Deployment strategies: Types, trade-offs, and how to choose

Mar 24, 2026 By Roger Winter In CircleCI
A deployment strategy is the method a team uses to move new code into a production environment. It determines how traffic shifts between versions, how much risk each release represents, and how quickly the team can roll back when something breaks. The choice isn’t academic: a mismatch between strategy and system can mean downtime, failed rollouts, or hours of manual recovery.

Multi-Agent AI SRE Has Landed and Its Built for Your Most Complex Stacks

Mar 24, 2026 By Itiel Shwartz In Komodor
Once upon a time, a monolith running on a handful of servers meant that incident management, even at 2:17 AM, was something a single generalist could handle. One person with enough context across the stack could reasonably diagnose whether the database was choking, a config had changed, or a server was running hot. They’d fix it and go back to sleep.

How to Protect Website Monitoring from Cloud Disruptions

Mar 24, 2026 By Pingdom In SolarWinds
The cloud is often spoken of as a separate realm where data exists safely away from the messy realities of the physical world. But as the events of March 2026 have reminded us, the cloud has a physical home, and that home is susceptible to the same disruptions as any other infrastructure. Here’s how diversified monitoring across independent data centers can keep visibility intact when cloud services go down.

AI, Anxiety & 400 Open Windows: GEOFF WRIGHT RETURNS

Mar 24, 2026 By Nexthink In Nexthink
Geoff Wright returns to unpack the messy reality of work in the AI era. From having 400 windows open and feeling less productive, to explaining why AI should fuel curiosity rather than replace human judgment, Geoff brings his usual mix of optimism, humor, and hard-earned perspective. The conversation explores prompt engineering, digital overwhelm, enterprise adoption, and why “being human first” matters more than ever. It is a wide-ranging, thoughtful discussion on anxiety, complexity, and the promise of AI, with a surprisingly funny detour into why the robots might eventually just leave Earth for Pluto.

Flaky Tests: The Quiet Killer of Productivity in Your CI Pipeline | Harness Blog

Mar 24, 2026 By Chinmay Gaikwad In Harness
‍Flaky tests are automated tests that pass or fail inconsistently without changes to the code. In this guide, you’ll learn why flaky tests happen, how to detect them automatically in CI pipelines, and how modern platforms prevent them from slowing teams down. Your test went well three times yesterday. It didn't work this morning. You ran it again without changing anything, and now it works. Congratulations, you've just passed a flaky test, and now someone's day is going to be ruined.

CI/CD best practices | Harness Blog

Mar 24, 2026 By Chinmay Gaikwad In Harness
Modern software teams are under constant pressure to ship faster without breaking production. That’s why CI/CD best practices have become essential for high-performing DevOps organizations. Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) help automate builds, testing, and deployments — but simply installing a pipeline tool isn’t enough. Without the right practices, pipelines become slow, flaky, and difficult to govern.

The Complexity Rebound

Mar 24, 2026 By Grant Fritchey In Redgate
Redgate’s annual “State of the Database Landscape” survey has been published. Like every other year, it paints a really interesting picture. Personally, I love looking through this in order to better understand where people are experiencing pain in the management of their data. If you know where people are experiencing pain, as a technical person, you know where to focus your own skill development.

Connecting Matter-over-Thread Devices to the Internet

Mar 24, 2026 By François Baldassari In Memfault
While it has taken longer than some people expected, Matter is finally going mainstream. Brands including Ikea, Kwikset, and Bosch have shipped matter devices, and matter hubs can increasingly be found in people’s homes. Many dev kits out there are matter compatible, and if you want to build a simple application you can find good example code and get started quickly. This is fine if your use case fits neatly within existing Matter clusters, but direct internet communication is not straightforward.

The Hidden Tax of Complexity: Why Modern Environments Cost More Than Leaders Realize

Mar 24, 2026 By ScienceLogic In ScienceLogic
Enterprises rarely notice the moment complexity begins to reshape their environment. Growth initiatives move forward. New cloud services are adopted. Modernization programs introduce new architectures. Business units implement tools that solve immediate problems. Acquisitions add their own ecosystems. Each change is logical in isolation. The cumulative effect becomes something else entirely.

What Is IT Automation & Orchestration (and How Do I Get Started)?

Mar 24, 2026 By Derek Pascarella In Resolve
So, you've been tasked with automating one or more of your tedious, time-consuming IT processes… but what exactly does that mean? And perhaps more importantly, where on earth do you start? IT automation and orchestration can cover a broad spectrum of potential use-cases, ranging from the Service Desk to the NOC, to Infrastructure, and well beyond.
