Code Agents Need Observability

For those of us using tools like Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini, we already know they’re powerful. They can write code, refactor functions, open PRs, even run commands. For a lot of developers, they’re already part of the daily workflow. But once you zoom out beyond the individual developer, the biggest problem isn’t productivity. It’s control. AI coding tools are powerful, but they introduce a new, unpredictable cost layer that most teams don’t fully understand.

What is AI SRE? The Complete Guide to AI-Assisted Site Reliability Engineering

It's 2:47 AM. PagerDuty fires. You open a Slack alert and see: p99 latency spike on checkout-service. You SSH into the host, check dashboards in four tabs, grep logs for the last 20 minutes, and eventually find a slow query introduced in a deploy six hours ago. It took 34 minutes. You resolved it, w Prathamesh works as an evangelist at Last9, runs SRE stories - where SRE and DevOps folks share their stories, and maintains o11y.wiki - a glossary of all terms related to observability.

Capturing HTTP Request and Response Bodies in .NET Traces with PHI Redaction

> Standard OTel.NET instrumentation captures headers, status codes, and timing — not request or response bodies. Here's how to add body capture to your traces while keeping PHI out of your observability backend.

Cloud Security Best Practices Every Company Should Follow

Cloud adoption has accelerated dramatically over the past few years - and with it, so has the attack surface for cybercriminals.

How is Agentic AI fundamentally different from earlier automation?

Autonomous operations has been the goal for years. But most “automation” never got us there—it just helped teams keep up. Now that’s changing. Agentic AI introduces a fundamentally different model:– Purpose-built agents, not static workflows– Real-time decisioning, not predefined rules– Collaboration across agents, not isolated tasks Instead of automating steps, agentic AI enables systems to **reason, adapt, and act**—at a speed and scale humans simply can’t match. That’s what turns autonomous operations from a long-standing ambition into something actually achievable.
