Claude Code + CircleCI MCP = no more hunting through build logs.

On this episode of Masters of Data, we revisit the predictions Adam White, Zoe Hawkins, and David Girvin made at the end of last year, checking our own scorecard halfway through 2026. The hits: agents running amok and deleting databases, MCP becoming the backbone for tracking what agents actually do, growing security gaps around personal data, and a collective rejection of low-quality AI content. The misses: we underestimated how fast companies would cut staff for AI, then quietly start rehiring once the agents couldn't cover the work, and we're still arguing about whether token burn is a cost problem or a coming attack vector.

AI Incident Prevention from BigPanda stops change-related outages before they occur by leveraging risk scores, trend analysis, and guided remediation steps. Manual IT changes are still a leading cause of IT outages and disruptions. BigPanda AI Incident Prevention addresses this by automatically scoring change requests against historical data, flagging high-risk changes before they go live, and surfacing the recurring problems that cause service degradation.

AI incident assistant from BigPanda gives L2, L3, and SRE teams instant answers to resolve incidents faster without manual triage or tool-switching. IT teams lose critical minutes during incidents because context is scattered across Slack threads, bridge calls, monitoring tools, and historical tickets. The BigPanda AI Incident Assistant fixes that by surfacing relevant knowledge exactly when and where responders need it. It gives responders evidence-based resolution paths drawn from historical incidents and live system data, without leaving your workflows.

Agents are pretty good at fixing your apps. We can make them even better. ​In this workshop we’re going to show you how to give your agents superpowers using Seer, the Sentry MCP server, and CLI tool. Join to learn how to: ​- Teach agents how to best implement and work with Sentry through agent skills and the CLI tool. ​- Set up Seer’s agent handoff feature for Claude, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot and have agents start automatically generating pull requests for fixes.

Most enterprises have observability tools. What they often lack is a shared view between application and infrastructure teams. When application performance degrades, finding the root cause can be slow because the data lives in separate silos. Virtana brings application observability and infrastructure intelligence together in a single platform, helping teams identify issues faster, collaborate more effectively, and shift from reactive troubleshooting to proactive operations.
