LLM Observability Explained: Prevent Hallucinations, Manage Drift, Control Costs

Large Language Models (LLMs) are transforming how businesses interact with users, automate workflows, and deliver insights in real time. But as powerful as these models are, running them at scale comes with unique challenges, from hallucinations and latency spikes to cost overruns and user trust issues.

Pastries with SREs: Leveling up observability and donut dunkability

In this episode of Pastries with SREs, we explore what it really means to shift left with observability, moving from reactive firefighting to proactive performance. And yes, it starts with donuts. We unpack how SREs and IT Ops teams are often stuck reacting to incidents, battling alert fatigue and swivel-chair triaging. But what if you could pull in developers earlier, and give everyone a unified view of observability data?

Get Better Data into Your SIEM - Data Onboarding

‍The Advantages of Onboarding a Wide Range of Security Data Sources Security teams know that better visibility comes from better data. Yet most organizations are forced to make trade-offs. They either limit the number of sources they bring in to control costs, or they accept ballooning ingestion bills for data that’s 80% noise. Neither approach sets the SOC up for success.

Paving the way for a new era: Mezmo's Active Telemetry

The world of software development has fundamentally changed. We've moved from monthly releases to continuous delivery measured in minutes, and the rise of AI means velocity is no longer just a goal—it's a requirement for survival. But this relentless speed has exposed a critical flaw in how we approach observability. The industry relies on a "store first, ask questions later" model where you collect every log, metric, and trace, and then hope to find the root cause when something breaks.

Best Web Transaction Monitoring Tools in 2025

Websites are no longer static pages. They’re dynamic, transaction-heavy ecosystems where every click, form submission, and login matters.

That’s where web transaction monitoring tools come in — a critical component to make sure every interaction goes smoothly.

The telemetry time bomb - and what to do about it

Telemetry data is growing at an average of 29% a year — doubling costs every 18 months. That’s putting pressure on ITOps budgets, observability platforms, SecOps teams, and SIEM deployments alike. In this post, we’ll explore how unchecked data volumes, siloed tools, and aging architectures are creating a telemetry cost crunch that limits visibility, slows both troubleshooting and threat detection, and impacts business outcomes.
