AI, Observability and the Coming End of Token Maxing — Inside the Next Era of Telemetry
Andre Scott, Developer Advocate at Coralogix, joins Mike Vizard on Techstrong TV to unpack what AI is doing to observability — and what it’s going to take to keep up. AI workloads can generate up to 50x more telemetry data than traditional services, and the old index-everything architecture simply can’t keep up. Andre and Mike dig into why object storage plus a real query engine (like Coralogix’s Data Prime on S3) is becoming the new baseline, why AI observability is now the #1 ask Andre hears from engineers, and how Coralogix’s AI Center wraps LLM workloads with OpenTelemetry GenAI semantic conventions, 17+ out-of-the-box evaluators, and guardrails that can stop a misbehaving prompt before it touches a SQL database. They also get into headless observability — querying telemetry through agentic platforms instead of dashboards — the coming reckoning over token spend, and why “observability by design” with OTel is the only way developers will keep up with autonomous AI agents in production.
