Automated Database Failover: Why Homegrown High Availability Struggles At Scale (opens on the source site)
I’ve encountered DBAs and ops engineers who shared war stories of running production long before automation and modern tooling went mainstream. Experiencing sudden primary faults during sleeping hours, getting paged, logging in to squint over trace logs that show replication lag on all replicas and working out which one is furthest ahead, promoting it, editing […] The post Automated Database Failover: Why Homegrown High Availability Struggles At Scale appeared first on Severalnines.
Automated merchant review summary system with integrated feedback (opens on the source site)
Grab ·
Introduction Merchant reviews contain useful details about food quality, portion size, packaging, and value. Finding these details often requires reading many comments. Aggregate ratings simplify comparisons, but they do not explain what shaped each score. We built the Automated Merchant Review Summary System to turn written reviews into concise summaries. Consumers can scan an overall summary or focus on a specific topic. Merchants can identify what customers value and which parts of the experience need attention. This article focuses on how we generate and maintain consumer-facing review…

Announcing importmap-update: automated dependency updates for importmap-rails (opens on the source site)
Dependabot keeps your gems current, but it doesn't know about the JavaScript packages pinned in your Rails importmap. We're releasing a GitHub Action that opens pull requests for the ones that are outdated or vulnerable.
Data Mesh at Grab (Part III): Operationalizing data reliability with automated DPIs (opens on the source site)
Grab ·
Introduction In the first two parts of this series, we described how Grab approaches data mesh through the Signals Marketplace: a way for teams to publish, discover, and reuse trusted data products across domains. Part II introduced the foundational tools behind certification: Hubble for metadata and ownership, Genchi for data quality observability, and the Data Contract Registry for explicit producer-consumer guarantees. Certification is the starting point for a trusted data marketplace. It gives downstream consumers confidence in an asset’s ownership, documentation, lineage, and quality…

Generating AI Descriptions of Automated Pull Requests (opens on the source site)
The slack-ruby-client library, an open source Ruby gem I maintain, runs a scheduled GitHub Actions workflow that regenerates code from Slack’s API definitions and opens a pull request with the diff. The commit message and CHANGELOG entry used to be a generic “Update API (2026-08-11)”, which told a reviewer nothing about what actually changed. Here’s how we taught the workflow to describe its own diffs, using GitHub Copilot CLI, which open source maintainers can get for free. The Idea The workflow already computes a diff before opening the pull request. Instead of a boilerplate commit message,…
GoCardless and anvil partner to launch automated payments for telcos and MSPs (opens on the source site)
Written by Last editedJul 20262 min read LONDON 28 July, 2026 -- GoCardless, the bank payment company, has announced a partnership with anvil, an all-in-one business management and billing platform for the telecom and IT sectors. The integration connects anvil's billing system directly to the GoCardless payment network, allowing telecom operators and Managed Service Providers (MSPs) to automate how they collect payments and manage their accounts. The new partnership will simplify payment set-up at the first customer touchpoint: the point of order. Customers enter their bank details and…
Automated Schema Evolution in Pinterest’s Next-Generation DB Ingestion Framework (opens on the source site)
Yisheng Zhou | Software Engineer IILiang Mou | Sr Staff Software EngineerGabriel Raphael Garcia Montoya | Staff Software EngineerIstvan Podor | Staff Software EngineerIntroductionIn the first post of this series, we introduced Pinterest’s next-generation CDC-based ingestion platform built on Kafka, Flink, Spark, and Iceberg. In production, upstream schemas are constantly evolving, and in a distributed CDC pipeline, schema is not just metadata — it is a cross-system contract spanning ingestion, transformation, storage, and historical backfill. A schema change that is not handled carefully can…
Teaching Sidekick to say no: automated data curation with LLM judge consensus (opens on the source site)
Shopify ·
Production training data only captures successful queries; it can't teach a model when to say no. We built an automated curation pipeline using LLM judge consensus to close that gap.

Automated Code Review: The 6-Month Evolution (opens on the source site)

As HubSpot engineers have increasingly started writing more and more of their code with both local and cloud coding agents, we've noticed that now more than ever, code review is taking up a large portion of cycle time on new changes.
Unlocking AI innovation through automated governance (opens on the source site)
Over the past two years, we’ve witnessed a Cambrian explosion of AI development, with Generative and Agentic AI capturing stakeholders’ attention. AI/ML Engineers are delivering real business value by intermixing LLMs and agentic systems with traditional machine learning systems. It’s been an era of rapid prototyping and quick integrations. Teams have adopted different approaches - each unlocking new potential, but also introducing complexity. As these prototypes evolved into production systems, duplicated effort and inefficiencies began to show. Teams built similar observability and…

Automated repo maintenance via GitHub Copilot coding agent (opens on the source site)
I have a problem: I'm addicted to making new repositories on GitHub. As part of my advocacy role at Microsoft, my goal is to show developers how to combine technology X with technology Y, and a repository is a great way to prove it. But that means I now have hundreds of repositories that I am trying to keep working, and they require constant upgrades: Upgraded Python packages, npm packages, GitHub Actions Improved Python tooling (like moving from pip to uv, or black to ruff) Hosted API changes (versions, URLs, deprecations) Infrastructure upgrades (Bicep/Terraform changes) All of those…

The Automated CIO (opens on the source site)
I previously wrote a bit about our internal infrastructure in my post on The Art of Automation. This post is going to go into details about our automated Chief infrastructure Officer (CIO). I joke so much that I automated our CIO that I even named the repo holding the code… cio. I took the time this weekend to finally clean up some of this code. Previously, our infrastructure was held together with bash, popsicle sticks, glue, and some rust. Now, it is mostly rust and a much more sane architecture to grok. We also get the freedom of caching all our data in a database that we own so we can…
Learning How to Set Up Automated, Cross-browser JavaScript Unit Testing (opens on the source site)
We all know how important it is to test our code in multiple browsers. And I think for the most part, we in the web development community do a pretty good job at this—at least when first releasing a project. What we don’t do a good job of is testing our code every time we make a change. I know I’m personally guilty of this. I’ve had “learn how to set up automated, cross-browser JavaScript unit testing” on my to-do list for years, but every time I sat down to really figure it out, I gave up. While I’m sure this was partially due to my laziness, I think it was also due to the surprising lack of…
