Spacelift today unfurled an open source agentic artificial intelligence (AI) framework for managing infrastructure that eliminates the need for a developer to write any Terraform or OpenTofu code. Marcin Wyszynski, chief research and development officer for Spacelift, said instead of generating code Spacelift Intent translates requests directly into an application programming interface (API) that interacts […]

I had a mix-up with a host and was on vacation all last week, so no invite.I’m extending T-SQL Tuesday #191 a week to have people write on Oct 21, 2025. My apologies. The invite is below, something that’s been on my mind with all the AI work I’ve been doing, but I thought I’d ask about something more SQL related.I’m looking for hosts for 2026.

The use of artificial intelligence brings high hopes and expectations in the technological world, promising changes to the way businesses operate. A staggering 79% of companies are now or will be using AI within the next year, according to an August 2025 survey from OpenText and the Ponemon Institute. AI’s rise is especially prevalent in the software development sector, and in particular in the area of developer […]
Google’s Gemini CLI extensions framework enables developers to integrate external tools like Figma, Stripe, Postman, and Dynatrace directly within the terminal. Built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the system reduces context switching and boosts DevOps productivity through AI automation.
It was only a few years ago that perhaps the biggest hurdle for DevOps advocates was convincing leadership that it was worth the investment. That conversation has since shifted. In most organisations today, the value of faster releases, tighter feedback loops, and closer collaboration between development and operations is obvious. The challenge is no longer […]
Grafana Labs this week made generally available an artificial intelligence (AI) agent, dubbed Grafana Assistant, for its namesake dashboard in addition to previewing Grafana Assistant Investigations, an AI incident management tool that analyzes the observability stack, generates findings and hypotheses, and surfaces actionable recommendations for mitigation and remediation. Announced at its ObservabilityCON 2025 conference, Grafana […]
When you use a casino website, the frontend (what you click, what you see) is only half the story. Behind the scenes, there’s a backend that tracks user balances, accepts bets, resolves game outcomes, and handles requests like placing a bet or withdrawing funds. Your job is to build the plumbing so that everything stays consistent, reliable, and fair. A bug there can mean money disappears or users cheat.You’ll see two main frameworks people pick in Python for web backends: Flask and Django. Each has its trade-offs, flexibility versus built-in features. Later on, I’ll sketch how minimal architecture might look.Flask…
In a survey of over a thousand CIOs, CTOs, CISOs and other tech execs conducted by Protiviti, organizations spend an average of 30% of their total IT budgets on managing technical debt. Not only is it costly, but nearly 70% felt that technical debt highly impacted their ability to innovate. Technical debt happens to organizations […]
Unlimited access to Docker Hardened Images: Because security should be affordable, always Every organization we speak with shares the same goal: to deliver software that is secure and free of CVEs. Near-zero CVEs is the ideal state. But achieving that ideal is harder than it sounds, because paradoxes exist at every step. Developers patch quickly, yet new CVEs appear faster than fixes can ship. Organizations standardize on…
Engineering teams spend nearly 15 hours a week on repetitive DevOps toils that drain productivity. This guide explains how to identify high-impact automation opportunities, apply the 15-minute rule, and build sustainable script-based solutions that eliminate toil and free teams for innovation.
