As the industry's largest study of its kind, the 2026 Observability Forecast surveyed 2,575 IT and engineering leaders across major regions and industries. A critical pattern emerged: organizations ship AI-generated code faster than they can review it and deploy autonomous agents faster than they can monitor them. This report reveals where those operational blind spots exist and provides the exact framework top teams use to close the gap.
Key takeaways inside the report:
Key takeaways inside the report:
- Stop "Phantom Velocity" Before It Hits Production: Learn why 78% of teams report more incidents despite faster coding speeds, and how to protect runtime reliability.
- Close the Agentic Visibility Gap: 1 out of 4 teams run AI agents unmonitored; discover how to instrument autonomous systems before they alter code, configs, or infrastructure.
- Mitigate Tool Sprawl: Discover how the average tool count crept back up from 4.4 to 5.0, and how unified platforms keep stacks resilient.
- Maximize AI ROI: Benchmark your strategy against teams achieving 3x+ returns on their observability investments.
