2026/02/20

OnThe New Stack Agents, Gavriel Cohen discusses why he built NanoClaw, a minimalist alternative to OpenClaw, after discovering security and architectural flaws in the rapidly growing agentic framework. Cohen, co-founder of AI marketing agencyQwibit, had been running agents across operations, sales, and research usingClaude Code. When Clawdbot (laterOpenClaw) launched, it initially seemed ideal. But Cohen grew concerned after noticing questionable dependencies—including his own outdated GitHub

A few weeks after Dynatrace acquired DevCycle, Michael Beemer and Andrew Norris discussed on The New Stack Makers podcast how feature flagging is becoming a critical safeguard in the AI era. By integrating DevCycle’s feature flagging into the Dynatrace observability platform, the combined solution delivers a “360-degree view” of software performance at the feature level. This closes a key visibility gap, enabling teams to see exactly how individual features affect systems in production.As “agentic

Dynatrace is at a pivotal point, expanding beyond traditional observability into a platform designed for autonomous operations and security powered by agentic AI. In an interview on *The New Stack Makers*, recorded at the Dynatrace Perform conference, Chief Technology Strategist Alois Reitbauer discussed his vision for AI-managed production environments. The conversation followed Dynatrace’s acquisition of DevCycle, a feature-management platform. Reitbauer highlighted feature flags—long used in

Matan-Paul Shetrit, Director of Product Management at Writer, argues that people must take responsibility for how they use AI. If someone produces poor-quality output, he says, the blame lies with the user—not the tool. He believes many misunderstand AI’s role, confusing its ability to accelerate work with an abdication of accountability. Speaking on The New Stack Agents podcast, Shetrit emphasized that “we’re all becoming editors,” meaning professionals increasingly review and refine AI-generated

2026/02/10

AI coding assistants are boosting developer productivity, but most enterprises aren’t shipping software any faster. GitLab CEO Bill Staples says the reason is simple: coding was never the main bottleneck. After speaking with more than 60 customers, Staples found that developers spend only 10–20% of their time writing code. The remaining 80–90% is consumed by reviews, CI/CD pipelines, security scans, compliance checks, and deployment—areas that remain largely unautomated. Faster code generation only

Sean O’Dell of Dynatrace argues that enterprises are unprepared for a major shift brought on by AI: the rise of the developer. Speaking at Dynatrace Perform in Las Vegas, O’Dell explains that AI-assisted and “vibe” coding are collapsing traditional boundaries in software development. Developers, once insulated from production by layers of operations and governance, are now regaining end-to-end ownership of the entire software lifecycle — from development and testing to deployment and security.

2026/01/29

In the era of agentic AI, attention has largely focused on data itself, while metadata has remained a neglected concern. Junping (JP) Du, founder and CEO of Datastrato, argues that this must change as AI fundamentally alters how data and metadata are consumed, governed, and understood. To address this gap, Datastrato created Apache Gravitino, an open source, high-performance, geo-distributed, federated metadata lake designed to act as a neutral control plane for metadata and governance across

Chris Aniszczyk, co-founder and CTO of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), argues that AI agents resemble microservices at a surface level, though they differ in how they are scaled and managed. In an interview ahead of KubeCon/CloudNativeCon Europe, he emphasized that being “AI native” requires being cloud native by default. Cloud-native technologies such as containers, microservices, Kubernetes, gRPC, Prometheus, and OpenTelemetry provide the scalability, resilience, and observability

Solving the Problems that Accompany API Sprawl with AI

API sprawl creates hidden security risks and missed revenue opportunities when organizations lose visibility into the APIs they build. According to IBM’s Neeraj Nargund, APIs power the core business processes enterprises want to scale, making automated discovery, observability, and governance essential—especially when thousands of APIs exist across teams and environments. Strong governance helps identify endpoints, remediate shadow APIs, and manage risk at scale. At the same time, enterprises

A CloudBees survey reveals that enterprise migration projects often fail to deliver promised modernization benefits. In 2024, 57% of enterprises spent over $1 million on migrations, with average overruns costing $315,000 per project. In The New Stack Makers podcast, CloudBees CEO Anuj Kapur describes this pattern as “the migration mirage,” where organizations chase modernization through costly migrations that push value further into the future.

IBM’s recent acquisitions of Red Hat, HashiCorp, and its planned purchase of Confluent reflect a deliberate strategy to build the infrastructure required for enterprise AI. According to IBM’s Sanil Nambiar, AI depends on consistent hybrid cloud runtimes (Red Hat), programmable and automated infrastructure (HashiCorp), and real-time, trustworthy data (Confluent). Without these foundations, AI cannot function effectively. Nambiar argues that modern, software-defined networks have become too complex

Why You Can't Build AI Without Progressive Delivery

Former GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke’s claim that AI-based development requires progressive delivery frames a conversation between analyst James Governor and The New Stack’s Alex Williams about why modern release practices matter more than ever. Governor argues that AI systems behave unpredictably in production: models can hallucinate, outputs vary between versions, and changes are often non-deterministic. Because of this uncertainty, teams must rely on progressive delivery techniques such as feature

Most enterprises today run workloads across multiple IT infrastructures rather than a single platform, creating significant operational challenges. According to Nutanix CTO Deepak Goel, organizations face three major hurdles: managing operational complexity amid a shortage of cloud-native skills, migrating legacy virtual machine (VM) workloads to microservices-based cloud-native platforms, and running VM-based workloads alongside containerized applications.

At KubeCon North America 2025, GitLab’s Emilio Salvador outlined how developers are shifting from individual coders to leaders of hybrid human–AI teams. He envisions developers evolving into “cognitive architects,” responsible for breaking down large, complex problems and distributing work across both AI agents and humans. Complementing this is the emerging role of the “AI guardian,” reflecting growing skepticism around AI-generated code. Even as AI produces more code, humans remain accountable for
