This article is part of our series on how Datadog’s engineering teams use LLM Observability to build, monitor, and improve AI-powered systems. Organizations are building AI agents that help users automate work, analyze data, and interact with complex systems through natural language. As these agents become more capable, they also become more complex and exposed to risks such as prompt injection, data leaks, and unsafe code execution.

In the world of enterprise software, the transition from traditional DevOps to modern AI-driven delivery is less like a flip of a switch and more like a high-stakes kitchen. As Devan Shah, Chief Architect at IBM, puts it: the ingredients have changed from food to code, but the need for a precise, governed process remains the same.

AI-powered coding tools are changing how developers work. Tools like Claude Code can write functions, refactor code, and build features through natural conversation, often faster than you could type them yourself. But speed creates its own risks. AI-generated code can contain subtle bugs, reference packages that don’t exist, or misuse APIs in ways that only surface at runtime. That’s where continuous integration comes in. CI is a safety net that lets you move fast confidently.

AI coding assistants like Gemini are changing how developers write code. They can generate entire functions, debug tricky issues, and help you move faster than ever before. But with that speed comes a new challenge: how do you make sure AI-generated code actually works? AI assistants are powerful, but they’re not perfect. They can introduce subtle bugs, miss edge cases, or generate code that breaks existing functionality. That’s where CI (continuous integration) comes in.

The energy at Cisco Live EMEA in Amsterdam (February 9-13, 2026) was primarily driven by groundbreaking AI announcements, & the event provided Fabrix.ai an opportunity to strengthen our strategic position alongside Cisco and Splunk ecosystems. The event’s focus on AI, highlighted by the recent Cisco AI Summit, emphasizes a clear market direction in which Fabrix.ai is perfectly poised to accelerate innovation.
