RocketRide

Rod rolled a live pipeline back from v2 to v1 in one click. The Ops in AI-Ops is coming to Cloud. Plus six events across India and SF, and Outside Our Orbit: the AI router got bought, Claude's invisible watermark, and encrypted inference.

A DVR for your pipelines is coming to Cloud: pause any past run, rewind it, and watch the failure happen. Plus our field guide to six agent orchestration platforms, and the first Outside Our Orbit, DeepSeek's price hike, Meta's return to open weights, and Claude Code going hands-free.

Idle GPUs bill you for doing nothing. On Cloud, compute shows up when your pipeline runs and the meter stops when it's done. Plus the Memory Meets Motion podium from Frontier Tower, and Rocket Ralph, the RAG pipeline answering our Discord while the team sleeps.

This week's lead is for developers who review the diff twice before merging. Your pipeline ships byte for byte, exactly as you tested it. We also wrap two hackathons with one prize still open, preview Memory Meets Motion next Monday, and share a new blog post on process isolation.

The new RocketRide Cloud Starter plan just landed, full harness included. Also in this issue: our HackwithSeattle 2.0 winners, where to find us in Palo Alto this Saturday, and a post on why a pipeline should stay a file you own while someone else does the running.

First up, observability that doesn't disappear when your pipeline leaves your laptop. Then the recap from Bay Builders Hackathon, where teams built whole AI companies in a day, plus our Seattle stop this Friday. And to wrap, why the model stopped being the hard part of the stack.

The model was never the hard part. Keeping the harness around it alive was. RocketRide Cloud handles that, reachable by any agent. In this issue: why that matters, a recap of HackwithBay 3.0 and its thoughtful agents, and our latest OSS release.

The AI ground keeps shifting, and most teams feel every tremor. RocketRide is the layer that absorbs it, and this issue it gets real: Cloud opens for early access so you ship with zero infrastructure, we build with you at HackwithBay 3.0 in SF, and we make the case for a swappable model.

A lot has happened since our last edition. RocketRide Cloud and AIDE went live at SHACK15, an exciting milestone. We also break down why MCP is the missing link in many agent stacks. Plus, our first Community Spotlight features FitCheck, who cut their run times in half on RocketRide. Enjoy. 🚀

One more sleep until Launch Night🚀. Tomorrow we take over Shack15 for live AI demos, builders, and conversations shaping what's next. In this edition: meet our sponsors, learn how to submit your project in Discord, and tune into Harness Radio Episode 1. See you tomorrow night.
