!hero-banner AI coding agents consume tokens in ways that are difficult to see. A single request in Claude Code can start a subagent, and that subagent can call...
Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (MWAA) sends Airflow metrics to Amazon CloudWatch without any setup. Airflow v2 and v3 environments are preconfigure...
This closes out the series' capstone: the multi-agent customer support system built across Parts 6-9, now hardened with evaluation, cost governance, and observa...
Instrument LLM agents with OpenTelemetry GenAI conventions, send traces and metrics to Grafana, and build dashboards and alerts for cost, latency, guardrail blocks and tool failures across AWS Bedrock, GCP Vertex AI and Microsoft Foundry.
Building systems that scale requires more than just knowing the technology—it demands understanding business requirements and engineering constraints. Here, we explore observability & golden signals (...
A Prompt Flow DAG that passes every test case in the Foundry portal can still fail in production in ways that are maddening to reproduce — because the failure m...
In the modern enterprise landscape, the transition from monolithic architectures to distributed microservices has introduced a paradox: while systems are more scalable and resilient, they are signific...
In the modern era of microservices, the greatest challenge for cloud architects is no longer just building scalable systems, but understanding how they behave in the wild. As requests traverse dozens ...
Build a DORA metrics dashboard in Grafana without a paid engineering-intelligence tool, by emitting deployment and incident events from GitHub Actions and Argo CD into Loki and querying them with LogQL.
In the modern enterprise landscape, observability has shifted from a post-deployment luxury to a core architectural requirement. As organizations migrate complex, distributed workloads to the cloud, t...
In the lifecycle of a high-growth technology company, there is a definitive moment when "checking the logs" transitions from a manual task to a distributed systems challenge. As organizations like Net...
In the rapidly evolving landscape of cloud-native observability, the choice between AWS CloudWatch and OpenTelemetry (OTel) is no longer a simple binary decision. As a senior cloud architect, I often ...
A practical migration playbook from Grafana Agent to Grafana Alloy on Kubernetes, with the conversion tool, a DaemonSet plus clustered StatefulSet layout, and the dashboards that tell you the pipeline is healthy.
In the world of Google Cloud Platform (GCP), monitoring and alerting are not merely operational afterthoughts; they are the foundational pillars of Site Reliability Engineering (SRE). Google’s approac...
Stand up a complete Grafana, Prometheus, Loki and Tempo observability stack next to your app with one docker-compose file, and wire metrics, logs and traces together so you can jump between them.
