Enterprises don't need to ingest everything to understand everything. QKS Group just named Apica a Leader in its SPARK Matrix: Edge Telemetry Pipeline Platforms, Q3 2026. apica.io/blog/why-being-name…#TelemetryPipeline
Starting in 30 minutes: Andi Mann goes live on Ascent 3.0, including how Venn builds pipeline changes from a plain-language request and why an admin signs off before anything big changes. Registrants get the recording.

The AI projects getting shelved are in cybersecurity, compliance and legal. That’s where agentic AI takes on some of the hardest work, from spotting attack signals in huge data volumes to checking contracts against regulations.
Shelving them isn’t playing it safe.

Tomorrow at 10 AM EDT, Andi Mann goes live to talk through Ascent 3.0: Venn turning plain-language requests into pipeline rules, bringing your own AI through the MCP server, and keeping a human in charge of big changes.

Your AI agent can finish every task without a single error and still be wrong. Make sure your monitoring can tell the difference. Happy Friday, SREs. #SRE#AgenticAI
That's a wrap on SREcon26 EMEA in Dublin!
Thanks to every SRE who stopped to talk with us about telemetry, on-call war stories, and what running AI agents in production is doing to observability costs. Already looking forward to the next one.
#SREcon#Observability
A lot of telemetry work is upkeep. Tweaking pipeline rules, chasing agent configs, rebuilding the dashboard someone broke last sprint. We wrote about the parts of that job Ascent 3.0 takes off your plate.

Teams further along with agentic AI were 80% more likely to have avoided operational cost challenges altogether, per Omdia/Informa TechTarget research (n=300+). Avoiding cost problems beats fixing them later.

What changed in Ascent 3.0, and how do you keep humans in charge when AI can edit your pipelines?
We’re putting those questions to CPTO Andi Mann in a live interview.

The Apica team is at #SREcon26 EMEA in Dublin! Find us at Booth 35 through Thursday for a live Apica Flow demo, and see how much telemetry volume you can cut before it ever reaches your backend.

Andi says the playbook has to define failure first: hallucination, cost runaway, unsafe actions, and drift. Each needs a named owner, because these failures tend to fall between engineering, data science, and security.
Apica Vanguard runs synthetic checks on AI workflows and ties them to back-end traces to surface failures like skipped steps and drift. Apica Flow optimizes telemetry before ingestion, so volume stays off your budget.

89% of enterprises say telemetry data growth is the main reason their observability budgets keep climbing.
Average spend is now $3.17M a year. 1 in 5 spend more than $5M.

Every Friday deploy starts with “it’s just a small change.” Whatever you’re tempted to push this afternoon will still be there on Monday. 😎
Happy Friday, and see some of you at SREcon in Dublin next week.
#SRE#SREcon#Observability#OnCall
Big IT problems rarely need a big bang fix. Maybe go through your sock drawer first. Start somewhere small and achievable, find one thing, and fix it. It doesn't have to be a full rebuild on day one.
#DevOps#Agile
In Ascent 3.0, any AI-initiated action that could delete or materially change a configuration stays off until an admin turns it on.
Your team decides how much the AI gets to do. Andi Mann talks about why we built it that way on Oct 20: apica.io/events/stop-babysit…#AgenticAI
We asked Venn for a pipeline that "drops the noise and only saves important telemetry."
First it read the last hour of logs, flagged SSNs and tokens to redact, and then it asked two questions.
Andi Mann talks about why that matters on Oct 20: apica.io/events/stop-babysit…
