Practical AI-Enabled Observability for Agents and LLMs

You’re told to “go build agents” without clear guidance on what that actually means, how to do it well, or how to know if it is working. You are not a data scientist. You are a software engineer. In this talk, a Datadog AI product leader Shri Subramanian breaks down what changes when you move from building applications to building AI agents, and why familiar approaches like traditional testing and linear delivery fall short. We will explore how agent development shifts the focus from code alone to data, prompts, and evaluation, and why functional reliability matters just as much as operational reliability.

How to Catch AI Code Mistakes Before They Reach Production

AI can write code fast, but it makes mistakes humans often don't. In this session from Ole Lensmar, CTO of Testkube, breaks down the real quality risks of AI-generated code and how engineering teams can build guardrails before those bugs hit production. What you'll learn: Common mistakes LLMs make (and which ones are unique to AI) Whether you're a developer leaning on AI to ship faster or a QA lead trying to keep up with the pace of AI-generated code, this talk gives you a practical framework for staying ahead of quality issues.

IREX Enhances FireTrack AI Module for Faster, More Accurate Fire Detection

WASHINGTON, DC - IREX, a global developer of ethical AI and intelligent video analytics, has announced a significant upgrade to its FireTrack fire and smoke detection module, expanding its capabilities across a wide range of environments. As outlined in an article on TNW, the updated solution is designed to work seamlessly with existing camera infrastructure, eliminating the need for additional hardware while extending its use to critical infrastructure, public institutions, residential and commercial properties, and natural environments such as parks and forests.

From AI Idea to Real System: What Changes Along the Way

Most companies don't struggle with the idea of AI. They struggle with what to do with it. The potential is clear-automation, predictions, better decisions. But translating that into something useful inside a business is where things become less obvious. That's usually when ai ml consulting services start to make sense.

AI Working for You: MCP, Canvas, and Agentic Workflows - Part 2

In our previous post in our series on observability for the agent era, we looked at how Honeycomb provides unique visibility into LLMs operating in your production environment. Now, let’s flip it around and explore how Honeycomb provides observability insights uniquely suited to helping your AI agents rapidly diagnose and fix production issues, and build production feedback into the next round of development.

The Fundamentals: Fast, Deep, and Ready for What Comes Next - Part 3

The previous two posts in this series have looked at some of the use cases Honeycomb customers are implementing to observe LLMs in production and power agentic observability workflows. In this third and final post, we’ll take it back to basics and look at how the fundamental capabilities and infrastructure of Honeycomb provide the comprehensive data and fast performance that makes these use cases work at production scale. AI capabilities built on a weak observability foundation fall apart fast.

AI Demos Are Easy. Enterprise AI Is Not. | Harness Blog

‍Why 90% of AI prototypes never make it to production, and what to do about it. Every week, someone on my team shows me a demo that looks incredible. An agent that writes deployment pipelines. A chatbot that triages incidents. A copilot that generates test cases from Jira tickets. The demo takes 20 minutes. The audience claps. Everyone leaves convinced we're six weeks from shipping it. We're not.

AI for GitOps: Tame your Argo Sprawl | Harness Blog

Innovation is moving faster than ever, but software delivery has become the ultimate chokepoint. While AI coding assistants have flooded our repositories with an unprecedented volume of code, the teams responsible for actually delivering that code, our Platform and DevOps engineers, are often left drowning in manual toil. If you’re managing Argo CD at an enterprise scale, you’re painfully familiar with the "Day 2" reality.

How to Prevent and Resolve Incidents Using Model Context Protocol (MCP)

The rapid pace of modern software development, fueled by AI-driven coding and accelerated deployment cycles, has resurfaced a challenge that many development teams already struggled with: the speed of incident response must now match the speed of change. Every day, teams ship code faster than ever, which inevitably increases the risk of a new issue making it to production. The traditional approach—where engineers waste time jumping between disconnected tools—is no longer sustainable.
