Supercharge your LLM Using Production Data Context

Are your LLM coding agents (like Cursor or Claude Code) hallucinating fixes because they don't know what's actually happening in production? In this video, Matt from Speedscale shows you how to bridge the gap between your local IDE and live production traffic using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Most observability tools just give you telemetry. Speedscale’s MCP server gives your agent the "inner workings" of actual API calls and payloads, so it can check its assumptions against reality. No more "vibe-coding" and hoping it works; let your agent find the 500 errors and rate limits for you.

Let Your LLM Debug Using Production Recordings

Modern LLM coding agents are great at reading code, but they still make assumptions. When something breaks in production, those assumptions can slow you down—especially when the real issue lives in live traffic, API responses, or database behavior. In this post, I’ll walk through how to connect an MCP server to your LLM coding assistant so it can pull real production data on demand, validate its assumptions, and help you debug faster.

AI SRE in Practice: Resolving GPU Hardware Failures in Seconds

When a pod fails during a TensorFlow training job, the investigation usually starts with the obvious questions. The answers rarely come quickly, especially when the failure involves GPU hardware that most engineers don’t troubleshoot regularly. This scenario walks through an actual GPU hardware failure and shows how AI-augmented investigation changes both the time to resolution and the expertise required to handle it.

Cloud Strategy for 2026: the Year of Repatriation, Resilience, and Regional Rebalancing

This year is set to be a pivotal year for cloud strategy, with repatriation gaining momentum due to shifting legislative, geopolitical, and technological pressures. This trend has accelerated, with a growing focus on data sovereignty. These challenges have set the stage for 2026 to be the year of repatriation, resilience, and regional rebalancing. Here, Rob Coupland, Chief Executive Officer at Pulsant, offers his insights.

Speedscale vs. LocalStack for Realistic Mocks

API mocking plays a crucial role in modern software development allowing developers to simulate external API endpoints. It’s an effective way to isolate your application for testing and ensure that code changes don’t inadvertently break critical dependencies. Essentially, API mocking helps you create robust, reliable software by allowing you to test how your application interacts with external services.

How to Do Full-Text Search Across All Application Traffic with Speedscale

Modern DevOps observability tools are excellent for monitoring system health, tracking distributed traces, and aggregating metrics. However, they lack the fidelity needed for full-text search across application traffic. While observability platforms excel at showing what happened and when, they often fall short when you need to find where a specific piece of data (like an email address, user ID, or transaction token) appears as it flows through your entire application stack.

A buyer's guide to engineering intelligence platforms in 2026

You're in a planning meeting when someone asks a simple question. How long does it actually take your team to ship a feature? You've got spreadsheets, Git logs, and Jira exports scattered across three tabs, and you still can't give a confident answer. It's a question you should be able to answer instantly, but the data lives in too many places to stitch together on the fly.
