Ready to see how AI is reshaping software engineering? Our comprehensive report reveals the surprising reality behind AI adoption in development teams across the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. Based on insights from 900 engineers and technical leaders, this study uncovers the AI Velocity Paradox – where faster coding creates unexpected bottlenecks that could derail your entire delivery pipeline.

While 63% of organizations report shipping code faster with AI, the real story is more nuanced. Organizations are racing ahead with AI-powered coding while their downstream processes lag dangerously behind, creating new risks that threaten to undermine the very speed gains they're pursuing.

What You'll Discover:

  • The AI adoption reality: Organizations now use 8-10 distinct AI tools on average, creating significant tool sprawl and governance challenges
  • The hidden velocity trap: How 45% of AI-generated code deployments lead to problems, and why only 41% of teams are confident their governance processes can prevent bugs from reaching production
  • The four quadrants of AI maturity: A framework showing where your organization sits and the clear path to becoming a "Velocity Leader" – achieving both speed and resilience

Download your copy now to discover how to escape the AI Velocity Paradox and unlock AI's true potential across your entire software delivery lifecycle.

Enhance DevOps with streamlined database change management
Bridging the DevOps Gap: Making Database Changes as Fast as Application Deployments without Compromising Performance and Compliance Harness and DBmarlin are working together to bring you this important capability. In today’s fast-paced development environments, database changes often remain the Achilles’ heel of DevOps processes - slowing down your release cycle. While application changes are streamlined with CI/CD pipelines, database updates bring unique complexities due to their direct impact on critical, persistent data. That’s why the synergy between DBmarlin and Harness Database DevOps is so powerful—it enables seamless, risk-mitigated database changes alongside robust performance insights. The session will cover: - Why database changes are more complex than application changes - How to make database changes easier, safer, and faster - How Harness Database DevOps and DBmarlin offer you a unique advantage - How to optimise change for multiple teams and roles
