The pager shouldn't be what starts the investigation

Authored by Greg Janco, Engineering Manager at Mezmo I've always thought there was something backwards about incident response. An alert fires at 3 a.m. PagerDuty does its job. Somebody wakes up, grabs a laptop, connects to the VPN, opens the alert, and then starts answering the same basic questions we ask at the beginning of almost every incident. What changed? What else is broken? Have we seen this before? Some of those need a human eventually. A lot of the first pass doesn't.

10 Top Website Monitoring Tools for Uptime, Page Speed and Real User Data

Your uptime tool reports the site as available all month. Support reports something else, because customers in one region spent the morning unable to complete a checkout. Both records are accurate, and that is the problem. An external check confirms the page answered. It cannot tell you that the answer took nine seconds for everyone routed through one CDN edge, or what caused the delay.

Build and run Datadog workflows from Bits Chat or AI agents

Teams use AI coding agents and Bits Chat to troubleshoot systems and handle complex tasks, often uncovering repetitive work worth automating. But turning those routines into workflows can still require switching tools and recreating context manually. Through the Datadog MCP Server, Workflow Automation now lets you build workflows from Bits Chat or AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.

What to Know About AI Code-to-Merge Platforms

AI coding agents can generate pull requests at a pace your team has never seen. The bottleneck has shifted from writing code to everything that follows: reviewing, iterating, and merging. AI code-to-merge platforms are the category of tools built to manage that entire lifecycle, from the moment an agent starts working to the moment code lands in your main branch. This article walks through ten questions you should ask before committing to a platform.

Making Shared GPUs Even Safer with Kubex and HAMi-core

Table of Contents A few months ago, we introduced Kubex support for the KAI Scheduler to improve GPU sharing for production inference workloads. The basic model is simple: The KAI Scheduler handles placement and GPU sharing. Kubex continuously observes usage and adjusts those allocations as demand changes. KAI provides the scheduling foundation. It lets multiple workloads share a GPU while accounting for the amount of GPU each workload requests. Kubex then closes the loop.

How to automate sending and receiving faxes in IT processes? APIs, webhooks, integrations

It's true that fax in 2026 may seem like a technology out of place in today's DevOps environments. However, it's also true that in many regulated industries - it's still a key part of document workflows. The problem isn't necessarily the communication channel itself, but rather how it's handled. Traditional fax requires devices, phone lines, and manual document processing. API integration allows you to migrate this process to a software environment and connect it with existing systems. Curious? Let's dive in.
