Full-stack observability platform company Coralogix has detailed the launch of its new Model Context Protocol Server technology. The product is designed to allow third-party AI agents to connect directly to Coralogix’s observability data services to provide a deeper view into the new fabric of agentic AI connections.Breaking down the observability viewfinder on offer here, Coralogix’s perspective purview covers logs, metrics and traces and extends to formalized security information and event management (SIEM) controls.Newly Barrelled RUMAdditionally, the company has a wide-angle view on real user monitoring (pleasingly shortened to RUM), which we can define as performance monitoring focused on actual user…

Perforce Software today added an artificial intelligence (AI) agent that autonomously adapts tests it has created as changes are made to mobile computing applications.Don Jackson, technical evangelist for Perforce, said via a natural language interface it’s now possible for DevOps teams to leverage an AI model that Perforce developed to generate tests using a Perfecto AI test automation platform that already eliminates the need to create test scripts.Based on a proprietary AI model developed by Perforce Software, that approach enables the AI agent to autonomously make adjustments in real time as changes to the user interface (UI) or user flows…

Learn how to create text-based user interfaces (TUIs) using Python and the amazing Textual package. Textual is a rapid application development framework for your terminal or web browser. You can build complex, sophisticated applications in your terminal. While terminal applications are text-based rather than pixel-based, they still provide fantastic user interfaces. The Textual package allows you to create widgets in your terminal that mimic those used in a web or GUI application. Creating TUI Applications with Textual and Python is to teach you how to use Textual to make striking applications of your own. The book’s first half will teach…
The PASS Summit goes on tour this year, with the final date the first few days of October in the Netherlands, Utrect to be exact. This is the first event in the series, and I’m excited to go back to New York City for the event. You can register here and come see some amazing speakers on Oct 1-2, 2025.The lineup is small and short, but it’s a one pre-con day with two half-day sessions and then a one full day of hour long sessions. The pre-cons include Fabric, leadership, performance tuning and more. All from industry experts. The regular…
Harness today updated its platform for managing infrastructure as code to add a set of templates for predefining essential variables, configuration settings, and policies, along with a module registry that makes it possible to more easily share those templates.Uri Scheiner, senior vice president and general manager for Harness, said the latest edition of Harness Infrastructure as Code Management (IaCM) will make it simpler for DevOps teams to standardarize workflows and implement governance policies using Open Policy Agent (OPA) software that continues to be advanced under the auspices of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF).The overall goal is to reduce the…
Development teams today sprint toward deadlines, and the urge to ship fresh features can shove unnoticed bugs straight into production. The old habit of confining tests to the rear of the schedule simply can’t keep pace with nightly or even weekly releases. Continuous testing strategies can help change the rhythm. By running automated test suites with every commit, this approach provides developers immediate visibility into how any single change endangers vital business functions. Bugs that once slipped through the final gate are caught within hours, sometimes minutes and quality stubbornly stays in the picture. In this article, we will explore tactics that…
Amazon Web Services (AWS) today previewed an internal developer environment (IDE) infused with artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities that promises to make it simpler for application developers to invoke multiple agents.Srini Iragavarapu, director of generative AI applications and developer experiences for Amazon Q Business, said the Kiro IDE makes use of specs to provide developers with a set of best practices to follow and a set of hooks for invoking various tools and backend services. Kiro specs guide developers and their AI agents through the steps required to build an application. Kiro hooks, meanwhile, provide an event-driven framework for invoking tools that…
I recently had to copy an Azure SQL database (SQL db) from one subscription to an Azure SQL Server instance in another subscription. All of the help I found suggested going to the database and hitting the COPY option. Unfortunately, when I did, I ran into a problem. There was no subscription option, and the only servers listed were on the current subscription. I should point out that if you are copying from one Azure Managed Instance (MI) to another, then you have plenty of options, including selecting the subscription. Here, however, all I had was Server and Database Name.…
The non-deterministic nature of LLMs makes them ideal for generating dynamic, rich test data, perfect for validating app behavior and ensuring consistent, high-quality user experiences. Today, we’ll walk you through how to use Docker’s Model Runner with Microcks to generate dynamic mock APIs for testing your applications. Microcks is a powerful CNCF tool that allows developers to quickly spin up mock services for development and testing. By providing predefined mock responses or generating them directly from an OpenAPI schema, you can point your applications to consume these mocks instead of hitting real APIs, enabling efficient and safe testing environments. Docker…
