An Easy Guide to Getting Started with Elastic APM

Code in production will break. Maybe a request takes too long, maybe it fails quietly, or maybe it works fine one minute and falls over the next. Logs can help, sure—but they don’t always show the full picture, especially when performance issues are involved. Elastic APM gives you a clearer view. It traces what your application is doing from incoming requests to database queries and everything in between.

No Sandwich, No Security: What This Week's Lunch Taught Me About DNS Blind Spots

Like many shoppers in the UK this week, I found myself staring at half-empty shelves in my local grocery store. In a small but frustrating twist, my usual sandwich, chicken mayo on malted bread, was nowhere to be found.

Introducing Bits AI SRE, your AI on-call teammate

An alert fires and teams scramble to find the root cause, relying on siloed knowledge, incomplete context, and a few on-call experts who are already stretched thin. The rise of AI coding agents has only intensified this challenge: As teams ship code faster with less human oversight, production systems grow increasingly complex and harder to understand.

Create and monitor LLM experiments with Datadog

To efficiently optimize your LLM application before pushing to production, you need a comprehensive testing and evaluation framework. By running experiments, you can optimize prompts, fine-tune temperature and other key parameters, test complex agent architectures, and understand how your application may respond to atypical, complex, or adversarial inputs. However, it can be difficult to manage your experiment runs and aggregate the results for meaningful analysis.
