Hey,

Article 6 of the AI-Native IDP series is live:

The AI Governance Dashboard

You've added AI to catalog enrichment, scaffolding, code review, and doc search. But now your CTO asks "how much does this cost?" and you don't know. A team lead wants to disable AI reviews for their team and you can't do that without changing code.

In this article:

• A logging middleware that tracks every AI action — tokens, duration, status, team

• Policy enforcement: enable/disable features per team, set daily limits

• A cost estimation dashboard with daily breakdowns

• A Backstage frontend plugin that gives the platform team full visibility

Every AI feature gets three things: visibility, control, and audit. No more black boxes.

Next up: AI-Assisted Incident Response — when things break at 3am, AI reads the catalog, checks recent deployments, and suggests what went wrong before you finish reading the first stack trace.
