Has anyone put an AI agent on real production alerts yet? What broke first?

This question keeps coming up with ops teams in Pune: "can we put an AI agent on our alerts?" In my experience, most teams haven't worked out two things before trying. One is what it costs at their alert volume. The other is what happens when the agent is wrong.

A small group of SRE, DevOps and platform folks is getting together in Pune this Friday to work through exactly this, hands-on. Everyone gets their own Kubernetes cluster. We run four AI models on the same ops problem, run the agent with memory on and then off, and then try to break it before it breaks prod.

Before Friday, I'd like to hear from people who've already tried it:

  1. What did you build yourselves, and what did you take off the shelf?
  2. How do you price it? Per alert, per incident, or did the token bill surprise you?
  3. What guardrails did you put in before the agent could touch prod?
  4. What broke first?

I'll post what comes out of Friday here afterwards.

(Disclosure: I work at NudgeBee, a Pune AIOps company that's partnering on Friday's session. Happy to share details in the comments if anyone wants to join.)

AI SRE workshop in Pune this Friday (9 Oct): live K8s cluster, 4 AI models, red-team the agent. Rs 500 with lunch at JW Marriott

If you're in or near Pune and work on production systems, you've probably been asked some version of "can we put an AI agent on our alerts?" this year. In my experience, most teams haven't worked out what that would cost, or what happens when the agent is wrong.

So we're running a hands-on workshop on exactly that, this Friday.

When: Fri 9 Oct, 10 AM to 2 PM
Where: JW Marriott, SB Road, Pune
Cost: Rs 500, chai and lunch included

What you actually do there:

  • Get your own live Kubernetes cluster for the day. Nothing to set up beforehand.
  • Run four AI models on the same ops problem and compare the answers yourself
  • Run the agent with memory on, then off, and watch the answer change
  • Price an agent setup at your own team's alert volume and see where token spend runs away
  • Try to break the agent in a red-team round with a live leaderboard

You walk out with your own call on what to build in-house and what to take off the shelf. "Build it ourselves" is a perfectly valid answer.

The first edition ran in Hyderabad on 18 Sep. 24 engineers came and stayed till 2:30.

A few honest details:

  • It's capped at 24 people and 2 per company, so the room stays small enough to actually talk.
  • It's for SREs, DevOps, platform and cloud folks who work hands-on with prod. If you don't, you'll be bored.
  • It's not recorded. Failure stories stay in the room.
  • Full disclosure: GoGoAI Dev, an ops community, organises it. I'm from NudgeBee, a Pune AIOps company, and we're the partner. There's no pitch. You score your own setup.

You apply first and hear back within an hour. Once you're approved you get the payment link. Payment closes Thursday 8 Oct at 11:59 AM IST, and once 24 people have paid the room is full. If you're thinking about it, apply today.

Has anyone here actually put an agent near production yet? I'd like to hear what broke first.

PlatformCon live days are running Sep–Feb before the 2027 flagship week, dates for all of them

Disclosure up front: I maintain the list I link at the bottom, so skip the link if you like, the dates are all here.

PlatformCon runs a world tour of in-person live days between the free virtual flagship weeks, and the schedule isn't collected anywhere obvious:

- Paris - 24 Sep 2026

- Sydney - 28 Oct 2026

- Sao Paulo - 7 Nov 2026

- San Francisco - 24 Feb 2027

- Flagship week - London 22 Jun and New York 24 Jun 2027, virtual is free

Adjacent things worth a calendar entry if you work on platforms:

- Platform Engineering Day, co-located with KubeCon NA, 9 Nov 2026, Salt Lake City

- BackstageCon, same day, same venue

- PlatforMa has a CFP open, no deadline published yet

The thing that annoyed me into collecting these: every conference list I found was undated, so you can't tell what already happened. Everything above is checked against the organiser's own page.

Full list including CFP deadlines: https://github.com/gogoaidev/awesome-sre-conferences
