After OpenShell stops an agent, find out what already changed
An agent can stop while its last production request is still taking effect. Follow a checkout example from the denied action to the result customers actually see.
SRE
Reliability engineering, from service objectives to operational judgment.
When the checkout error line disappears
A blank graph can mean no traffic, missing measurements or something the query cannot calculate. Follow a small Prometheus fixture to keep those meanings separate before a rollout depends on the answer.
Kubernetes Memory QoS: what happens while the answer waits?
Memory throttling may keep an inference process alive while its answer arrives late. Follow the effective settings, memory pressure and completed requests together.
OpenTelemetry Kubernetes attributes v1: keep the route to the responder
An upgrade can keep records flowing while searches and paging routes lose their match. Follow a known task through Kubernetes metadata to its responding team.
Supervising coding agents with Herdr
How Herdr keeps coding sessions available while you detach, and what changes when its server restarts.
When agents can change production
The permissions, state and recovery paths an agent needs when its tool calls can change a running service.
Connect the signals with OpenTelemetry
Use instrumentation and context propagation to connect the evidence in an investigation.
The SRE and platform handoff
Clarify ownership across shared platforms, service reliability, and incident response.
What did the postmortem fix prove?
Separate a completed task from evidence that the underlying risk was reduced.
The operational cost of AI tokens
Account for context limits, retries, latency, and the work behind a useful result.
5 Whys: following the failure past the first explanation
A test that sends requests one at a time can miss a failure caused by overlap. Follow that mismatch into branching causes, useful experiments and a better stopping point.
NotebookLM: when two service instructions disagree
One document says restart; another says preserve the process. Use a cited comparison to find the condition that explains the difference, then check whether it applies.
