From Alert Fatigue to Agent-Assisted Intelligent Observability
As systems grow, observability becomes harder to maintain and incidents harder to diagnose. Agentic observability layers AI on existing tools, starting in read-only mode to detect anomalies and summarize issues. Over time, agents add context, correlate signals, and automate low-risk tasks. This approach frees engineers to focus on analysis and judgment.

Autonomous Big Data Optimization: Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning to Achieve Self-Tuning Apache Spark
This article introduces a reinforcement learning (RL) approach grounded in Apache Spark that enables distributed computing systems to learn optimal configurations autonomously, much like an apprentice engineer who learns by doing. The author also implements a lightweight agent as a driver-side component that uses RL to choose configuration settings before a job runs.

Article Series: AI-Assisted Development: Real World Patterns, Pitfalls, and Production Readiness
In this series, we examine what happens after the proof of concept and how AI becomes part of the software delivery pipeline. As AI transitions from proof of concept to production, teams are discovering that the challenge extends beyond model performance to include architecture, process, and accountability. This transition is redefining what constitutes good software engineering.

NextGen Search - Where AI Meets OpenSearch through MCP
In this article, authors Srikanth Daggumalli and Arun Lakshmanan discuss next-generation context-aware conversational search using OpenSearch and AI agents powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) and Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Trustworthy Productivity: Securing AI Accelerated Development
Autonomous AI agents amplify productivity but can cause severe damage without safeguards. Defend the ReAct loop—context, reasoning, and tools—through provenance gates, planner-critic separation, scoped credentials, sandboxed code, and STRIDE/MAESTRO threat modeling. With robust logging, bounded autonomy, and red-teaming, agents can deliver trustworthy productivity while minimizing risk.
