The New Stack is a publication covering trends and technologies in cloud-native development, DevOps, and software delivery. Developers can learn about containerization, Kubernetes, and cloud computing, as well as explore topics such as microservices architecture, serverless computing, and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.

AI coding assistants help developers write code faster, but enterprises aren't shipping software faster because coding represents only 10-20% of developer time. The real bottleneck is in code reviews, pipeline runs, security scans, and compliance checks—areas largely untouched by AI automation. GitLab's Duo Agent Platform aims to address this by automating the full software development lifecycle with agentic workflows that leverage context from issue trackers, bug reports, pipeline history, and security scans. The platform approach consolidates tools and context, avoiding the silos created by point solutions while bringing automation to the 80-90% of developer time currently spent waiting on downstream processes.
