New to groundcover's observability platform is Agent Mode, a built-in AI assistant that helps engineers troubleshoot problems in logs and traces without writing queries by hand.

The AI agent observability space is taking off - but how can enterprises be sure what observability products and solutions they need?

The Israeli startup says traditional monitoring platforms were not built for the explosion of data generated by cloud and AI systems. The Series C brings groundcover’s total funding to $160 million as it targets a market dominated by legacy giants.

For fifteen years, observability lived downstream of everything else. Code shipped, something broke, an engineer went to the dashboards. The job was forensic.

It’s a seemingly simple question, but there isn’t a satisfying answer today.

Application observability startup groundcover Ltd. today announced a major expansion of Agent Mode that lets artificial intelligence agents act on a team’s observability data across the development tools they already use.

Governed by admin-level controls and per-user permissions, new connectors and customizable agent skills put telemetry-aware AI agents to work in tools like Slack, Linear and GitHub

Software engineer at groundcover, Avital Tamir, argues that AI code review and rigorous self-review can replace slow peer review, cutting bottlenecks in dev teams.

Enterprises adopting AI face a risk most vendors do not talk about openly: your observability data, including PII and customer prompts, may be flowing to third-party infrastructure you do not control.

The obvious use case is incident investigation: Ask a question, get a summary, identify a suspicious deployment, find the slow endpoint, maybe save an engineer a few minutes during an incident.

There’s a problem with modern observability that almost nobody talks about openly: your monitoring stack might be hurting the systems it’s supposed to protect.

groundcover announced the general availability of groundcover AI Mode, a native AI capability designed to help engineering teams investigate production incidents and analyze infrastructure behavior directly inside their own cloud environments.

Devops teams must implement observability standards now to avoid the coming wave of AI technical debt.

eBPF captures everything. The AI Mode can actually use it.

For years, observability was supposed to be the great equalizer. The way every team could understand their systems, debug faster, and ship with confidence. But somewhere along the way, it became the opposite: Complex, expensive, and increasingly constrained.

NTT Data execs and security researchers at MWC warn that AI is reshaping telecom and software development faster than teams can adapt, with new risks at every layer.

Modern observability has delivered real value to teams in recent years. Metrics, logs and traces have helped them survive the shift to cloud-native architectures and always-on digital systems.

Yechezkel “Chez” Rabinovich, CTO and co-founder at Groundcover, joins SE Radio host Brijesh Ammanath to discuss the key challenges in migrating observability toolsets.

Logs, metrics, and traces aren't enough. AI apps require visibility into prompts and completions to track everything from security risks to hallucinations.

Enterprises that have relied on the same observability platform for years face a harsh reality when it’s time to move on: migration is harder than it should be.

Shahar brings experience in the world of cybersecurity and machine learning having worked as a leader in companies such as Apple, DayTwo, and Cymotive Technologies.

Modern observability is meant to give engineering teams a clear view into their systems.

Observability platform company groundcover has launched a new migration tool to help organisations move their observability stacks from other vendors (such as Datadog) to its own platform.

AI completely changed how we write code. A few years ago, people were still trying to type faster. There were even competitions about it. Now typing doesn’t matter. You can just ask an AI to write the code for you, and it will do it in seconds. The bottleneck is gone. We’re in a world of superhuman velocity.

New self-service tool helps teams migrate from Datadog to groundcover in days—no consultants, no downtime. Support for more vendors coming soon.

groundcover has launched a global Ecosystem Program that places partners, not direct sales, at the center of its business model.

Modern software platforms are increasingly composed of diverse microservices, third-party APIs, and cloud resources.

groundcover VP Orr Benjamin explains how eBPF-powered observability helps teams track costs, performance, and security in LLMs from day one.

in a distributed world of microservices, it’s simply not possible to set up monitors on everything that matters; we need the ability to deal with unexpected situations and react accordingly.

groundcover, a cloud-native observability platform challenging legacy solutions like Datadog and New Relic, has launched a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that promises to transform how development teams leverage AI for more reliable code. In an exclusive interview, Orr Benjamin, VP of Product at groundcover, shares insights into this development and its implications for the future of observability.

Observability has become a critical part of engineering teams, going beyond DevOps and SRE teams. But many organizations struggle with the complexity, cost, and security implications of traditional observability solutions.
