Most organizations don't fail at disaster recovery because they lack technology.

The AI Productivity Paradox: We're Measuring the Gains and Missing the Costs | Harness Blog

For the past year, I've been hearing a version of the same thing from engineering leaders: AI tools are working, productivity is up, the business case is there. And yet, something about the picture still feels incomplete. So we decided to go find out how widespread that feeling actually is.

Replay Real Customer API Sessions as Datadog Synthetics Tests

A customer pings support: "I tried to check out twice this morning and got a 500 each time, but it works fine for everyone else." The session ID is in the email. You have full request/response capture in your environment, you have Datadog Synthetics already running browser checks against the same flow, and you still spend the next two hours grepping logs because none of those tools let you say "show me just this user's requests, in order, and re-run them."
