Discover why CI/CD pipelines weren’t built for today’s testing realities. As AI-driven development accelerates release cycles, traditional CI/CD pipelines are buckling under the weight of automated testing, leading to slower feedback, brittle environments, and rising infrastructure costs.

The truth is, CI/CD was designed for builds and deployments, not large-scale test execution. In this webinar, we’ll unpack why cloud-native leaders are moving beyond legacy pipelines and how purpose-built continuous testing platforms are helping teams achieve both speed and quality.

What attendees will learn during the webinar:

• Understand the architectural limits of CI/CD and how AI-driven development and rapid release cycles expose gaps in scalability, visibility, and reliability.
• Learn how leading engineering orgs unify test insights across tools, eliminate flaky environments with Kubernetes-native approaches, and cut infrastructure costs through smarter resource allocation.
• Discover how purpose-built continuous testing platforms, designed for speed, scale, and AI-enhanced delivery, are redefining how teams balance quality with velocity.

Ole Lensmar - CTO @ Testkube

Ole started building with XML APIs in the late 90s and has since then worked with multiple technologies and startups, most notably as creator of SoapUI in 2004 and Chairman of the Swagger / OpenAPI Initiative in 2015. He joined Testkube at its inception in 2021 and is now entirely focused on ensuring its success at bringing continuous testing to the cloud-native space. When not at his laptop he can be found playing a guitar or riding a bike, but rarely both at the same time.

Modern software has a lot of dependencies: software libraries, OS packages, container images, and orchestration scripts. At scale artifact registries become a bottleneck, slowing down CI/CD pipelines and decreasing developer efficiency. Caching artifacts near where they’re needed reduces latency, cost, and load. Learn how to leverage artifact caching by deploying a Virtual Registry.

• Identify and eliminate artifact bottlenecks in CI/CD pipelines & development workflows
• Reduce latency, scale dependency resolution and boost developer productivity by using the artifact caching capabilities of a virtual registry
• Cut egress, infrastructure, and license costs while scaling artifact registries.

Do you really need to spin up dozens of near-prod environments to support your developers? Spoiler: you don't.

Most teams spin up isolated development environments for each developer which are expensive, hard to maintain, and often not even faithful to production. In this webinar, we'll show you how mirrord lets every developer safely treat your shared staging environment as their own, directly from their local machine. No more sky-high infra bills. No more surprise bugs in prod.

Join us to learn how you can:

• Let devs test against staging safely, without affecting each other's work
• Run code locally but have it behave like it was running in your staging environment
• Reduce infra complexity and cost by consolidating environments

After a 30-minute talk there’ll be a 15-minute Q&A, for which we encourage you to submit questions in advance.
A webinar recording and related materials will be shared with all attendees after the event.
