Codacy Guardrails: Real-time security and quality checks for AI-generated code (Sponsor)

AI coding agents like VS Code Agent Mode and Cursor are fast, but can easily introduce insecure or non-compliant code. Codacy Guardrails silently scans and fixes AI-suggested code that contains vulnerabilities or violates your coding standards, while the code is being generated.

  • Free, local, real-time scans for AI-suggested code
  • Make every line of AI code play by your rules
  • Auto-fix security and quality issues in your IDE
  • Enforce standards before your code reaches Git

By embedding trusted static analysis within your AI coding flow, Guardrails finally unlocks AI-driven development at scale.

What Would a Kubernetes 2.0 Look Like (13 minute read)

Kubernetes has revolutionized infrastructure management over the past decade, enabling scalable, self-healing, declarative systems, but it now faces critical usability and architectural limitations. A proposed Kubernetes 2.0 would replace YAML with HCL for safer, more expressive configs, support pluggable storage backends beyond etcd, introduce a native package manager to replace Helm, default to IPv6 networking, and emphasize better defaults to streamline user experience and reduce operational overhead.
