The post argues that observability is a prerequisite for reliable AI-first software delivery, introducing a 'bimodal' model where human-led and agent-led teams coexist. A new KPI is proposed: the percentage of human intervention required, replacing traditional productivity metrics. Dynatrace positions its platform as the observability layer enabling both modes, offering agentic operations (SRE, Developer, Security agents) for human-led teams and closed-loop autonomous operations for agent-led teams, backed by a unified data lakehouse called Grail. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
