Speaking Session

Finding Observability and DevEx Tranquility Sailing the Monitoring Data Seas

Eric D. Schabell & Graziano Casto from Mia-Platforms

In rapidly expanding cloud-native ecosystem, managing distributed architectures feels like navigating stormy seas with waves of telemetry data. Yet this data can offer vital insights to sail smoothly. This session will explore strategies to avoid drowning, improving DevEx, and more.

The cloud-native ecosystem has grown exponentially in the last few years, as has the complexity of the distributed architectures being built. In a context where keeping up with technology requires a substantial amount of computational power and data, monitoring our cloud-native applications has become a constant struggle against the storm. The ever-increasing volume of traces, metrics, events, and logs generated by our systems is a double-edged sword: on one hand, if not managed correctly, becoming a distraction from needed insights. On the other hand, if approached with care and thought, providing organizations the chance to sail calm cloud-native seas.

In this session, we will discover how to avoid drowning in the sea of monitoring data, instead understanding how to provide insights while using only what is needed. We will explore the emerging scenarios on the horizon, abandoning the oars and testing the waters of artificial intelligence as it applies to our observability use cases. We will discuss how to leverage monitoring data, conversational DevEx, and anomaly prediction, among other topics, in this talk.
