The Answer to SRE Agent Failures: Context Engineering

Sep 9, 2025 By Mezmo In Mezmo
AI agents for SREs were supposed to slash mean time to resolution and eliminate alert fatigue. Instead, most teams got expensive, unreliable tools that burn through tokens without delivering insights. But what if the problem isn't the AI models themselves? Recent benchmarking reveals the real bottleneck: context engineering. When we tested our context engineering approach against conventional methods, the results were dramatic: Scroll down for our benchmark results to see the full comparison.

Kubernetes Monitoring Metrics That Improve Cluster Reliability

Sep 5, 2025 By Anjali Udasi In Last9
A Kubernetes cluster can generate more than 1,400 metrics out of the box. That’s a lot of numbers to sift through, especially when you’re troubleshooting a production slowdown in the middle of the night. The key is knowing which metrics tell you the most, with the least noise. These are the signals worth paying attention to when you need answers fast.

What is APM Tracing?

Sep 3, 2025 By Faiz Shaikh In Last9
APM tracing records the complete execution path of a request as it travels through your system, including database queries, external API calls, cache lookups, message queue events, and inter-service requests. Each step is captured with precise start and end timestamps, duration, and context such as service name, operation name, and relevant attributes. This lets you pinpoint where latency or errors originate without piecing together metrics and logs manually.

A Single Hub for Telemetry: OpenTelemetry Gateway

Sep 1, 2025 By Anjali Udasi In Last9
The OpenTelemetry Gateway (OTel Gateway) is a centralized service that collects, processes, and routes telemetry data—metrics, traces, and logs—across your infrastructure. In a typical setup, each service pushes telemetry directly to an observability backend. While this approach works well for small environments, it becomes increasingly difficult to manage as systems grow.

A Practical Guide to Python Application Performance Monitoring (APM)

Aug 29, 2025 By Anjali Udasi In Last9
When your Python app starts slowing down, maybe queries are taking longer, memory keeps creeping up, or API calls are lagging—basic server metrics won’t tell you why. You need to see what’s happening inside the application itself. That’s the role of Application Performance Monitoring (APM). It gives you a breakdown of database queries, external API calls, memory usage, error rates, and more, so you can connect the dots between code and performance.
