Which Bugs AI Agents Fix Better With Traffic
In the first experiment, I wanted a baseline: if an AI coding agent gets the same production signal a human would get, can it fix bugs in a codebase it has never seen? Yes, but only when I gave it better context. With only an alert, the agent passed 51% of the runtime tests. When I added captured traffic, the actual request and response for the failing call, it climbed to 77%. This post is the second pass.
EU Cyber Resilience Act: Is Your Software Compliant? (2026 State of Open Source Report)
What does the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) mean for open source software, software supply chain security, and regulatory compliance? In this clip from the 2026 State of Open Source Report webinar, experts discuss how the European Union's Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is reshaping software security requirements for organizations that develop, distribute, and integrate software products. The panel explores why the CRA is one of the most significant regulatory developments affecting the software industry and how it impacts both commercial software vendors and the open source ecosystem.
Open Source Security, Licensing, and Other Challenges (2026 State of Open Source Report)
Is open source licensing still a major challenge for enterprises—or has security become the bigger concern? In this clip from the 2026 State of Open Source Report webinar, experts from the Eclipse Foundation, Open Source Initiative (OSI), and Perforce OpenLogic discuss how open source adoption challenges have evolved over the past decade. While licensing complexity was once a top concern for organizations, the maturation of the open source ecosystem and the widespread adoption of well-established licenses have helped reduce that burden.
Why Companies Choose Open Source Software (2026 State of Open Source Report)
Why do organizations choose open source software? Is it primarily about cost savings, avoiding vendor lock-in, digital sovereignty, long-term support, trusted transparency, or community-driven innovation?
data:unplugged 2026 Recap - PAYBACK's Decade of Data Mastery
At the recent data:unplugged 2026 in Münster, Europe’s biggest festival for data and AI, the stage was set for a masterclass in data transformation. Julian Stock, Analytics Reporting Team Lead, and Andreas Weiß, Senior Reporting Engineer, from PAYBACK, Germany’s premier loyalty program, shared the stage to detail a decade-long evolution: the journey from a strict, ticket-based reporting system to a thriving, AI-ready data culture.
How to Architect a Clean Context Layer for Trustworthy AI
A CFO asks her AI agent a simple question: "What was our ARR at the end of Q3?" The agent finds the subscriptions table, spots a column called arr, sums it up, and returns $16.4M. Strong quarter. Everyone nods. The real number was $13.9M, but no one in the room knew it yet. I hear some version of this story from nearly every data leader I talk to right now, and it almost always starts the same way. They stand up an AI pilot. It looks sharp in the POC.
Rendezvous Points: Simulating Real Simultaneity, Not Just a Ramp-Up
This is the fourth post in our "Features Sitting Idle" series, where we explore OctoPerf features that are powerful, already available, and yet often replaced by manual workarounds. The distinction matters, and it is often overlooked in test scenarios. Teams that need to simulate a true simultaneous spike - flash sales, ticket drops, mass logins at a specific time, scheduled batch openings - usually end up working around the problem instead of using the tool's native support for it.
AI Load Testing With a French LLM: OctoPerf MCP Meets Mistral Vibe
When we released the OctoPerf MCP Server, most teams connected to it straight from Claude.ai. Then we showed how to run the whole stack on-premise with a local model. But a question kept coming back from European teams: can we drive our load tests with a French LLM, hosted in Europe, instead of a US model? The answer is yes, and it takes about five minutes.
