   #50 – Can AI Run Production? Inside ResolveAI with Spiros Xanthos

   ResolveAI CEO Spiros Xanthos joins Dash0’s Mirko Novakovic to make the case that the AI SRE is moving beyond incident summaries and into the critical path of production. Spiros explains what it takes to trust an agent to investigate an alert and one decides whether a human needs to be paged or whether it can recommend or take mitigation action. They also get into why Resolve is training its own models and why observability tools will need to evolve for a world where agents do most of the querying — not humans.

   #49 – The Single Pane of Glass Is a Myth: AI, Telemetry and the Future of Observability with Clint Sharp

   Cribl co-founder and CEO Clint Sharp joins Dash0’s Mirko Novakovic for a wide-ranging conversation about where observability goes next. Clint explains why he thinks the future is flexible data layers rather than all-in-one platforms, plus how AI agents change the economics of telemetry and the way that data gets queried. He also reveals the top things he’s hearing from his most advanced customers and why enterprises still need purpose-built infrastructure instead of simply dumping everything into a general-purpose data warehouse. Mirko and Clint also debate querying across multiple systems, AI SRE and what happens when dashboards are no longer the primary interface for production data.

   #48 – Why We Acquired Polar Signals with CEO Frederic Branczyk

   Dash0 is acquiring Polar Signals. In this special behind-the-scenes episode, Polar Signals founder and CEO Frederic Branczyk joins Mirko Novakovic to share how a chance dinner in Berlin turned into a plan to join forces, and why continuous profiling and Polar Signals’ Great Lakes database were the missing pieces Dash0 was already looking to build. They dig into what profiling reveals that traditional observability can’t, how AI can now make performance optimization accessible to every engineering team, and what the acquisition unlocks for Dash0 customers, from always-on CPU profiling to an entirely new approach to GPU performance.
