API Failure: 7 Causes and How to Fix Them | Harness Blog

APIs have revolutionized how web and web app developers interact with data, whether for personal use or business. One of our most profound responsibilities as API developers is to protect our endpoints from being hacked. Even with essential safeguards in place, our websites can be vulnerable. This post discusses seven causes of API failures and how to fix them.

From signals to savings: Optimizing cloud costs with Grafana Assistant and MCP servers

In today's cloud-native environments, managing resource waste and optimizing costs can feel like a constant battle. Operators, along with their fearless FinOps teams, spend countless hours hunting down unused resources, deciphering complex telemetry data, and manually implementing code or configuration changes to try to reduce cloud costs. But what if you could automate the entire process, from identifying waste to implementing the fix, all based on actual production telemetry?

MCP and A2A: What They Are and Why They Matter for Autonomous IT

MCP and A2A are the two protocols that make agentic AI governable at enterprise scale. One controls how agents use tools, and the other controls how agents work together. AI in the enterprise is no longer confined to chat windows. It’s operating inside incident queues and automation pipelines. Increasingly, teams are using AI agents to take action: detecting incidents, executing remediations, updating tickets, coordinating across systems.

Digital Adoption + AI: The Secret Route to Zero Tickets

Generative AI has the potential to transform workplace productivity – but do organizations know how to deliver on that promise? New research shows that employees who use generative AI tools engage with them up to ten times per day, spending over three hours per week interacting with AI at work. And yet within the same organizations, large groups of employees have never meaningfully engaged with these tools at all.

Test your AI model training reliability, too

Training is at the heart of every LLM model, but it’s still an application running on an infrastructure, which means it can fail. Our GPU test helps you test your training GPUs so you don’t lose that valuable work. TRANSCRIPT: One of the things we built recently was the GPU Gremlin. So if you are training a bunch of models and you're doing a bunch of GPU testing. You know, we want to give you the tools to be able to go test that, to understand how training the model could fail.

EV Fleets Don't Fail on the Road. They Fail in the Workflow. Agentic AI Fixes That.

You spent the last decade obsessing over connectivity. You bought into the hype that ‘data is the new oil.’ You fitted your entire fleet with sensors and built massive dashboards to track everything from battery cell temperature to tire pressure. The mission was simple: Capture every metric. Congratulations, you succeeded. You are now drowning in terabytes of data. But here is the hard truth: Data without action is just expensive noise.

How Long Does Deep Research Take? We Timed 5 Tasks With & Without AI

How long does deep research take? That's a million dollar kind question if you've ever lost a weekend to digging through sources for a report. You already know the pain of hours of searching, reading, and synthesizing, only to wonder if you missed something crucial. We gathered experiment data comparing traditional research methods against modern AI tools across five common professional tasks. The exact time savings we measured might surprise you, and they reveal how AI is quietly redefining what it means to be a deep researcher.

Wireless Intercom Headset System: How to Choose, Deploy, and Communicate Without Limits

Wired communication systems have a hard ceiling. The cable defines your range, restricts your movement, and creates a single point of failure every time someone trips, pulls, or unplugs. For a construction foreman moving between floors, a stage manager coordinating backstage logistics, or a security supervisor monitoring a venue perimeter, that constraint is not a minor inconvenience - it is a direct limit on operational effectiveness.

What To Look For in a Portable Water Sampler

Choosing a portable water sampler is not a straightforward task. This means selecting a gear that enables your field testing to be consistent and accurate. But there are several features relevant to the specific sampler use. If you are wondering which model best fits the sampling needs, understanding these attributes will enable you to choose the one that works effectively and fulfills all your needs.
