𝗦𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲: The Art of Measuring the Immeasurable: Unpacking Observability 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀: Scattered microservices, multiple products talking across who-knows-how-many cloud environments... and you're trying to keep the whole thing afloat with just basic metrics and logs? It's like navigating a storm with a compass and a leaky boat. But what are you really observing? Can you spot customer trends before they become traffic spikes? Are you just keeping the lights on, or are you truly understanding your systems? In this talk, we'll unpack what observability should mean. It's about way more than just monitoring - it's about truly understanding how your systems behave, what your products actually do, and whether you're even aiming at the right target. We'll go beyond the usual suspects – metrics, logs, and traces – and see how they can all come together like a system-wide nervous system, providing early warning signs and actionable insights. So, if you're tired of flying blind and want new ideas to elevate your systems thinking, come along. We'll navigate the messy world of modern software, armed with the tools and mindset of observability. We'll learn how to measure the things we thought we couldn't, untangle the chaos, and build systems that aren't just working, but ones we genuinely understand.
