Selector MCP and the Future of Modular Automation

Aug 1, 2025 By John Capobianco In Selector
In the first two parts of this series, we explored why modern network operations demand intelligent automation and how AI agents can reason, act, and collaborate to solve complex problems. We examined the frameworks – such as ReACT, LangGraph, and Pydantic – that power these agents, and how the Model Context Protocol (MCP) facilitates seamless integration with tools and services. But theory alone doesn’t improve network uptime or reduce manual toil.

Jaeger Monitoring: Essential Metrics and Alerting for Production Tracing Systems

Aug 1, 2025 By Anjali Udasi In Last9
Your Jaeger setup is running. Traces are coming in, and the UI is helping you spot slow services or debug broken flows.

Librato on Heroku is Going Away and Hosted Graphite Is the Better Next Step

Aug 1, 2025 By Benjamin Pitts In MetricFire
Librato (a SolarWinds product) is being sunsetted summer of 2025, and that directly affects Heroku teams who’ve relied on the Librato add-on for “good enough” visibility into dynos, routers, and Postgres. If you’re in that group, you’ll need a replacement monitoring add-on that keeps you covered on Heroku and lets you grow beyond it without re-architecting how you ship metrics.
