The AI-Empowered Site Reliability Engineer: Automating the Balance of Risk and Velocity

You might expect an AI-SRE agent to target 100% reliable services, ones that never fail. It turns out that past a certain point, however, increasing reliability is worse for a service (and its users) rather than better! Extreme reliability comes at a non-linear cost: maximizing stability limits how fast new features can be developed, dramatically increases the operational cost, and reduces the features a team can afford to offer.

How Honeycomb Supercharges OpenTelemetry for AI

It has become common knowledge that the nature of software development has changed as AI-code generation and agent-based features gain adoption. In perhaps a more subtle shift, the fundamentals of software instrumentation are changing too. As OpenTelemetry becomes the standard instrumentation layer across enterprises, with thousands of developers (many from Honeycomb) actively contributing to it, the nature of the telemetry data captured itself is evolving to meet the growing demand for rich context.

Kiro Can Now Reason With Lightrun's Live Runtime Context

AI code generation is fast. Making it reliable requires runtime context. Today, Kiro gains live runtime visibility with the Lightrun MCP. This grounds AI-assisted development in how code actually behaves at runtime. Kiro, the AI coding assistant from the teams at AWS, is built for velocity and intuition. It moves from specification to production with speed and structure, helping teams turn intent into working code. But until now, like every AI coding assistant, Kiro had a major blind spot.

The Human-Centric Stack: Why Logs Are the Great Equalizer in the Age of AI

In 2026, we are seeing incredible feats of engineering with agentic AI, impacting metrics and distributed traces that map thousands of microservices. Our systems have never been more intelligent and complex. However, as our observability becomes more intelligent, fewer employees know how to manage and troubleshoot complex systems. These employees, who often bear the brunt of an error’s impact, may need to rely on specialists to interpret the system.

Voice AI: The Missing Link in Your Agentforce Strategy

Despite the enterprise-wide pivot toward digital deflection, voice remains the primary escalation channel for high-complexity customer issues. Yet, while organizations rigorously optimize digital touchpoints, telephony frequently remains a siloed legacy endpoint, disconnected from the broader CRM architecture. This integration gap creates a strategic blind spot that fundamentally undermines your digital roadmap.

We Built an MCP Server

When I joined Kubex last year, the company was already well aware of the growing power of Large Language Models. As a company focused on intelligent resource optimization for Kubernetes, GPUs, and cloud infrastructure, generative AI didn’t feel like a threat so much as a natural extension of where the industry was heading. Kubex had already invested heavily in machine learning, but it was becoming clear that foundation models could unlock an entirely new class of capabilities for our customers.

(Tech Talk) Shipping with Context Knowledge Graphs as the Backbone of AI-First Software Delivery

Knowledge graphs are essential to solving the context bottleneck in AI-First software delivery, which occurs because workflows, policies, and dependencies are siloed and invisible to AI agents. In this Tech Talk, Prateek Mittal ((Product Director of AI Core and Data Platform at Harness)) discusses the key concepts: Knowledge Graphs vs. Observability: Observability tells you "what is happening," while knowledge graphs tell you "what does that mean" by modeling structured relationships. They work together to link live signals to affected services or SLAs.
