Apr 26, 2026 By Prathamesh Sonpatki In Last9
It's 2:47 AM. PagerDuty fires. You open a Slack alert and see: p99 latency spike on checkout-service. You SSH into the host, check dashboards in four tabs, grep logs for the last 20 minutes, and eventually find a slow query introduced in a deploy six hours ago. It took 34 minutes. You resolved it, w Prathamesh works as an evangelist at Last9, runs SRE stories - where SRE and DevOps folks share their stories, and maintains o11y.wiki - a glossary of all terms related to observability.

Agentic AI introduces a fundamentally different model:– Purpose-built agents, not static workflows– Real-time decisioning, not predefined rules– Collaboration across agents, not isolated tasks Instead of automating steps, agentic AI enables systems to **reason, adapt, and act**—at a speed and scale humans simply can’t match. That’s what turns autonomous operations from a long-standing ambition into something actually achievable.

For that, you’ve traditionally needed to SSH into the box, connect to the database, and run diagnostic queries manually. Or set up a separate database monitoring tool entirely.
