How to Reduce Your Cloud Costs with Coroot

Nov 26, 2025 By Alexander Lamberton In Coroot
Cloud costs often grow quietly until they suddenly command everyone’s attention. Gartner estimates that companies overspend on cloud services by up to 70 percent, mostly because they lack clear visibility into where the money is actually being spent. Cloud invoices speak the language of infrastructure: nodes, instance types, regions, volumes, and egress. Engineering teams speak the language of services, deployments, and code.

AI and DevOps in 2025: How Autonomous Engineering Will Transform Software Operations and Reliability

Nov 26, 2025 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
DevOps started as a way to break down barriers between development and operations, but by 2025 the movement has shifted into something far more ambitious. Instead of simply speeding up releases or tightening workflows, companies are now adopting autonomous engineering systems-tools powered by AI that don't just support DevOps practices but actually carry them out.

What's Special About MCP?

Nov 24, 2025 By Jessica Kerr (Jessitron) In Honeycomb
AI agents can interact with the world using tools. Those tools can be generic or specific. For example: Generic: Specific: The most general ones, like “run a bash command” and “read and write files” are built into the agent. More specific ones are provided through Model Control Protocol (MCP) servers. Every tool provided to the agent comes with instructions sent as part of the context.

Side-by-Side Variable Comparison for Snapshot Debugging

Nov 24, 2025 By Jeff Zapotoczny In Lightrun
When you’re debugging a tricky issue in a distributed system, “what changed?” is often the most important question. You add logs, you capture data, you redeploy, and suddenly your browser is full of open tabs, copied JSON blobs, and screenshots of log lines. Comparing behavior between two requests, two users, or two releases turns into a manual, error-prone chore. Lightrun Snapshots were built to fix the data collection side of that story.

Top 7 Observability Platforms That Auto-Discover Services

Nov 21, 2025 By Anjali Udasi In Last9
You can use an observability platform that automatically discovers your services and provides ready-to-use dashboards with minimal setup. If you're running a system where microservices come and go, containers shift around, or serverless functions scale up quickly, this kind of experience saves you a lot of time. You gain visibility as soon as something goes live, without requiring any additional steps on your part. In this blog, we talk about the top seven platforms that offer these capabilities.

Use OpenTelemetry with Observability Pipelines for vendor-neutral log collection and cost control

Nov 20, 2025 By Micah Kim In Datadog
Today, many DevOps and security teams operate in a world of complex, hybrid, or multi-vendor environments. As more teams look to avoid lock-in by adopting open standards, OpenTelemetry (OTel) is quickly gaining adoption as the primary open source method for DevOps and security teams to instrument and aggregate their telemetry data. However, OTel alone may lack the advanced processing functions, native volume control rules, and hybrid environment support that large organizations need.

AI Observability: How to Keep LLMs, RAG, and Agents Reliable in Production

Nov 20, 2025 By Sofia Burton In LogicMonitor
AI observability closes the gap between “something’s wrong” and “here’s what to fix.” If you run AI in production, you might have felt the whiplash. Yesterday, your LLM answered in 300 milliseconds (ms). Today p99 crawls, costs spike, and nobody’s sure if the culprit is model behavior, data freshness, or GPUs stuck at the ceiling. Dashboards light up, but they don’t tell you which issue puts customers at risk. That’s the gap AI observability closes.
