Beth PariseauI caught up recently with #groundcover CEO Shahar Azulay to discuss the shifting requirements – and growing role -- for #observability tools in #AI development. From his point of view, #o11y has evolved from a post-production downtime prevention system to "the source of truth for everything from code creation to shipping and testing code, remediation and production."
In today’s episode, we’ll cover…
-- Coping with a further influx of observability data from #AIagents
-- Observability for #costmanagement
-- Data collection for AI agent workflows using #eBPF
-- Groundcover's #AIobservability roadmap
And more!
