What is incident.io?

incident.io's agent now runs your team's own tools, with a human approval before any change.

Investigations, the agent that posts a root-cause hypothesis when an incident opens, is the center of incident.io; it went GA and then doubled its speed in September. In October the company pushed its agent skills out into coding harnesses, then opened Nexus to customers' own tools and know-how. The 10-28 release restates that extension model and adds an explicit step: any change the agent proposes waits for a human approval before it runs.

What is Terragrunt?

Terragrunt graduated six experiments at once and has spent three candidates stabilising them

Terragrunt is running the v1.1.0 release-candidate cycle, now at rc3. The first candidate completed six experiments simultaneously — stack-dependencies, a content-addressable store, a catalog redesign, mark-many-as-read, opt-out-auth and DAG queue display. The two candidates since have added only bug fixes for those features plus improvements to how releases are published and verified.

incident.io's agent now runs your team's own tools, with a human approval before any change.

◆ Current state

Investigations, the agent that posts a root-cause hypothesis when an incident opens, is the center of incident.io; it went GA and then doubled its speed in September. In October the company pushed its agent skills out into coding harnesses, then opened Nexus to customers' own tools and know-how. The 10-28 release restates that extension model and adds an explicit step: any change the agent proposes waits for a human approval before it runs.

◆ Where it's heading

incident.io is turning its agent into a two-way integration point that can act, not just diagnose. Skills go out to developers' agents, internal tools and team context come in, and the approval gate is what makes write access acceptable during an incident. Dashboards, ticket sync and alert routing keep incident.io as the record the agent reads from and writes to.

◆ Prediction

Expect worked examples for common connected systems such as deploy or feature-flag tools, and Investigations that propose concrete remediation steps for approval. The entries do not say how extensions are built or priced.

Terragrunt graduated six experiments at once and has spent three candidates stabilising them

◆ Current state

Terragrunt is running the v1.1.0 release-candidate cycle, now at rc3. The first candidate completed six experiments simultaneously — stack-dependencies, a content-addressable store, a catalog redesign, mark-many-as-read, opt-out-auth and DAG queue display. The two candidates since have added only bug fixes for those features plus improvements to how releases are published and verified.

◆ Where it's heading

The experiment-graduation model is doing what it is supposed to: features developed behind flags land together in one minor, and the candidate cycle is purely stabilisation. The release-publishing and verification work appearing in rc2 suggests supply-chain provenance is being treated as release-blocking rather than as a follow-up.

◆ Prediction

With three candidates carrying identical feature lists, v1.1.0 final is the likely next release, followed by a fresh batch of experiments opening for v1.2.
