🚀 Coming soon: The 2026 AI Pulse Report We're excited to share our upcoming research examining AI adoption and its impact on developer productivity and workforce trends. Our analysis of primary survey data combined with industry research reveals some surprising findings: 📊 What you'll discover: ✔️ Real productivity gains: Junior developers complete tasks up to 55% faster with AI, driving increased job satisfaction across teams. ✔️ Shifting hiring patterns: 73% of organizations have reduced the number of junior developer positions over the past two years. ✔️ A new bottleneck emerges: AI excels at code generation but creates capacity constraints as senior developers handle increased review volume. ✔️ Pipeline concerns ahead: With 5-7 years needed to develop senior expertise, reduced junior hiring today may create talent shortages tomorrow. The report also highlights how Continuous Delivery practices provide a sustainable path for scaling AI value beyond individual productivity gains. 👉 Register to get early access: oc.to/publications/ai-pulse-…

There are many ways to orchestrate deployments for Argo CD, and teams commonly build in-house solutions with bespoke scripting and CI/CD tools. However, these tools aren't designed to handle CD complexities like Octopus can.

You remove the need for manual processes and custom scripts, and make life easier for your developers and platform teams with automated environment promotion, a centralized dashboard, and enterprise compliance built-in. Tune in on Thursday, October 23, 2025, 12pm PST / 3pm EDT to see how it all works. You’ll also see the feature in action and ask questions live! Register here ➡️ streamyard.com/watch/SgQfwvN…

Before using Octopus, Eurofins’ delivery process included time-consuming, manual steps. With 950 labs across 60 countries, Eurofins IT teams needed a centralized way to tailor, orchestrate, and automate hundreds of complex software deployments at scale. Using Octopus, IT teams across the Eurofins network now conduct hundreds of deployments a day. They orchestrate complex deployments to different locations, all with Octopus, and they’ve matured their deployment pipelines, automating and standardizing processes across the organization.
