Why continuous profiling is the fourth pillar of observability

Jul 25, 2025 By Marcus Hirt In Datadog

Developers have long used profilers to diagnose performance bottlenecks and improve the efficiency of their code. But a modern version of profiling, continuous profiling, is quietly redefining what profiling is and what it can do. By running nonstop in production with very low overhead, continuous profilers give teams always-on visibility into how their code behaves in the real world.

How AI Agents Reason, Act, and Automate at Scale

Jul 25, 2025 By John Capobianco In Selector

In our previous post, we explored the urgent need for intelligent automation in network automation, specifically how the Model Context Protocol (MCP) enables AI agents to dynamically discover and interact with the necessary tools. But access to tools is only part of the equation. To truly operate autonomously in complex environments, agents need not only connectivity but also intelligence.

SD-WAN, SASE, SSE, and the Coffee Shop Network: From Distraction to AI Superpower

Jul 25, 2025 By Teneo In Teneo

Back in 2018, I wondered (perhaps loudly if SD-WAN was just IT’s hype-of-the-year, destined for the same eye-rolls as signature-based antivirus and GDPR compliance drives. Even then, I knew we couldn’t let messaging fatigue blind us to real technology shifts. Fast-forward to 2025: SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) not only stuck around, but became the springboard to something far bigger – SASE (Secure Access Service Edge).
