When Your Observability Literally Stops Traffic

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.

Rovo Chat in Bitbucket now understands your Pipelines

Why did your build fail? Ask Rovo, get a clear answer, and even a way to fix it, from anywhere in Bitbucket Pipeline debugging is one of the most common and most painful parts of the development workflow. In our Atlassian research: AI adoption is rising, but friction persists, over 50% of developers reported losing more than 10 hours each week searching for information, onboarding to new code, or toggling between apps.

Best Emergency Mass Notification Solution for Businesses: OnPage (2026 guide)

When a critical incident or emergency strikes, businesses rely on well-defined incident response procedures to accelerate remediation. Incident response teams are on standby, and each responder understands their role in restoring services and minimizing customer impact. However, organizations often overlook an equally critical requirement: real-time communication with all stakeholders during incidents. This is not just an operational gap, it is increasingly a compliance and risk management requirement.

Integrate Recorded Future threat intelligence with Datadog Cloud SIEM

Recorded Future provides real-time threat intelligence about indicators of compromise (IOCs), including malicious IP addresses, domains, and vulnerabilities. It also adds context on threat actors and campaigns to help security teams understand which signals represent real risk and prioritize their responses accordingly.

Platform engineering metrics: What to measure and what to ignore

Platform engineering teams have access to hundreds of metrics, yet over 40% of platform initiatives cannot demonstrate measurable value within the first year. Teams that cannot quantify their impact fail to obtain executive sponsorship, risk being defunded, and ultimately, face deprecation. To accurately calculate a platform’s ROI, platform engineering teams need to differentiate between signals that measure platform effectiveness and those that should be used solely for investigative purposes.

Not all index scans are equal: How we cut query latency by over 99%

When engineers investigate SQL queries, they normally think of index scans as a fast and efficient step in the query’s execution plan. When executed correctly, they fetch only the relevant rows from your table as opposed to sequential scans that read the entire table, reducing latency and query costs. However, just because an execution plan uses an index scan doesn’t mean that the scan is fast or performant.

IT Cost Reduction Strategies: A CTO & CFO Guide (2026)

Quick answer: IT cost reduction strategies target waste across three categories — cloud infrastructure, SaaS applications, and software licensing — without cutting the investments that drive business value. The highest-impact tactics are auditing unused SaaS licenses, rightsizing overprovisioned cloud resources, automating non-production environment shutdowns, extending commitment coverage on stable workloads, and building cost accountability into engineering workflows.

7 AI productivity lessons from the CTO of Superhuman

Most companies have built AI into their product by now, and many consider it the central feature of what they’re building. But plenty of those same companies are still figuring out how to get their own engineering teams to actually use AI tools day to day. When Loïc Houssier joined Superhuman as CTO in early 2025, his team was in that exact spot. The company had been shipping AI email features for years, but internal adoption of AI dev tools was still early.
