NEW from Datadog: it's Lapdog!
Ever wondered what your AI agent was actually doing?

Our latest free project runs locally and traces reasoning and tool calls in Codex, Claude Code, and Pi.

You can now see what your agent is REALLY doing, live: https://t.co/3dVBozFlPx

@samgoodwin89 I guess we are in the age of personal software now ! I would never think of building an app like that without ai but now…

[mathis @mathisob]

@thdxr Every day
1: billing
2: dynamodb
3: cloudwatch to search logs or because for some reason the sst console is not showing the log / showing with too much delay.

[mathis @mathisob]

@thdxr Please be frontend error monitoring 🙏

[mathis @mathisob]

@ryanflorence @SurelyAutomata Funny I came up with a similar solution but you don’t really need to do breadth first if you’re going to save the level of each node in a separate structure. You can do depth first without a queue and get the same result (with a bit less complexity)

[mathis @mathisob]

@thdxr Maybe unrelated to what you are building but I wish I had a good library for notifying the user when I start a long running job. It would notify with websocket or SSE and fallback to email is user is disconnected.

[mathis @mathisob]

@thdxr Please don’t find anything better, I already have too many decisions I regret making in my stack.

[mathis @mathisob]

@thdxr lol it’s true it doesn’t work perfectly in nextjs, but super useful when it does

[mathis @mathisob]

@thdxr Will it save sessions to my own database ?

[mathis @mathisob]

@thdxr Migrating to app router is not that hard, but one of our app does not benefit at all from that migration because it uses stitches and it’s not really compatible with app router.

@thomasankcorn You can defer if you use lambda function urls and streaming (or with extensions but DX is not great) https://t.co/XMI7zWmctF

[mathis @mathisob]

@samgoodwin89 Yeah, I got to use python more for data tasks but it was much more pleasant that I expected thanks to copilot and chatgpt.

[mathis @mathisob]

@thdxr Nooo what you really need is to monkeypatch fetch into a centralized s3 cache so that your dropdown component can render nice looking skeletons while fetching available log levels

[mathis @mathisob]

@boristane Now we only need free idle time to be happy !

@jayair What's a plugin for sst ? Would it be like a custom construct or something else like a plugin that automatically adds a layer to all lambdas?

[mathis @mathisob]

@jayair Yes this makes sense when you really want to keep your data in a database that has no vector search built in like dynamo but many search engines / databases are adding vector search and it makes a separate vector database redundant. I ditched pinecone when typesense added vectors

[mathis @mathisob]

@jayair I think this setup could be improved if you could retrieve the actual data you are searching for instead of just retrieving the ids and then getting the data from dynamo with a batchGet. Vector search should just be one way to query your data, not a completely separated system.
