Shipping code without human verification Discover how automated verification allows engineering teams to safely ship AI-generated code without human review bottlenecks. Designing APIs for agents Learn how Webflow redesigned its APIs for AI agents, moving from endpoint wrapping to intent-driven Model Context Protocol design. The 24-hour experiment that helped Anthropic find its identity Anthropic's head of product explains why eval suites replaced PRDs, how coding became a strategic priority, and what small teams can unlock at the AI frontier. Modus’s operandi: To give AI agents just the right amount of context Modus has emerged from stealth with $10 million to build a context warehouse that gives AI agents only the enterprise information they need. Mate Security bets a context-first AI architecture can reinvent the SOC as it lands $35M Series A Mate Security’s Security Context Graph gives AI agents richer enterprise context as the startup raises $35M to challenge copilot-led security operations in the SOC. From our partner, Tiger Data Postgres for time-series workloads at any scale Every growing Postgres database eventually slows down. Tiger Data extends Postgres to keep time-series workloads fast with: Native time-series primitives Automatic partitioning + columnar storage No pipelines, migrations, or second database Start building for free Why your company should (try to) build its own AI SRE Agentic coding tools are shipping more code than any human can fully understand, and when something breaks, your SREs are stuck debugging systems they didn't build. Sam Farid and Nate Heinrich of Chronosphere spoke to The New Stack about why the fix isn't buying an AI SRE off the shelf; it's building your own first, and why even a company that sells AI SRE products is telling you to try the DIY route before theirs. Watch the episode Featured events & webinars On Demand Virtual Still managing separate access tools for humans, pipelines, and AI agents? Most access tools were built for humans, not for CI/CD jobs, service accounts, or AI agents making tool calls across your infrastructure. That mismatch is forcing teams to stitch together separate systems for every type of identity. See what a single, unified access architecture actually looks like today, without adding IT overhead or slowing your engineering teams down.

Learn how to monitor traditional services and evaluate AI agent behavior in production using one open-source stack built on OpenSearch and OpenTelemetry.
