Building Sentry's Laravel AI Integration

During a recent Agent Hackweek, an internal Sentry event that gives us a week to build any AI or agent project we want, a colleague pitched me on writing the Laravel AI integration. The goal was to give agents built with Laravel AI the same Agent Tracing support we already have for other frameworks. I liked the idea, he built Sentry’s Agent Tracing for Python based agents before which meant he already had domain knowledge.

Your Feedback Becomes the AI Agent's Memory: How OrionIQ AI Agents Learn From You

TL;DR: OrionIQ AI agents, available inside the logz.io platform, now learn from your feedback. Rate any agent run, thumbs up or thumbs down, say why, and the agent re-reads its own run, finds the decision behind the outcome, and writes a lesson. The next run of that agent in your account starts with the lesson in hand. It works for every OrionIQ AI agent, from Alert AI Analysis to scheduled and marketplace agents. Lessons never cross accounts or agents, and you control what the agent keeps.

Shopify admin outage on September 15, 2026: merchants locked out, and how StatusGator caught it early

Shopify’s admin dashboard went down for merchants around the world on September 15, 2026, leaving store owners unable to log in or reach their orders, products, and settings while many storefronts kept running. StatusGator sent an Early Warning Signal at 09:25 UTC, 24 minutes before Shopify publicly acknowledged the incident on its status page at 09:49 UTC. The disruption lasted about four hours.

Best practices to define SLOs that actually reflect user experience

A marathon runner who trains obsessively on a flat track will have beautiful split times right up until race day when they discover the actual course has hills. Although the preparation was real, their strategy was flawed. This plays out in SLO teams more than anyone likes to admit. At first, numbers look fine and nothing has been triggered. Then, a support ticket comes in showing checkout has been down for 20 minutes. The SLO wasn't broken.

Using AI to Govern AI: Why Security Needs to Operate at Machine Speed

What caught my attention in the recent OpenAI and Hugging Face incident wasn’t any one exploit. It was the way the models could keep progressing across systems, combining techniques and acting with a level of speed and persistence that changes how security teams need to operate. The incident emerged during internal cybersecurity evaluations in July 2026.

How MSPs Can Deliver Azure Monitoring as a Managed Service

Azure monitoring looks straightforward when managing a single environment. Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, Azure Monitor Agent and Azure Policy provide a comprehensive set of tools for collecting and analysing telemetry. For a Managed Service Provider (MSP), however, the challenge changes significantly when the service needs to support dozens or hundreds of customers.

How to Troubleshoot VPN Problems and Keep Remote Access Running

Why does the VPN work for most of the company while one branch office, or a handful of remote staff, reports that it won't connect or crawls the moment they sign in? The difficulty with VPN troubleshooting is that the tunnel relies on every layer below it. If the laptop, home Wi-Fi, internet route, gateway, or security policy on either end misbehaves, the connection suffers. One complaint about a slow file share could originate at any of those points.

Top 10 Incident Management Tools Compared

An IT incident costs the most in the minutes between the first alert and the first owner. Incident management tools exist to shrink that window. However, choosing the best incident management tools is not as straightforward as we’d like it to be. The 2026 market has its own complications, Opsgenie is going away on April 5, 2027, and Squadcast has been folded into SolarWinds.
