AI Summary
In 2024, AI Coding Assistants revolutionized code creation, but the focus is shifting to the other 70% of enterprise engineering work: troubleshooting, alert handling, and Day-2 operations. A new class of AI tools is emerging, blending observability with automation, reshaping the operations tools ecosystem. The talk highlights success stories where major firms have achieved a 78% reduction in Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR) and eliminated costly outsourced operations by equipping a single engineer with AI SRE tools. The speaker draws parallels to ‘vibe coding’ in software development, emphasizing that AI is transforming all aspects of engineering post-code creation. Key takeaways include the importance of AI in engineering operations, the fusion of observability and automation, and the expansion of AI usage in enterprise products beyond coding.
