title: "ClickStack and Hud bring runtime intelligence to AI-powered development"
description: "ClickHouse and Hud announce an integration that combines ClickStack’s service-level observability with Hud’s function-level runtime forensics for AI-assisted software development. As coding agents generate more code, the post identifies the central challenge as assessing production risk, detecting regressions, and giving engineers enough context to fix them. Teams connect the ClickStack and Hud MCP servers to a single coding agent, while shared trace IDs correlate OpenTelemetry traces and logs with Hud’s function-level metrics and forensic data; Hud’s Runtime Code Sensor requires no manual instrumentation and runs with low overhead in production. The resulting workflows support pre-deployment risk assessment against production behavior, release monitoring, auto-triage and auto-fix, and rollback or code-level remediation when issues arise."

# ClickStack and Hud bring runtime intelligence to AI-powered development

**Type:** Announcement

## Summary

ClickHouse and Hud announce an integration that combines ClickStack’s service-level observability with Hud’s function-level runtime forensics for AI-assisted software development. As coding agents generate more code, the post identifies the central challenge as assessing production risk, detecting regressions, and giving engineers enough context to fix them. Teams connect the ClickStack and Hud MCP servers to a single coding agent, while shared trace IDs correlate OpenTelemetry traces and logs with Hud’s function-level metrics and forensic data; Hud’s Runtime Code Sensor requires no manual instrumentation and runs with low overhead in production. The resulting workflows support pre-deployment risk assessment against production behavior, release monitoring, auto-triage and auto-fix, and rollback or code-level remediation when issues arise.

## Context

The post says AI-generated code is increasing, while human review and traditional testing cannot always show how changes will behave in real-world production. It frames the resulting challenge as determining which changes are safe to ship, detecting live problems, and providing engineers and coding agents with enough runtime context to resolve them quickly.

## Approach / What changed

ClickStack and Hud are connected through their MCP servers and shared trace IDs. ClickStack uses OpenTelemetry data to localize issues across services, deployments, and endpoints, while Hud’s Runtime Code Sensor supplies function-level metrics and forensic context without manual instrumentation. The integration supports pre-deployment checks, release monitoring, incident response, and agentic workflows for triage, fixes, risk scoring, and rollback.

## Takeaways

- Shared trace IDs correlate Hud’s function-level forensics with ClickStack traces and logs, allowing investigations to move from a failing function to relevant ClickHouse signals and from service-level alerts back to code context.
- ClickStack covers distributed-system and infrastructure visibility, while Hud covers functions written by teams and coding agents; the post says Hud requires no manual instrumentation and runs with low overhead in production.
- Customer-configured workflows can compare proposed code changes with production runtime behavior before deployment, flagging risky changes for review, testing, or correction. After deployment, workflows can monitor regressions and support rollback or fixes.
