelerate Builds Without Sacrificing Quality | Harness Blog

Feb 11, 2026 By Chinmay Gaikwad In Harness

Smart test selection, parallel test runs, and intelligent caching can all speed up builds without sacrificing code quality. Fast, focused, and separate unit tests are very important for quick development. They give you feedback right away and make it easier to refactor with confidence. Unit tests are a quick and cheap way to find logic errors, but they can't check how different parts work together. For full coverage, use them with integration tests and end-to-end tests.

When ConfigMaps Hit Limits: Migrating to CRDs

Feb 11, 2026 By Kubex In Densify

Over the past few years, Kubex has evolved from a cloud optimization product into a Kubernetes-centric solution, shifting its focus from cost and waste visibility to fully automated resource optimization. As that evolution happened, one of the earliest design decisions we had made began to show its limits: how the product was configured.
