Evaluating our AI Guard application to improve quality and control cost

This article is part of our series on how Datadog’s engineering teams use LLM Observability to build, monitor, and improve AI-powered systems. Organizations are building AI agents that help users automate work, analyze data, and interact with complex systems through natural language. As these agents become more capable, they also become more complex and exposed to risks such as prompt injection, data leaks, and unsafe code execution.

From Chef to Chief Architect: Navigating the Intersection of AI and Data Security | Harness Blog

In the world of enterprise software, the transition from traditional DevOps to modern AI-driven delivery is less like a flip of a switch and more like a high-stakes kitchen. As Devan Shah, Chief Architect at IBM, puts it: the ingredients have changed from food to code, but the need for a precise, governed process remains the same.

Getting started with Claude Code and CircleCI

AI-powered coding tools are changing how developers work. Tools like Claude Code can write functions, refactor code, and build features through natural conversation, often faster than you could type them yourself. But speed creates its own risks. AI-generated code can contain subtle bugs, reference packages that don’t exist, or misuse APIs in ways that only surface at runtime. That’s where continuous integration comes in. CI is a safety net that lets you move fast confidently.

AI SRE in Practice: Accelerating Engineer Onboarding with Contextual Expertise

Onboarding new engineers to complex Kubernetes environments is expensive. Junior engineers need to learn cluster architecture, understand organizational conventions, navigate internal documentation, and build relationships with senior team members who can answer questions. The process takes weeks or months, and during that time, senior engineers spend significant time mentoring instead of working on complex problems.

When Technology Failures Become Securities Litigation Risks

When a company's systems crash or a breach hits, it often looks like lawsuits appear out of nowhere. The real issue is that even a single tech failure can shake customers, stall revenue, and erode investor confidence. Many businesses downplay risks they already know about, leaving shareholders feeling misled when problems explode publicly. That gap between internal awareness and external disclosure is exactly what opens the door to securities litigation, turning tech troubles into legal and financial fallout almost instantly.

How LogicMonitor Delivers AI Cost Optimization

LogicMonitor delivers AI cost optimization by unifying infrastructure telemetry, AI-specific signals, and cloud financial data into a single workflow, so teams can move from visibility to continuous, operationalized cost control. In Cost Optimization for AI Workloads: From Visibility to Control, we explored why AI workloads introduce new layers of cost complexity—from GPU-heavy compute and token-based pricing to distributed infrastructure that obscures true spend.
