Consider a platform team that spends four months building a thorough migration plan. Its pilot, a stateless order-status API, runs on AWS within three weeks. Six months later, that API is still the only workload in the cloud. In this scenario, the blockers are not exotic technical failures.

Most engineering teams track exactly one incident response metric, and it is usually MTTR. It appears on the quarterly slide, it goes up or down by a few minutes, someone says "we need to bring that down," and nothing about the next incident changes. The problem is not that teams measure the wrong thing out of laziness. The problem is that incident response metrics are genuinely hard to design, and a single average duration is the easiest number to produce from an incident tracker.

LogicMonitor Synthetics and Internet Performance Monitoring helps ITOps teams catch digital experience issues earlier with outside-in visibility across apps, networks, APIs, and SaaS.

Internet Performance Monitoring detected the AWS outages before AWS acknowledged them. Learn why independent, outside-in monitoring is critical to faster incident response.

Legacy systems, cloud growth, and AI are reshaping government IT. See how connected visibility helps teams respond faster and keep essential services running.

When you get paged at 3am, it takes about 30 seconds for the notification to reach you and maybe two minutes until you're in front of a laptop, awake enough to read. What you see then is usually a raw alert. A metric name, a threshold, a link to a dashboard. Then the ritual starts: open the dashboard, check what deployed in the last few hours, grep the logs for the first error, ask in Slack whether anyone touched the database. ‍ Most of that time is search.

One of the features I have been wanting in Kepler for a long time was the ability to use Pi as my agent when spinning up tasks. Pi is such a minimal harness that it doesn’t prompt for approval for every little thing and it’s system prompt let’s the model just be itself. That minimalism comes at a cost, though. Pi doesn’t have ACP support out of the box, so that means we haven’t been able to officially support it in Kepler, yet.
