Automating root cause analysis at scale: Multi-signal correlation for cloud native incident response
Member Post Automating root cause analysis at scale: Multi-signal correlation for cloud native incident response
The problem: Humans shouldn’t be correlation engines At Atlassian’s scale, hundreds of interconnected microservices distributed across multiple regions mean a production incident generates an overwhelming volume of telemetry. The problem is that finding the causal factor...

How to turn slow queries into actionable reliability metrics with OpenTelemetry
Member Post How to turn slow queries into actionable reliability metrics with OpenTelemetry
Slow SQL queries degrade user experience, cause cascading failures, and turn simple operations into production incidents. The traditional fix? Collect more telemetry. But more telemetry means more things to look at, not necessarily more understanding. Instead...

LLMOps and platform engineering: Who should own the AI pipeline?
Member Post LLMOps and platform engineering: Who should own the AI pipeline?
A few years ago, getting a model into production meant a data scientist, a DevOps engineer, and a narrow set of tools: train it, test it, ship it, watch the dashboards. Large language models broke that...

Why goodput matters more than throughput for LLM serving
Member Post Why goodput matters more than throughput for LLM serving
When we benchmark an LLM serving setup, the number almost everyone reaches for first is throughput: how many requests per second the system can push through. It is easy to measure, easy to compare, and it...
