Observability and audit trails for agents

Ereli Eran is the Founding Engineer at 7AI, where he’s focused on building and scaling the company’s agentic AI-driven cybersecurity platform — developing autonomous AI agents that triage alerts, investigate threats, enrich security data, and enable end-to-end automated security operations so human teams can focus on higher-value strategic work.

// Abstract

A conversation on how AI coding agents are changing the way we build and operate production systems. We explore the practical boundaries between agentic and deterministic code, strategies for shared responsibility across models, engineering teams, and customers, and how to evaluate agent performance at scale. Topics include production quality gates, safety and cost tradeoffs, managing long-tail failures, and deployment patterns that let you ship agents with confidence.

// Bio

Ereli Eran is a founding engineer at 7AI, where he builds agentic AI systems for security operations and the production infrastructure that powers them. His work spans the full stack - from designing experiment frameworks for LLM-based alert investigation to architecting secure multi-tenant systems with proper authentication boundaries. Previously, he worked in data science and software engineering roles at Stripe, VMware Carbon Black, and was an early employee of Ravelin and Normalyze.
