Two ways to measure the cumulative impact of experiments

Aug 18, 2026 By Lukas Goetz-Weiss In Datadog
Mature experimentation programs eventually have to report the cumulative impact of their shipped changes. The request might come as an ROI story for leadership, a revenue update for finance, or a gut check on the quarter’s progress. The tempting shortcut is to sum the observed lift from each winning experiment and report the total. That naive sum almost always overstates the truth because of a statistical artifact called the winner’s curse.

Olly says Hi: Scheduled tasks now report to Slack and email

Aug 18, 2026 By Chris Cooney In Coralogix
An agent that only speaks when spoken to is a tool you have to remember to use. Olly has run on a schedule for a while now, working a saved prompt hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly and writing its findings into a chat with its own run history. Those scheduled tasks are now wired into the Coralogix Notification Center, so Olly delivers that output itself, allowing Olly to reach out to Slack or email, out of the box.

From retrieval to agents: 5 takeaways on production architecture for AI agents

Aug 18, 2026 By Sri Desikan In Elastic
How context engineering creates production-ready agentic AI What if the AI strategy you spent the past year building is already being measured by a completely different set of rules? I recently joined Amy Machado, senior research manager at IDC and Jim Malone, senior contributing editor at CIO Marketing Services, for a webinar where we explored how buyer expectations, architectural requirements, and evaluation criteria are shifting as enterprises move from search-driven experiences to agentic AI.

7 Data Integrity Practices Vlaximux Limited Recommends for Platforms Managing High Message Volumes

7 Data Integrity Practices Vlaximux Limited Recommends for Platforms Managing High Message Volumes

Aug 18, 2026 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
The assumption that integrity problems are primarily a storage or architecture problem is one of the most expensive misconceptions in platform operations. Vlaximux Limited addresses this directly. Storage and architecture matter - but the majority of integrity failures at high message volumes are operational failures: inconsistent write patterns, missing validation logic, race conditions that only surface under load, and monitoring gaps that allow silent data corruption to compound over weeks before it is detected.

Incident IQ outage announcements are now dismissible

Aug 17, 2026 By Valeria Kurolapova In StatusGator
We’ve made a small improvement to our Incident IQ integration: users can now dismiss the outage announcement bar. When the outage announcement bar is enabled, Incident IQ can automatically display an alert at the top of your portal whenever a monitored service experiences an outage. With this update, you can add a close button so users can dismiss the announcement once they’ve seen it.

Run an AI SRE Agent Entirely Inside AWS with Bedrock and S3: AURA

Aug 17, 2026 By Mezmo In Mezmo
An on-call question returns the threshold and the escalation owner from your own runbooks, and the answer comes back without a call to anyone outside. AURA runs against Bedrock as its model provider, using Claude Sonnet 5 served by AWS in the same region. Authentication is the normal AWS credential chain: a profile on a laptop, an IAM role in EKS.

Debug AI agents wherever they run, from Slack bots to code review with Sentry's Agent Tracing

Aug 17, 2026 By Sentry In Sentry
Agent Tracing shows the full execution path of an AI agent: the model call, every tool invocation and its arguments, token counts, cost, and the span where it broke. Same traces and spans you already use, with agent-specific attributes on top. Serge walks through three apps — a Next.js e-commerce agent using the AI SDK with a failing tool call, a Slack bot built with Eve that orders lunch, and a code review agent built with Flue over MCP.
