Sawmills announced the launch of Mills, an agentic telemetry management platform, designed to automatically optimize telemetry across its entire lifecycle.
Mills acts as an always-on telemetry operator, continuously identifying waste, improving data quality, and implementing telemetry fixes from development through production, without requiring constant engineering intervention.
"We're at an inflection point in how engineering teams operate. The rise of agentic AI means that entire categories of operational work that used to require constant human coordination can now have a dedicated, always-on owner. For telemetry, that changes everything," said Ronit Belson, CEO & Co-founder. "The ownership gap that's been bleeding engineering time and inflating observability costs for years finally has a solution that doesn't require more headcount or more process; it requires a better operator. And what our customers are finding is when you finally apply a dedicated agentic operator, observability waste drops dramatically, and the data actually provides real signal."
Mills addresses the ownership gap by continuously managing telemetry signals end-to-end, ensuring that only high-value data reaches observability platforms while reducing operational overhead for developers and DevOps teams. DevOps sets policies and guardrails once, and developers are empowered to self-service. Mills monitors telemetry pipelines continuously, identifies issues, builds fixes and routes them directly to the responsible team, which reviews the proposed change and approves it. Mills then executes the deployment while DevOps retains visibility into every suggestion, approval and change, with rollback available at any time. Mills also extends to your agentic engineering workflows through an MCP integration and Sawmills CLI, allowing other agents to query, route, and act on telemetry data without manual intervention.
Mills also operates earlier in the development cycle, catching telemetry problems in code and CI pipelines before they reach production. Telemetry insights from production are fed back into the development cycle, creating a continuous feedback loop across the telemetry lifecycle.
Additionally, Mills works with existing observability platforms and requires no platform migration, allowing organizations to realize value immediately.

The enterprises that will define the next decade are not the ones that deployed the most technology. They are the ones who understood what their technology was actually doing. That distinction is not a philosophical point. It is the central operational challenge facing every organization that has spent the last five years modernizing at speed ...
AI is becoming the operating system of the enterprise. It acts as an invisible coordination layer that understands intent, connects systems, and executes work across complex SaaS environments. Previously, employees had to click through multiple systems — CRM, ERP, support tools, collaboration platforms — to complete a single task. Now, instead of navigating each application manually, they can simply state what they need to accomplish ...
In 2026, the cost of downtime or an outage is no longer just a technical inconvenience; it's a $600 billion wake up call for global businesses. As our digital ecosystems become more interconnected, each touchpoint introduces new risks and multiplies the consequences when things go wrong. And the data is clear: aggregate downtime costs for Global 2,000 companies have surged 50% since 2024, reaching a staggering $600 billion ...
Deloitte found that 74% of enterprises expect to deploy agentic AI solutions in the next 24 months. However, the rush to deployment is outpacing foundational work, though. Only 21% of enterprises have fully formed agent governance models in place. The result? AI agents deployed without guidance or governance begin to function as fragmented islands of complexity ...

I've spent a lot of time in the channel, and one thing I keep coming back to is this: a partner program is only as good as what it looks like in the field. Many programs look great on paper, but when a partner is in front of a customer navigating a complex hybrid environment or trying to make the case for AI-powered observability, the gap between what a vendor promises and what it actually delivers becomes very clear, very fast ...
Enterprises today operate in a real-time environment where uninterrupted access to trusted data has become a baseline expectation for users, applications and automated systems. Traditional DataOps models, built on manual effort and human triage, cannot keep pace with this always active demand. AI agents are emerging as the operational backbone, ensuring consistent data availability, reinforcing trustworthiness and enabling a level of scale that manual processes cannot achieve ...
For decades, trust in the digital workplace rested on familiar signals. We trusted faces on video calls, voices on the phone, and emails that appeared to come from people we knew. These cues felt human and intuitive. They anchored how decisions were made, approvals were granted, and access was authorized. AI-powered deepfakes have quietly broken that model ...
Cloud migration was supposed to be a one-way door. For most enterprises, it turns out it isn't. Cloud data repatriation is a real and growing trend. A new survey ... finds that 89% of organizations plan to expand their on-premises infrastructure footprint over the next two years — and 75% have already moved at least some workloads back from public cloud in the past 24 months. The findings point to a broad rethinking of where data belongs ...
