Offline evaluation for AI agents: Best practices

If you’re building LLM-powered applications and agents, you’ve probably asked yourself: “How do I know if my changes actually made things better?” You can tweak prompts, adjust temperature settings, or try different models, but it’s not always easy to validate whether version B’s response is better than version A’s. Most teams fly blind in preproduction and rely on user feedback to see how well their application works in the real world.

The 5 Types of Service Desk Automation Platforms and What Each One Actually Does

Shopping for a service desk automation platform feels like it should be straightforward. It isn't, and the reason is that the language vendors use masks how differently these platforms actually behave once they're live. Every platform claims that they automate more, resolve faster, and reduce ticket volume. That’s a given.

Next.js Overview Dashboard: Monitor Performance Beyond Errors

Building with Next.js and using Sentry? Our team put together a dedicated Next.js Overview Dashboard that gives you a full picture of your application's health, not just errors. Out of the box, the dashboard covers page loads, API latency, issue counts, performance scores, rage and dead clicks, and slow SSR. Since Next.js runs on both client and server, you get a breakdown of client transactions, server transactions, and your SSR file tree all in one place.

Fewer Tools, Faster Fixes: A Practical Guide to Observability Consolidation

Most observability stacks aren’t designed, they accumulate. A logging tool here, a tracing platform there, and before you know it you’re managing rising costs and a setup that ultimately slows down your team. And you’ve moved further away from actually solving problems for your users.

User Feedback to Pull Request in Minutes with Cursor + Sentry

Cursor Automations + Sentry Triggers: go from user feedback to a pull request automatically. See how to set up an end-to-end workflow that turns feedback into code changes, posts the PR to Slack, and keeps your team in the loop. In this video, we walk through a real-world example using Sentry Docs. A user submits feedback through a widget on the docs site, it lands in Sentry as an issue, and when assigned, a Cursor Automation kicks off. The automation reads the feedback, validates it, generates a PR against the repo, and posts the link in the relevant Slack thread. No manual work required.

What is Sovereign Cloud? What Engineers and IT Leaders Need to Know

A sovereign cloud is a cloud environment that keeps data, infrastructure, and access under the control of a specific country or region. It lets organizations meet strict data residency and privacy laws without giving up cloud speed, automation, or modern DevOps practices. As regulations tighten and AI adoption grows, sovereign cloud is becoming the go‑to model for governments, regulated industries, and global enterprises that need both compliance and agility.

Your Cloud Economics Pulse For April 2026

Welcome to April’s Cloud Economics Pulse, CloudZero’s monthly look at cloud spend as AI moves from cost problem to strategic commitment. March’s Pulse called 4.01% a record. It lasted all of 31 days. Why? February’s billing data came in at 4.84% aggregate AI/ML share. That’s another high, another acceleration. You’ve heard it before and it’s getting a bit boring now, but the story isn’t in the numbers; it’s now in the behavior.

Incident Response Is Broken Without Stakeholders in the Loop

Yet status pages are not enough for modern incident communication. In incident response, the conversation has traditionally centered on speed and resolution – how quickly teams can detect, escalate, and fix issues. But in practice, incidents don’t exist in a vacuum. They ripple outward, affecting customers, executives, partners, compliance teams, and even public perception. That broader circle – the stakeholders – is often underserved by conventional tooling.

SIGNL4 Update: Stakeholder Communication and Signl Status Notifications

When incidents happen, they rarely stay contained. Customers, partners, and internal stakeholders are often affected – but too often, they’re informed late or not at all. In critical situations, that lack of communication can quickly turn into real business risk. With our latest SIGNL4 release, we’re changing that.
