AI Won't Be Productive By Default (And That's OK)

Jul 7, 2025 By Adam Tankanow In CloudZero
Remember when we thought deploying from our laptops was efficient? When FTPing files directly to production at 2 AM felt like peak productivity? We’ve been here before. As AI transforms how we write code, we’re about to learn the same lesson all over again — but this time with much bigger bills.

Instrument LangChain and LangGraph Apps with OpenTelemetry

Jul 7, 2025 By Anjali Udasi In Last9
In our previous blog, we talked about how LangChain and LangGraph help structure your agent’s behavior. But structure isn’t the same as visibility. This one’s about fixing that. Not with more logs. Not with generic dashboards. You need to see what your agent did, step by step, tool by tool, so you can understand how a simple query turned into a long, expensive run.

Prometheus Group By Label: Advanced Aggregation Techniques for Monitoring

Jul 7, 2025 By Faiz Shaikh In Last9
Your Prometheus dashboard shows 847 CPU metrics. The alert fired—but is the problem in us-east or us-west? You're trying to rule out whether that new feature caused a latency spike, but the sheer number of time series isn’t helping. Grouping can make this manageable. By organizing metrics by shared label values, you can quickly spot which service or region is behaving differently, without digging through every metric.

What CISOs Get Wrong About Vulnerability Scanning-and How Exposure Management Fixes It

What CISOs Get Wrong About Vulnerability Scanning-and How Exposure Management Fixes It

Jul 7, 2025 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
Many CISOs managing critical infrastructure mistakenly treat vulnerability scanning as a complete solution for cyber risk reduction. While these scans are essential, relying on them alone leaves critical systems exposed to modern, sophisticated threats. Scans provide a snapshot in time-not a full picture of risk. As attackers become more agile and stealthy, this limited visibility creates blind spots, especially in high-risk industries like energy, healthcare, and telecommunications. That's where exposure management in cybersecurity steps in-not as a replacement, but as a vital evolution.
