Thanks to the 150+ SREs who joined us in Dublin last week for our panel on reliability in the AI era, featuring Jennifer Riggins (author of AI for the Enterprise, linked in comments), Martin Mao (Chronosphere), Alex Palcuie (Anthropic), Thiara Ortiz (Netflix), Dave O'Connor (Astronomer), and Sylvain Kalache at SREcon (Rootly). Big shoutout to our partners at Chronosphere and Cloudsmith for making it happen and to everyone who joined the conversation!

If you think your interview process can be beaten by an AI, it’s not a good process. Casey Brown, Head of Infrastructure at Weights & Biases, makes the case for returning to first principles, especially in large organizations. He also shares how SREs are using AI at different scales today and where it can have the most impact in the future.

Attending LeadDev NYC? Join us for a Happy Hour with our friends from Block's Goose at a chic restaurant in Times Square 🗽 for gourmet bites, craft drinks, and great conversations. We’re thrilled to welcome Angie Jones, VP of Engineering at Block, as our special guest. Angie will be giving a talk at LeadDev on AI tooling and adoption. If you attend her session, don’t miss this chance to continue the conversation. Join us and connect with fellow engineering leaders who are shaping the future of the industry. RSVP in the comments, few spots left!

Rootly at SREcon EMEA: recap highlights! – Maria Vechtomova (Marvelous MLOps) and Sylvain Kalache at SREcon (Rootly) led a discussion track on real-world MLOps with Charity Majors (honeycomb), Todd Underwood (Anthropic), Niall Murphy (Stanza), Alejandro Saucedo (Zalando), and Jay Lees (Meta). – In his talk, Sylvain Kalache shared how AI code assistants are already shaping incident response. – Jorge Lainfiesta presented a talk exploring the intersection of SRE and platform engineering. Big shoutout to Heinrich Hartmann and the other organizers for putting together a fantastic conference. Every talk we attended was technical and insightful, and it was great to connect with so many SREs pushing the boundaries of reliability.

We just shipped a new version of the Rootly Mobile App, making on-call life a little easier! Alerts and Incidents have a fresh new look and simpler experience: redesigned index screens make it easier to filter and focus on what matters most, quickly. Learn more in our changelog (linked in comments).

While Sonnet-4.5 remains a popular choice among developers, our benchmarks show it underperforms GPT-5 on SRE-related tasks when both are run with default parameters. However, using the Not Diamond prompt adaptation platform, Sonnet-4.5 achieved up to a 2x performance improvement in some test cases, effectively closing the gap between the models. Learn more about our findings or run them with a single command using Groq's OpenBench (link below).

From Figma to Webflow to Midjourney—bringing Rootly’s story to life has never looked better. Built using the best tools in the industry (who also happen to be some of our amazing customers 💜). As Rootly continues to build with AI and ship quality experiences faster, we’re proud to do so powering reliability for the next generation of AI companies that help us build faster—their systems stay resilient as they innovate fast, so we innovate fast. Crafted by the one and only Jerry Wang!

Rootly is heading to LeadDev New York! Catch us in the exhibitors area at Booth 44. We’re also co-hosting a Rootly x Block Goose Happy Hour in Times Square, your chance to connect with fellow engineering leaders over crafted drinks, gourmet bites, and great conversations. RSVP in comments.
