### AI overview

An article about designing observability for AI systems beyond traditional APM metrics, with emphasis on tracking quality, cost, retrieval, and agent behavior.

### Source excerpt

Traditional monitoring tools, such as application performance monitoring (APM), were engineered to monitor deterministic software where specific inputs reliably lead to predictable outputs through hard-coded logic. When a traditional API fails, it usually throws a 500 Internal Server Error. But when an AI agent fails, it might return a perfectly healthy 200 OK status code ...

### AI overview

Node.js describes a denial-of-service vulnerability in which stack space exhaustion can cause an immediate, uncatchable process exit when async hooks are enabled. The issue affects applications using React Server Components, Next.js request-context tracking, and APM instrumentation. A January 2026 Node.js security release adds a mitigation, while applications and frameworks should adopt stronger defenses such as limiting attacker-controlled recursion.

### AI overview

Apollo is launching APM dashboard templates for Datadog that provide platform and SRE teams with observability views for GraphOS Router performance. The templates map Router spans and metrics into Datadog, expose GraphQL errors, support router-to-subgraph drill-down, and correlate performance with deployments and versions.

### Source excerpt

Today we're launching APM dashboard templates for Datadog, so platform and SRE teams can get best practices observability into GraphOS Router performance in just minutes. Previously teams would need to determine the important information to monitor, what telemetry is available, and then how to configure the dashboards. This could take hours or days of an engineers time to initially set up and refine over time.
