Imaginary Test Data. Real Token Bill.

Ask an AI for K-pop concert advice without saying the group, city, date, or budget. It may confidently send you to a BLACKPINK tribute night in Cleveland with a $400 resale ticket. The AI was plenty confident. It just had nothing real to go on. That is exactly what happens when developers test AI applications with invented traffic. The test may look reasonable. The result may even pass.

Instant Kubernetes Observability with Proxymock #speedscale #kubernetes #ebpf #devops #cloudnative

Learn how to get instant observability into your Kubernetes cluster by installing the Speedscale operator and proxymock tool. In this step-by-step tutorial, we walk you through setting up the operator to capture live network traffic (including encrypted traffic, API calls, and database calls) without complex instrumentation or manual configuration.

AI is Exposing Observability's Dirty Secret

The 3 pillars of observability are breaking. For years, dev teams relied on Logs, Metrics, and Traces to know when something went wrong. But now? AI agents are writing, deploying, and changing code in real-time. When an AI hallucination pushes a bug to production, standard monitoring sees nothing wrong.To survive the AI era, we need a 4th Pillar of Observability. Watch to find out what it is and why the old way of monitoring just became obsolete.

Build WireMock mappings fast from real traffic

I'm a big fan of service mocking. I've been working in and around software for about 25 years, and one thing never changes: when you sit down to work on your code, you almost never have everything available. The database, the third-party API, the message queue, the service two teams over. Something's missing. So you've got to stub it out or mock it out and keep moving.

AI writes code in seconds, but delivery still takes days

The pitch for AI coding was speed. Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor, whatever you’re running, they all generate business logic faster than you can review it. That part is real. But look at what happens after the code gets written and the numbers get ugly. CircleCI’s 2026 State of Software Delivery Report found AI drove a 59% increase in average throughput.

How to Trace Microservices WITHOUT OpenTelemetry

Learn how to trace complex multi-hop transactions across microservices when OpenTelemetry isn't available or trace parents get lost. This quick tutorial demonstrates how to use full-text search in proxymock (a free CLI and UI tool) to isolate user journeys (like looking up a specific username) and instantly generate waterfall tracing views. Whether you are working locally or in a Kubernetes cluster, you can record API traffic, visualize multi-hop requests, and easily transition those captures into load or regression tests.
