Platform engineering. CI/CD strategy. AI pipelines.
DevEx ROI: Making the Case to Engineering Leadership
Platform teams know their tools save time. Engineering leadership wants a number. This is the playbook for measuring and communicating DevEx ROI — from pipeline time savings to reduced on-call incidents from bad deploys.
SuperPlane v0.9: Smarter Test Selection with Rolling History
In v0.9 we extended the test selection model from a 7-day lookback to a 30-day rolling window. Here's what changed and what the data shows.
Zero-Config Test Optimization: What It Takes
The promise: connect your repo, test selection starts working with no configuration. Here's exactly what 'zero-config' means under the hood.
How to Measure Platform Team Toil (and What to Do About It)
Most platform teams still don't measure toil systematically. A simple framework for tracking where your time goes — and which categories are automatable.
GitHub Actions vs Buildkite vs SuperPlane: When to Use Each
These tools solve different problems. Here's how to decide which belongs in your stack — and when SuperPlane adds value on top.
Building an Internal Developer Platform in 2025
A practical framework for deciding what your platform should actually own versus what should stay as team-level configuration.
How We Reduced Flaky Test Rate by 40% with Smarter Test Selection
Flaky tests and over-running suites are two symptoms of the same disease: you're running tests that don't need to run. Here's what we learned.
Policy-as-Code for CI/CD: A Practitioner's Guide
Pipeline policy-as-code — writing CI logic in reviewable, version-controlled policy blocks — is not well documented. This is the guide we wished existed.
The Real Cost of Kubernetes Pipeline Complexity
Kubernetes gave teams control over infra. It also created a new category of CI complexity. How many hours per week do platform engineers at K8s shops spend on pipeline maintenance?
AI in CI Pipelines: What Actually Works in 2025
The CI/CD space has been flooded with AI feature announcements. A clear-eyed look at which applications actually save time — and which are demos.
Environment Drift: How It Starts and Why It's Hard to Stop
Works on staging. Fails in prod. This post traces exactly how environment drift accumulates — from the first manually-edited config that nobody documented.
Canary Deployments: The Decision Nobody Talks About
The hard part of canary deployments isn't the traffic split. It's knowing when to promote and when to roll back. Most teams solve this with a cron job and hope.
Platform Engineering vs DevOps: What's Actually Different
The practical difference changes how you structure a team, evaluate tools, and measure success. The two disciplines get conflated constantly.
Test Selection Without ML Infrastructure
Most assume you need a dedicated ML team to do intelligent test selection. You don't. Here's how to get 60% test reduction with nothing but your existing test history.
Why YAML CI Configs Break at Scale
Platform teams reach a point where CI configuration becomes the biggest source of developer friction. Here's the structural reason YAML doesn't scale.
