Ephemeral Leaks and Automated BGP Route Leak Detection

Apr 15, 2026 By Doug Madory In Kentik
Many BGP route leaks reported by automated detection systems are actually brief, low-impact artifacts of normal BGP convergence. Doug Madory examines examples from Cloudflare Radar, Routeviews, and Jared Mauch’s long-running leak detector to show how these “ephemeral leaks” arise, why they usually don’t disrupt traffic, and why they still matter for routing security.

N+1 Detection in AppSignal's OpenTelemetry Trace Timeline

Apr 15, 2026 By Karen Patteri de Souza In AppSignal
N+1 query problems are one of the most common, and quietly damaging, performance issues in production applications. One extra query per record feels harmless in development. At scale, it becomes the reason your response times degrade and your database buckles under load. Today, AppSignal adds N+1 detection to its OpenTelemetry support. When we identify the pattern in a trace, we collapse the repetitive spans directly in the timeline, making the problem immediately visible in the trace itself.

Beyond the pull request: why code review is not infrastructure validation

Apr 15, 2026 By Upsun In Upsun
Code review and infrastructure validation are distinct problems. While AI can review syntax, only an active, data-complete environment can validate system-wide state. Upsun provides the unified configuration file needed to turn "looks good to me" into verified production-readiness.

Beyond the Prompt: AI Agent Design Patterns and the New Governance Gap

Apr 15, 2026 By Alister Baroi In Tigera
If you are treating Large Language Models (LLMs) like simple question-and-answer machines, you are leaving their most transformative potential on the table. The industry has officially shifted from zero-shot prompting to structured AI agent design patterns and agentic workflows where AI iteratively reasons, uses external tools, and collaborates to solve complex engineering problems.

Grave improvements: Native crash postmortems via Android tombstones

Apr 15, 2026 By Mischan Toosarani-Hausberger In Sentry
Native crashes on Android have always been harder to debug than they should be. The platform has its own crash reporter (debuggerd) that captures the crashing thread, every other running thread, register state, and memory maps into a file called a tombstone. Tombstones have been a part of Android for a long time; in fact, they’ve been there in one form or another since Android's first commit.

What Is an AI SRE? And Why Do They Need Live Runtime Evidence?

Apr 15, 2026 By Lightrun Team In Lightrun
AI SREs are autonomous systems that handle incident triage, root cause analysis, and remediation by correlating logs, metrics, traces, and code signals. However, as they rely on pre-configured telemetry, the critical execution details of a specific failure, such as variable state and code paths, can often be missed. As a result, they either force users into manual redeploy loops or make inferences from partial data, diagnosing issues using probability rather than proof.
