Use AI and traffic replay to test AI-generated code

When I ask an AI agent to change code, I also want it to run the application and test what it changed. Asking it to write some tests is a start. But if it invents the expected responses from the same assumptions it used to write the code, those tests can miss the same mistake. Traffic replay gives the agent something concrete to test against: requests and responses captured from a working application.

From a $60K invoice to a $200B earnings call, few can explain the AI bill

CloudZero’s own AI Economics Pulse for September found the 75th percentile of its 430-company customer panel crossed 10% of its cloud bill on AI for the first time in August. Gartner’s latest survey found only 22% of organizations have scaled AI successfully and 11% don’t know what their own function spent on it last year. CJ Gustafson showed what that gap looks like on an actual invoice this week.

Sovereign AI and the future of data centre infrastructure

What does sovereign AI really mean when the hardware powering it is made somewhere else? And how is AI changing where data centres need to be built? In the first episode of Series 2 of Perspectives from the Edge, Rob Cooper, Head of Data Centre Advisory at CBRE, joins Pulsant’s Wendy Shearer to explore the rapidly changing AI infrastructure market. CBRE is a global real estate and infrastructure advisory firm, with a specialist team focused on the data centre sector.

Compare & Sync PostgreSQL Data + AI Assistant | dbForge Studio #Shorts

Compare and synchronize PostgreSQL table data with dbForge Studio for PostgreSQL. This video shows the entire data comparison and synchronization workflow: how to select source and target databases, configure comparison options, review data differences, generate a synchronization script, and verify that both databases are identical afterwards. You will also see how dbForge AI Assistant can generate, explain, optimize, and troubleshoot SQL queries directly in the Studio.

How to operate shared platforms safely at agent scale

A platform engineering team can design robust Golden Paths for agent use yet still be unprepared for what happens after adoption. An agent may authenticate properly, call the correct tools, adhere to approval gates, and complete tasks without incident, but new operational risks arise once multiple teams begin running agents continuously and in parallel. We’ve encountered these risks firsthand at Datadog.

Monitor TAS and gang scheduling for AI training in Kubernetes

Distributed AI training workloads impose complex scheduling requirements that Kubernetes’s built-in scheduler can’t meet. Kubernetes schedules pods individually and independently, but distributed training introduces two requirements that break this model: Pods must land on hardware with the right inter-GPU bandwidth, and all pods must be scheduled simultaneously. If either requirement goes unmet, training stalls or runs far below the hardware’s potential.

Manage Cursor costs with Datadog Cloud Cost Management

AI coding tools such as Cursor are becoming a significant source of engineering spend. But Cursor costs can be difficult for FinOps teams to manage. Cursor’s usage data alone doesn’t tell you how costs break down across users and models, and fixed-threshold alerts may not catch an unusual cost spike if spend remains below the threshold. Datadog Cloud Cost Management (CCM) brings Cursor costs into the same place where you monitor cloud, SaaS, and other AI spend.

Bindplane Agent Is Here: Build, Edit, and Understand Pipelines in Plain Language

Pipeline Intelligence already recommends processors, reads live telemetry, detects log types, and generates processor bundles from natural language. But most of it lives inside a single processor node. You still have to know which one to open and what to ask for. This changes today. Bindplane Agent is your AI assistant inside Bindplane, ready to act on what you describe in plain language.
