Santiago (@svpino) says his team has run several agents for a few weeks to monitor production systems around the clock.

He says the agents diagnose failures, suggest causes and recommend fixes, save a lot of money, and handle tasks the team could not do before. He does not give figures for the savings in the post.

Before trusting such agents, Santiago says, teams should answer five questions, including whether the agent understands the systems, can see what happened, can access recent code changes, and can have its evidence verified. The post is a single claim from one engineer's account and is not independently checked.
