I sat down with Todd Persen from Hydraulics to unpack observability, log data, and what actually happens behind the scenes when your apps, streams, and infrastructure are running at scale. We get into how systems are monitored, why logs are exploding in size and complexity, and why LLMs struggle once the data gets truly massive. The conversation takes a turn into the future, where agentic traffic may outnumber humans, and what it means to tell good bots from bad ones. We also get into real-world use cases from CDNs, streaming, and even what happens when AI starts doing your grocery shopping for you.
