In the realm of modern, complex systems, observability is the cornerstone of resilience. This session, themed ‘Observability,’ delves into the critical metrics that act as early warning signals for your systems, akin to how a heartbeat indicates a person’s health. Metrics such as latency, error rates, and saturation provide invaluable insights into the health of applications and infrastructure.

We will begin with an introduction to observability and its significance in preempting failures to ensure smooth system operations. In today’s intricate environments, where microservices and distributed architectures are the norm, having the right data is essential to avoid flying blind. Observability empowers you to foresee and mitigate issues before they escalate into outages.

This session will highlight the importance of the three pillars of observability—logs, metrics, and tracing—and their role in efficiently detecting and diagnosing issues. We will explore how observability supports a shift-left approach, starting from the developer’s laptop, to identify issues early in the development cycle.

By the end of this session, attendees will gain a thorough understanding of how observability can transform their approach to system health, enabling them to predict and prevent outages effectively. Join us to learn how to harness the power of observability and build more resilient systems.
