Hello, Spanly
A short note announcing the Spanly engineering blog.
- announcements
Welcome to the Spanly blog. This is where we’ll share what we’re building, what we’ve learned, and how we think about observability for MCP servers and AI agents.
What you’ll find here
We’re going to write about the things we wish someone had written down when we started:
- Engineering deep-dives on how we collect, store, and query traces from MCP servers at scale — what we picked, what we broke, and what we’d do differently.
- Product notes on how teams are actually using Spanly to debug agents in production.
- The MCP ecosystem more broadly — what’s changing, what’s emerging, and what we’re excited about.
Why a blog?
Most of what we’ve learned building Spanly hasn’t fit in a README or a docs page. A blog is the right shape for the longer-form things — the rationale behind a design, the story of an incident, a benchmark we ran to settle an argument.
If you have questions, want to push back on something, or just want to chat about MCP observability, come find us on Discord or GitHub.
